Functional organisation and population behaviour of human peripheral nerve fibres : a microneurography study
(1997-10-31)
With regard to the intraneural organisation of peripheral nerves findings obtained from previous anatomical and physiological studies appear to be controversial. The conventional concept seems to be that peripheral nerves ...
Malaria control measures : impact on malaria and anaemia in holoendemic area of rural coastal Tanzania
(1996-11-22)
available, was not used to complement the clinical diagnosis and fever history was still the main determining factor for chloroquine treatment (P < 0.0001) . Presumptive clinical malaria diagnoses were reduced by 40% when the medical assistant was asked...
Probing and pushing potential genetics, development and training of cognitive functions
(2012-05-15)
Capacities of cognitive functions increase considerably during childhood and adolescence. This development is of importance as poor development can predict lower performance on academic skills. Furthermore, severe impairment ...

(2008-04-18)
Introduction: Endometriosis is a common, benign gynecological disease,
associated with pelvic pain and infertility. It is generally thought to

Kaposi s sarcoma (KS) studies Kaposi´s sarcoma (KS) is the most frequent AIDS tumor (AKS) and associated with HHV-8, but controversial whether a clonal tumor or mostly a reactive proliferation of endothelial spindle cells ...
Ready to pull : force transmission during vascular development
(2019-12-17)
The transmission of mechanical forces controls a multitude of cellular processes such as migration, the formation of new organs, muscle contraction, and resistance to the continuous stress that blood flow exerts on the ...
Regulation of skeletal muscle metabolism and development by small, non-coding RNAs : implications for insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus
(2018-05-23)
microRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of epigenetic post-transcriptional regulators. These short (~22 nucleotides) non-coding RNAs can potently reduce protein abundance through direction of the RNA-induced silencing complex to ...
