OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the acute hemodynamic responses to multiple sets of passive stretching exercises performed with and without the Valsalva maneuver.METHODS: Fifteen healthy men aged 21 to 29 years with poor flexibility performed stretching protocols comprising 10 sets of maximal passive unilateral hip flexion, sustained for 30 seco
Abstract Maintaining a diverse and balanced sow milk microbiome is essential to piglet development.Thus, this study aimed to examine the effects of probiotic Bacillus licheniformis supplementation on the microbiome composition of sow colostrum and milk, and to review associated health findings in piglets.B.licheniformis DSMZ 28710 was supplemented
Pilonidal sinus is a common problem encountered in proctology clinics.It has a wide spectrum of clinical picture ranging from a single asymptomatic pit to a more complex disease with multiple Caffeine sinuses and secondary openings.Hence, the treatment options could range from observation or simple excision to a more radical approach like flap surg
Luteinizing hormone-choriogonadotropin receptor (LHCGR), a class A G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), plays a pivotal role in the maturation of reproductive organs and embryonic development.Compared with other GPCRs, the subfamily of LHCGR has a large extracellular domain (ECD) to interact with glycoprotein hormones.A unique hinge region connects t
In the quest for understanding correlated electrons, high-temperature superconductivity remains a formidable challenge and a source of insight.This paper Dining Extension Table briefly recalls the central achievement by the study of heat transport at low temperatures.At very low temperatures, nodal quasi-particles of the d-wave superconducting gap
