Objective: The aim of present study was to evaluate the effects of oral administration of gallic acid (GA) for 21 days alone and in combination with exercise on nerve conduction velocity and sensory and motor functions in rats with sciatic nerve crush. Materials and Methods: Seventy adult male Wistar rats (250-300 g) were divided randomly into 7 groups with 10 in each: 1) Control (Cont), 2) Cru...

an air force has gained command of the air, it should maintain violent, uninterrupted action against surface objectives, so that it may crush the material and moral resistance of the enemy'-Guilio Douhet, 1921.

This paper summarizes the impact that wars had on the history of nephrology, both worldwide and in the Ghent Medical Faculty notably on the definition, research and clinical aspects of acute kidney injury. The paper briefly describes the role of 'trench nephritis' as observed both during World War I and II, supporting the hypothesis that many of the clinical cases could have been due to Hantavi...

Question: How does pharyngeal jaw morphology influence feeding performance and prey use in the trophically polymorphic cichlid fish Herichthys minckleyi ? Organism: Herichthys minckleyi exhibits two discrete pharyngeal jaw morphologies. Molariforms possess flattened teeth and enlarged pharyngeal muscles, whereas papilliforms exhibit more gracile jaws, pointed teeth and smaller muscles. Data: We...

Fatal crush conditions occur in crowds with tragic frequency. Event organizers and architects are often criticised for failing to consider the causes and implications of crush, but the reality is that both the prediction and prevention of such conditions offer a significant technical challenge. Full treatment of physical force within crowd simulations is precise but often computationally expens...

The relationship between muscular force modulation and the underlying nervous system control signals has been difficult to quantify for in vivo animal systems. Our goal was to understand how animals alter muscle activation patterns to increase bite forces and to evaluate how accurate these patterns are in predicting crushing forces. We examined the relationship between commonly used measures of...
