BACKGROUND Female soccer has grown extensively in recent years, however differences in gender-specific physiology have rarely been considered. The female reproductive hormones which rise and fall throughout the menstrual cycle, are known to affect numerous cardiovascular, respiratory, thermoregulatory and metabolic parameters, which in turn, may have implications on exercise physiology and socc...

UNLABELLED Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy is characterised by an atypical distribution of left ventricular (LV) dysynergy with apical ballooning and compensatory basal hyperkinesis. Coronary angiography is normal. Several substrates have been put forward to explain the underlying pathophysiology such as raised catecholamine levels (due to physical or emotional stress), multivessel epicardial coronar...

In the 1950s, many economists believed that import substitution – policies to restrict imports of manufactured goods was best trade strategy promote industrialization and economic growth in developing countries. By mid-1960s, there widespread disenchantment with results such policies, even among its proponents. This paper traces rise fall as a development idea. Perhaps surprisingly, early advoc...

For classes in informatics it gets more and more important to develop a sustainable curriculum because computer technology and its related items are subject to frequent changes. This leads to the problem that the content of informatics courses suffers from fast decay time. And to make things worse: What we are teaching our pupils and students is far from sustainable knowledge. The scientific co...

To investigate the correlation between cerebral hemodynamic responses and CT lesions in cerebral infarction at the chronic stage, the regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) was studied in patients suffering from cerebral infarction with mental deterioration (38 cases) and patients with chronic cerebrovascular disease without mental deterioration (CVD, 58 cases). Following intra-carotid injection o...

Pulses of ocean primary productivity during the fall season are frequent in mid-latitudes when cooling and wind-driven turbulence erode surface stratification allow injection nutrients into euphotic zone. This phenomenon is often referred to as a phytoplankton bloom, can play an essential role survival marine species winter. In Hudson Bay, we found that pelagic blooms triggered convective mixin...
