p38 MAPK mediated in compressive stress-induced chondrogenesis of rat bone marrow MSCs in 3D alginate scaffolds.

29 Nov 2009 Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are well known to have the capability to form bone and cartilage, and chondrogenesis derived from MSCs is reported to be affected by mechanical stimuli. This research was aimed to study the effects of cyclic compressive ... Read more...

The importance of flow and pressure release in emergency jet ventilation devices.

22 Nov 2009 BACKGROUND: Several self-assembled devices, consisting of a three-way stopcock connected to a high pressure oxygen source, have been proposed for transtracheal jet ventilation in an emergency situation. As a three-way stopcock acts as a 'flow ... Read more...

Cricoid pressure results in compression of the postcricoid hypopharynx: the esophageal position is irrelevant.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Sellick described cricoid pressure (CP) as pinching the esophagus between the cricoid ring and the cervical spine. A recent report noted that with the application of CP, the esophagus moved laterally more than 90% of the time, ... Read more...
