Cancer patients assigned for abdominal surgery are often given exercise programmes (prehabilitation) prior to surgery, which aim to improve fitness in order to reduce pre-operative risk.However, only a small proportion of patients are able to partake in supervised hospital-based prehabilitation because of inaccessibility Glass Hardware and a lack o
Mkx mediates tenogenic differentiation but incompletely inhibits the proliferation of hypoxic MSCs
Abstract Background Hypoxia has been shown to be able to induce tenogenic differentiation and proliferation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) which lead hypoxia-induced MSCs to be a potential treatment for tendon injury.However, little is known about the mechanism underlying the tenogenic differentiation and proliferation process of hypoxic MSCs, wh
A Novel Personalized Learning Framework With Interactive e-Mentoring
E-learning has established itself as a new alternative to conventional learning styles to accomplish the goal of education and learning for everyone.The classroom learning style is based on a “one size fits all” approach because, in a typical classroom environment, an instructor has to deal with several students at the same time.A sim
CFD-based design and analysis of air-bearing-supported paint spray spindle
In this paper, an analytical scientific approach is presented for the design and analysis of an air-turbine-driven paint spray spindle, and it is used to improve further the design concept of the existing spindle applied in automotive coating and paint spraying applications.The current spindle on Vacuum Motor Carbon Brushes the market can operate a
Decreased Cognitive/CNS Function in Young Adults at Risk for Hypertension: Effects of Sleep Deprivation
Hypertension has been linked to impaired cognitive/CNS function, and some of these changes may precede development of frank essential hypertension.The stress and fatigue of sleep deprivation may exacerbate these cognitive changes in young adults at risk.We hypothesize that individuals at risk for hypertension will show significant declines in cogni
