Calibrating TrueBeam jaws by considering collimator walk out to improve the dose uniformity at abutting field junctions
(2019-01-11)Jaw positions on a linear accelerator are calibrated to have accurate field size values over the range of jaw positions and to have excellent junctions when matching fields. It is sufficient to have field size accuracy on ... -
Calpain inhibition rescues troponin T3 fragmentation, increases Cav1.1, and enhances skeletal muscle force in aging sedentary mice
(2016-02-19)Loss of strength in human and animal models of aging can be partially attributed to a well-recognized decrease in muscle mass; however, starting at middle-age, the normalized force (force/ muscle cross-sectional area) in ... -
Can GPR4 be a potential therapeutic target for COVID-19?
(2021-01-21)Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), first emerged in late 2019 and has since rapidly become a global pandemic. SARS-CoV-2 infection causes damages to ... -
Can Steel Slag Be Used as an Aggregate in Concrete and How? A Technical Approach by and Testing and Theoretical Molding
(2016-05)Steel slag is the molten byproduct from steelmaking operations that is subsequently air-cooled for use. It has been used in cement manufacture and as unbound granular materials in construction. While numerous studies have ... -
Cannabinoids Modulate Neuronal Activity and Cancer by CB1 and CB2 Receptor-Independent Mechanisms
(2017-10-10)Cannabinoids include the active constituents of Cannabis or are molecules that mimic the structure and/or function of these Cannabis-derived molecules. Cannabinoids produce many of their cellular and organ system effects ... -
Cap-Independent mRNA Translation in Germ Cells
(2019-01-04)Cellular mRNAs in plants and animals have a 50-cap structure that is accepted as the recognition point to initiate translation by ribosomes. Consequently, it was long assumed that the translation initiation apparatus was ... -
Cardiac amyloidosis: A case report and review of literature
(2019-03-26)BACKGROUND Cardiac amyloidosis, a disease caused by the precipitation of amyloid proteins in the myocardial extracellular matrix has been historically difficult to diagnose due to lack of specific clinical manifestations ... -
Cardiovascular disease-related miRNAs expression: potential role as biomarkers and effects of training exercise
(2018-03-30)Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are one of the most important causes of mortality worldwide, therefore the need of effective preventive strategies is imperative. Aging is associated with significant changes in both ... -
A case control study of environmental and occupational exposures associated with methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage in patients admitted to a rural tertiary care hospital in a high density swine region
(2014)Background: Distinct strains of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have been identified on livestock and livestock workers. Industrial food animal production may be an important environmental reservoir for ... -
A case of pulmonary hemorrhage and renal failure
(2012-12-14)Background: Alveolar hemorrhage can be seen in many vasculitic disorders. However, granulomatosis polyangiitis (formerly Wegener’s granulomatosis) uncommonly presents with life threatening alveolar hemorrhage and has only ... -
Case report of atypical Still's disease: a diagnosis of exclusion
(2016)Introduction: We present an unusual presentation of a 39-year-old man with myalgias and shortness of breath. Chief complaints: The patient presented to the emergency department with complaints of myalgias, shortness of ... -
Casimir Pistons with General Boundary Conditions
(2015)In this work we analyze the Casimir energy and force for a scalar field endowed with general self-adjoint boundary conditions propagating in a higher dimensional piston configuration. The piston is constructed as a direct ... -
Caspase-3 dependent nitrergic neuronal apoptosis following cavernous nerve injury is mediated via RhoA and ROCK activation in major pelvic ganglion
(2016-07-08)Axonal injury due to prostatectomy leads to Wallerian degeneration of the cavernous nerve (CN) and erectile dysfunction (ED). Return of potency is dependent on axonal regeneration and reinnervation of the penis. Following ... -
CCL2-CCR2 axis promotes metastasis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma by activating ERK1/2-MMP2/9 pathway
(2016-03-29)Distant metastasis remains the major failure of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). In this study, the roles of chemokine C-C motif ligand 2 (CCL2), and its receptor chemokine C-C motif receptor type 2 (CCR2) on NPC metastasis ... -
Cell-Specific “Competition for Calories” Drives Asymmetric Nutrient-Energy Partitioning, Obesity, and Metabolic Diseases in Human and Non-human Animals
(2018-08-10)The mammalian body is a complex physiologic “ecosystem” in which cells compete for calories (i.e., nutrient-energy). Axiomatically, cell-types with competitive advantages acquire a greater number of consumed calories, ... -

Central Santa Catarina coastal dunefields chronology and their relation to relative sea level and climatic changes
(2015)During the past decades, there have been contrarian explanations for the formation and stabilization of coastal dunefields: while many authors believe the dunes formation would be enhanced by falling sea level, others argue ... -
Cerebral Ischemia/Reperfusion Increases Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Levels by An Indomethacin-Sensitive Mechanism
(1998-01-01)In anesthetized piglets, endothelial and neuronal nitric oxide synthase (eNOS and nNOS, respectively) levels were investigated after global cerebral ischemia. Increased intracranial pressure was used to produce 5 or 10 ... -
Cerebrovascular Reactivity Remains Intact after Cortical Depolarization in Newborn Piglets
(1999-01-01)Cerebrovascular reactivity is severely affected by ischemia, and changes in vascular responses have been reported after cortical spreading depression and head trauma as well. Cortical depolarization (CD) occurs during ...
