PURPOSE This study was conducted to identify the preferred transition speed (PTS) between walking and running and the energetically optimal transition speed (ETOS), in runners and nonrunners. METHODS A total of 19 young men were asked to walk on a treadmill at 5 km.h(-1). Speed was then increased by 0.2 km.h(-1) every minute. Subjects were instructed to start running at a particular speed the...

Bone mets are frequent in NSCLC. The receptor activator of Nuclear Factor κB (RANK)/ RANKL/osteoprotegerin (OPG) pathway is important bone development. EGFR signaling promotes osteoclast formation and stimulation. Understanding the biological mechanism development might have implications for treatment strategies. We studied association EGFR, RANKL, RANK, OPG gene expression tumor presence mNSCL...

BACKGROUND Predicting response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) remains a challenge. We evaluated the role of baseline QRS pattern to predict response in terms of improvement in biventricular ejection fraction (EF). METHODS Consecutive patients (pts) undergoing CRT implantation underwent radionuclide angiography at baseline and at mid-term follow-up. The relationship between baselin...
