Muscular tissue regeneration may be enhanced in vitro by means of mechanical stimulation, inducing cellular alignment and the growth functional fibers. In this work, a novel bioreactor is designed for radial stimulation porcine-derived diaphragmatic scaffolds aiming at development clinically relevant patches. A Finite Element (FE) model membrane developed, considering two different methods grip...

Amongst the surface treatment technologies to emerge in last few decades, UV-C radiation is widely used food process industries for purpose of shelf life elongation, bacterial inactivation, and stimulation. However, short wave application highly dose-dependent induces different properties product during exposure. Mechanical agricultural products their derivatives represent key indicator accepta...

background: one of the first‑line assessment tools for fetal surveillance is nonstress test (nst), although it is limited by a high rate of false‑nonreactive results. this study was performed to investigate if external stimulation from vibroacoustic and halogen light could help in provoking fetal responsiveness and altering nst results. materials and methods: this is a clinical trial. sampling ...

Anxiety is a reflection of an emotional state or set reactions that occur in person who perceives the situation as personally dangerous; it characterized by subjective feelings tension, worries, gloomy anticipation, and activation autonomic nervous system. The main functions anxiety are signaling, stimulation, adaptation. has three forms expression: physiological, psychological, behavioral. pro...

Abstract Objective . Most neuroprosthetic implants employ pulsatile square-wave electrical stimuli, which are significantly different from physiological inter-neuronal communication. In case of retinal neuroprosthetics, use a certain type reliable object and contrast discrimination by implanted blind patients remained challenging. Here we investigated to what extent simple objects can be discri...
