Cells of early, fibrous callus in bone fractures possess much alpha smooth muscle actin. This callus contracts and relaxes; however, active and passive components of its force production have yet to be defined. We aimed to establish whether passive ... Read more...
20 Sep 2009 Nitrite, considered a biological waste and toxic product, is being regarded as an important physiological molecule in nitric oxide (NO) biochemistry. Because the interaction of dietary phenolic compounds and nitrite would be kinetically (due to the ... Read more...
Clinical predictors of duration of action of cisatracurium and rocuronium administered long-term.
30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: The duration of action of neuromuscular blocking drugs (NBDs) varies between individuals and even within individuals in different settings. OBJECTIVES: To define predictors of variance in duration of action of rocuronium and ... Read more...
