Our organs and tissues are in constant motion, exposing epithelial cells to mechanical stretch. How these external forces impact cellular morphology, organization dynamics healthy diseased is still being elucidated. Carcinoma, the most common type of cancer, develops sheets forming epithelium lining our cavities. It usually begins with transformation a single cell via activation oncogenes such ...

The TPMS (triply periodic minimal surface) are receiving great attention for production of open cell scaffold structures, example in biomedical applications. In this paper stretch-dominated lattice structures have been considered. Gyroid made epoxy resin by DLP technology was analyzed. compression test results quasi-static (10 -3 s -1 ) and dynamic (4x10 2 conditions used to compute the macrosc...

The effects of the preservative chlorobutanol on primary and secondary endings of muscle spindles isolated from the tenuissimus muscle of the cat were investigated in this study. Chlorobutanol was applied to the bathing solution in final concentrations of between 10 and 100 microg/ml. It induced a reversible and dose dependent decrease in the discharge frequency of both types of ending without ...

Int J Exerc Sci 3(4) : 214-224, 2010. This study examined the effects of single set dynamic and static stretching on vertical jump height and hip and knee range of motion in a sample of college age recreational males. Forty-two healthy, physically active males (aged 18-24) voluntarily participated in this investigation and were randomly assigned to one of three groups (1 set of 20 seconds dynam...

Resistive force and electromyograms from triceps surae muscles were measured during dorsiflexion of both ankles of awake cats before and after interruption of one dorsolateral funiculus (DLF). DLF lesions produced ipsilateral increases in dynamic and static reflex force that persisted over 66 weeks. The increase in dynamic reflex force was velocity sensitive, as demonstrated by a greater effect...

Davis, D.S., P.E. Ashby, K.L. McCale, J.A. McQuain, and J.M. Wine. The effectiveness of 3 stretching techniques on hamstring flexibility using consistent stretching parameters. J. Strength Cond. Res. 19(1):27–32. 2005.—This study compares the effects of 3 common stretching techniques on the length of the hamstring muscle group during a 4-week training program. Subjects were 19 young adults betw...

amodified technique is designed to prepare aligned nanofibers to challenge the existing limitations in collecting methods of nanofibers such as, thickness of collected layer, alignment and productivity of nanofibers. collecting and simultaneously heating of the aligned nanofibers were carried out by using a rotating drum fixed on top of syringe needles and applying hot air flow. this electrospi...

background: rounded shoulder posture is a common abnormal posture in upper quarter. kinesiotape is a new intervention that recently used in rehabilitation. there are no studies have examined the effect of kinesiotape on rounded shoulder posture. therefore the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of scapular kinesiotaping and pectoralis minor stretching exercise on forward shoulder ...
