Can arterial stiffness parameters be measured in the sitting position?

Can Lignin Be Accurately Measured?

too simplistic (Sarkanen and Ludwig, 1971), and there are now many examples showing that other phenolics Forages serve an important role in providing nutrients to ruminants besides the cinnamyl alcohols can be incorporated into while providing positive benefits to the environment. Forage cell wall digestibility is incomplete because of several structural features within lignins (as reviewed by ...

Normal paediatric values of arterial stiffness parameters measured by echo-tracking

Background: Increase in arterial stiffness (AS) has recently been recognized as a predictor of cardiovascular disease development. Aim of this study was to provide the normal range of some ultrasonographic AS indices evaluated in a paediatric population with an Echo-tracking system that accurately measures changes in arterial diameter synchronized with the ECG signal.

Bending stiffness of biological membranes: what can be measured by neutron spin echo?

Large vesicles obtained by the extrusion method represent adequate membrane models to probe membrane dynamics with neutron radiation. Particularly, the shape fluctuations around the spherical average topology can be recorded by neutron spin echo (NSE). In this paper we report on the applicable theories describing the scattering contributions from bending-dominated shape fluctuations in diluted ...

Hypotensive and bradycardic episodes in the sitting position during shoulder arthroscopy using interscalene block: can those be alerted?

Age-related Changes in Maximum Pelvic Anteversion and Retroversion Angles Measured in the Sitting Position

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between age and the maximum pelvic anteversion and retroversion angles, as well as the associated pelvic range of motion, measured in a sitting position with free knee movement. [Subjects] A total of 132 healthy volunteers (74 women, 58 men; age range, 20-79 years) were divided into six groups based on age (20-29, 30-39, 40...
