MOLECULAR MECHANISMS UNDERPINNING THE CIRCULATION AND CELLULAR UPTAKE OF MYCOBACTERIUM ULCERANS TOXIN MYCOLACTONE

Molecular Mechanisms Underpinning the Circulation and Cellular Uptake of Mycobacterium ulcerans Toxin Mycolactone

Mycolactone is a diffusible lipid toxin produced by Mycobacterium ulcerans, the causative agent of Buruli ulcer disease.Altough bacterially derived mycolactone has been shown to traffic from cutaneous foci of infection to the bloodstream, the mechanisms underpinning its metal-anal access to systemic circulation and import by host cells remain large

Evaluation of Calf Muscular Function During the Recovery Phase After the Repair of an Achilles Tendon Rupture

Background: During the recovery phase after the repair of an Achilles tendon rupture, measuring calf muscular function is important for predicting prognosis.Tensiomyography (TMG) is a selective and non-invasive diagnostic method for skeletal muscular contractile properties based on the displacement of Stock Saddle Girths the muscle belly.Case Prese

Associations of maximum and reactive strength indicators with force-velocity profiles obtained from squat jump and countermovement jump.

Understanding the properties associated with the vertical force-velocity (F-v) profiles is important for maximizing jump performance.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the associations of maximum and reactive strength indicators with the F-v profiles obtained from squat jump (SJ) and countermovement jump (CMJ).On the first day, 20 resistance
