Age related changes in skeletal muscle activation following short-term resistance training.
(2007)Current research suggests that older adults do not possess the same ability to fully activate skeletal muscle of the lower limb as do young adults. However, it is not known at what age these changes may negatively affect ... -
Age-related influences on markers of inflammation and fibrinolysis.
(2007)Purpose. The primary purpose of this investigation was to determine if age is associated with blood markers of inflammation (C-reactive protein [CRP]) and fibrinolysis (fibrinogen, tissue plasminogen activator [t-PA], and ... -
COMPUTATIONAL INVESTIGATION OF TURBULENT BLOOD FLOW AND HEMOLYSIS IN BIOMEDICAL DEVICES
(2015-12-18)Turbulent blood flow in medical devices contributes to blood trauma, yet the exact mechanism(s) have not been fully elucidated. Local turbulent stresses, viscous stresses, and the rate of dissipation of the turbulent kinetic ... -
AN EXAMINATION OF NON-LOCAL MUSCLE FATIGUE IN UPPER AND LOWER LIMBS
(2016-05-13)Non-local muscle fatigue (NLMF) is a phenomenon that has been described and examined extensively in literature. Traditionally, interventions have been applied in the unilateral limb to examine the potential short-term ... -
IMPACT OF ACUTE INCREASES IN RETROGRADE SHEAR RATE ON MICROVASCULAR FUNCTION
(2017-05-12)Background: Research had well examined the influence of different levels of retrograde shear stress on macrovascular endothelial function. Data showed a negative impact on flow-mediated dilation (FMD), leading to macrovascular ... -
Mechanical properties of human middle ear tissues.
(2007)Mechanical properties of four middle ear tissues were then employed in a published 3-dimensional finite element model of human ear with an accurate geometric configuration to investigate the transfer function of human ...
