In resistance arteries, a chronic increase in blood flow induces hypertrophic outward remodeling. This flow-mediated remodeling (FMR) is absent in male rats aged 10 mo and more. As FMR depends on estrogens in 3-mo-old female rats, we hypothesized that it might be preserved in 12-mo-old female rats. Blood flow was increased in vivo in mesenteric resistance arteries after ligation of the side art...

Single crystals of pure and A1 and Zn Ti substituted X Fe1201g Hexaferrite (X = Sr or Ba) have been grown from different solvents by spontaneous nucleation growth method. Strong improvement in crystal size was obtained using Naz0 Fez03 flux. Ferrimagnetic resonance measurements (FMR) versus frequency and temperature were made in the millimeter wavelength range. The contribution of the intrinsic...

An optimized therapeutic regimen involving a non-ablative fractionated laser or radiofrequency therapy for acne scars has not yet been established. To evaluate whether the combination of a non-ablative fractional laser (NAF) and fractional micro-needling radiofrequency (FMR) has clinical advantages for the treatment of atrophic acne scars compared with NAF alone, a 16-week prospective, randomiz...

fMRI-based adaptation paradigms (fMR-A) have been used to infer neuronal stimulus selectivities in humans. Inferring neuronal selectivities from fMR-A, however, requires an understanding of the relationship between the stimulus selectivity of neuronal adaptation and responses. We studied this relationship by recording single cells in macaque inferior temporal (IT) cortex, an area that shows fMR...

Facemask removal (FMR) is essential when potential cervical spine injuries occur in athletes wearing helmets. Used football helmets produce high failure rates of screw removal; however, research on lacrosse helmets is lacking. This study aimed to determine the frequency of FMR failure in lacrosse helmets worn at least 1 season. The authors collected used helmets from 4 colleges (n = 172) and 4 ...

BACKGROUND Three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (3D-TTE) with dedicated software permits quantification of mitral annulus dynamics and papillary muscle motion throughout the cardiac cycle. METHODS AND RESULTS Mitral apparatus 3D-TTE was acquired in controls (n=42), patients with left ventricle dysfunction and functional mitral regurgitation (LVD-FMR; n=43) or without FMR (LVD-noMR...

The FMR family of KH domain RNA-binding proteins is conserved from invertebrates to humans. In humans, inactivation of the X-linked FMR gene fragile X is the most common cause of mental retardation and leads to defects in neuronal architecture. While there are three FMR family members in humans, there is only a single gene, dfmr1, in flies. As in humans, inactivation of dfmr1 causes defects in ...

This paper analyses the academic research conducted in financial marketing from 1961 to 2010. To do so, an automatic approach for detecting and visualising the hidden themes is applied. This automatic approach, based on co-word analysis, combines performance analysis and science mapping. It permits visualising the division of the financial marketing research (FMR) into several subfields, and in...

Lateral one-dimensional imaging of cobalt ~Co! films by means of microscopic ferromagnetic resonance ~FMR! detected using the magnetic resonance force microscope ~MRFM! is demonstrated. A novel approach involving scanning a localized magnetic probe is shown to enable FMR imaging in spite of the broad resonance linewidth. We introduce a spatially selective local field by means of a small, magnet...
