ALVEOLAR DAMAGE: EPITHELIAL DAMAGE AND ENDOTHELIAL DAMAGE

Attenuation by l-thyroxine of oxidant-induced gut epithelial damage

Objective(s): Severe injuries are often associated with tissue hypothyroidism, elevated damaging mediators in circulation, and broken gut epithelial barrier.  However, the relationships between the hypothyroid state and gut epithelial damage are largely unknown.  Therefore, in this study, we investigated the effects of L-thyroxine (T4) on in vitro models of intact and ...

‌Progressive Damage Analysis of Laminated Composites using Continuum Damage Mechanics

In this paper, progressive damage and global failure of composite laminates under quasi-static, monotonic loading are investigated using 3D continuum damage mechanics. For this purpose, a finite element program has been developed using an eight-node 2D layered element including layer-wise plate theory. Damage analysis of a single orthotropic layer under various uniform in-plane and transverse l...

P8: Thalamic Damage and Memory

Memory is the cognitive ability that allows acquiring, store and recalling information. Anterior thalamic dysfunction creates memory deficits in rats and humans. Anterior thalamus forms a memory network in connection with the hippocampus. This connectivity profile proposes that ventrolateral and anterior thalamus may display a nexus between reminder and control functions, such as action or atte...
