Background: Although the beneficial effects of resistance training (RT) on the cardiovascular system are well established, few studies have investigated the effects of the chronic growth hormone (GH) administration on ...

The mechanisms that lead to phenotypic antibacterial tolerance in bacteria remain poorly understood. We investigate whether changes in NaCl concentration toward physiologically higher values affect antibacterial efficacy ...

The heart is a central organ in the fetal adaptation to an adverse environment. Fetal cardiac changes may persist postnatally and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease in adulthood. Knowledge about fetal cardiac ...

There is a necessity to study the behavior of some characteristic in the same sample unit over time in many situations, as accumulated dose of some nutrient. In practice, data structure of this nature generally establishes ...

Moving boundaries and interfaces are commonly encountered in fluid flow simulations. For instance, fluid-structure interaction simulations require the formulation of the problem in moving domains, making the mesh distortion ...

© 2017 Cañas, Herrera, García-Herrera, Celentano and Krause. Aim: Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is associated with a variety of cardiometabolic diseases in adulthood which could involve remodeling processes of the vascular ...

BACKGROUND: Preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction share some pathophysiologic features and are both associated with placental insufficiency. Fetal cardiac remodeling has been described extensively in fetal growth ...
