The cardiomyocyte undergoes dramatic changes in structure, metabolism, and function from the early fetal stage of hyperplastic cell growth, through birth and the conversion to hypertrophic cell growth, continuing to the adult stage and responding to various forms of stress on the myocardium, often leading to myocardial failure.The fetal cell with i
Effect of Scour on the Natural Frequency Responses of Bridge Piers: Development of a Scour Depth Sensor
Local scour is the removal of soil around bridge foundations under the erosive action of flowing water.This hydraulic risk has raised awareness of the need for developing continuous monitoring techniques to estimate scour depth around bridge piers and abutments.One of the emerging techniques is based on monitoring the vibration frequency of either
Critical Accident Analysis Method of Solution System Based on Monte Carlo Homogenization Theory and Finite Volume Method
Based on the Monte Carlo homogenization theory and the finite volume method, a three-dimensional diffusion spatiotemporal dynamics model suitable for the analysis of instantaneous critical accidents was established.The three-dimensional diffusion spatiotemporal OEM Back Up Camera Interface dynamics model was coupled with the unsteady state heat tra
Resurgence of Harrisia portoricensis (Cactaceae) on Desecheo Island after the removal of invasive vertebrates: management implications
Desecheo Island hosts a natural population of the higo chumbo cactus Harrisia portoricensis, listed as threatened under the US Endangered Species Act.The species was extirpated from BOTTLE OPENER mainland Puerto Rico and is restricted to the offshore islands of Mona, Monito and Desecheo.Herbivory by goats Capra hircus, rhesus macaques Macaca mulatt
COMBINATION THERAPY IN THE MANAGEMENT OF ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION: EFFECTIVENESS OF THE LERCANIDIPINE AND ENALAPRIL COMBINATION
This review presents the evidence on the benefits of fixed-dose combination therapy for arterial hypertension management.The focus is on the combination of a Insect Repellant third-generation dihydropyridine calcium antagonist lercanidipine and an ACE inhibitor enalapril.Lercanidipine is characterised by high vascular selectivity and lipophilicity,
