Background: Endothelial dysfunction is a marker of early stages of atherosclerosis and in general of cardiovascular disease. Assessing the endothelium can be achieved non-invasively, using the flow-mediated dilatation technique. Method: For the experiment 21 patients with an inactive cardiovascular …

De bekendste verklaring voor de noodzaak van de dwangrotatie van de humerus bij maximale abductie is van Hoppenfeld, waarin hij duidt op een ossale beperking. In deze verklaring suggereert Hoppenfeld dat het glenohumerale gewricht, na exorotatie van de humerus en bij een stilstaande scapula, een gewrichtsuitslag …

Phytophthora infestans, the causal agent of late blight, remains the main threat to potato production worldwide. Screening of 19 accessions of Solanum dulcamara with P. infestans isolate Ipo82001 in detached leaf assays revealed strong resistance in an individual belonging to accession A54750069-1. This …

Een van de diensten van Vis.nl is het kopen en verkopen van domeinnamen. Sommige van deze domeinnamen zijn echter interessant genoeg om eerst te exploiteren (een project uit eigen initiatief). Bouwperceel.nl is zo’n domeinnaam. Nu de huizenmarkt op slot zit denkt Vis.nl dat mensen meer moeite willen …

Alzheimer's disease is growing in numbers, and along with the aging problem a growing demand for healthcare and support on this matter is expected. This document describes research done as to how this problem can be reduced by using the modern technology Augmented Reality. The concept for a new control …

INTRODUCTION: It is difficult to adjust fluid balance adequately in patients with severe burns due to various physical changes. B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is emerging as a potential marker of hydration state. Proteinuria is used as a predictor of outcome in severe illness and might correlate to …

This article uses a study of the life-story narratives of former classmates of Dutch and Moluccan descent to argue that the constructionist approach to intersectionality, with its account of identity as a narrative construction rather than a practice of naming, offers better tools for answering questions …

Using an optimized transformation protocol we have studied the possible interactions between transforming plasmid DNA and the Hansenula polymorpha genome. Plasmids consisting only of a pBR322 replicon, an antibiotic resistance marker for Escherichia coli and the Saccharomyces cerevisiae LEU2 gene were …

Abstract—In many biomechanical motion studies, kinematic parameters are estimated from position measurements on a number of landmarks. In the present investigation, dummy motion experiments are performed in order to study the error dependence of kinematic parameters on geometric factors (number of markers, …
