متن کاملLactate: What Does It Really Tell Us?
For much of the 20 century, lactate was largely considered a dead end waste product of glycolysis due to hypoxia ... and a key factor in acidosis induced tissue damage. Since the 1970s a lactate revolution has occurred. At present we are in the midst of a lactate shuttle era; the lactate paradigm has shifted. There is essentially unanimous support for a cell to cell lactate shuttle. The bulk of...
متن کاملA New Look at Ichthyosaur Long Bone Microanatomy and Histology: Implications for Their Adaptation to an Aquatic Life
BACKGROUND Ichthyosaurs are Mesozoic reptiles considered as active swimmers highly adapted to a fully open-marine life. They display a wide range of morphologies illustrating diverse ecological grades. Data concerning their bone microanatomical and histological features are rather limited and suggest that ichthyosaurs display a spongious, "osteoporotic-like" bone inner structure, like extant ce...
متن کاملWhat does mathoverflow tell us about the production of mathematics?
The highest level of mathematics research is traditionally seen as a solitary activity. Yet new innovations by mathematicians themselves are starting to harness the power of social computation to create new modes of mathematical production. We study the effectiveness of one such system, and make proposals for enhancement, drawing on AI and computer based mathematics. We analyse the content of a...
متن کاملMyocardial motion and deformation: What does it tell us and how does it relate to function?
The assessment of cardiac pump function and the potential of local myocardium to contribute to the overall performance are of great importance in many cardiovascular abnormalities. Assessing intrinsic cardiac function requires obtaining information on the true contractility of the heart muscle, assessed locally but interpreted in the context of its contribution to the global ejection performanc...
