THE ROLE OF MUSCLE DAMAGE ON JOINT TISSUE
(2022-12-19)The musculoskeletal system is a highly diverse network of tissue that operates in conjunction to one other, both mechanically and biochemically. In states of disorder such as musculoskeletal disorders, this cross-communication ... -
Novel Mechanisms of Peripheral Vascular Dysfunction in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
(2020-08-04)Currently, over 30 million adults in the United States have been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2D). Importantly, T2D disproportionately augments the risk for the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD), ... -
Development and Clinical Application of a Novel Left Ventricular Diastolic Stress Test
(2020-05-14)Cardiology has long focused on the hearts ability to generate forward pressure and ejection of blood from the left ventricle to supply the systemic circulation with oxygen and nutrients. The ability and capacity of the ... -
INVESTIGATION INTO THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN POSTURE AND PSYCHOLOGY: THE PSYCHOLOGICAL RAMIFICATIONS OF FORWARD HEAD AND ROUNDED SHOULDER POSTURE
(2022-05-18)Embodied cognition speaks to the notion that the mind and body are inherently linked, and directly influence one another. Nonverbal communication experts hold the thought that sustaining chronic postures can impact an ... -
Dysregulated Calcium Signaling in Cardiomyocytes from Diabetic Atrial Fibrillation to Chemotherapy-Induced Cardiac Hypertrophy
(2020-08-13)Ca2+ is a vital second messenger in cardiomyocytes and controls excitation-contraction coupling. It also regulates cell cycle, apoptosis, hypertrophy and downstream gene transcription in the heart remodeling. Calcium ... -
