Purpose To examine the effect of riboflavin/UVA corneal crosslinking on stromal ultrastructure
and hydrodynamic behaviour. Methods One hundred and seventeen enucleated ungulate …

The effect of a 20 s sustained inflation (SI) and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on
functional residual capacity (FRC) formation at birth were investigated. Preterm rabbit pups (…

Aeration of the lung and the transition to air‐breathing at birth is fundamental to mammalian
life and initiates major changes in cardiopulmonary physiology. However, the dynamics of …

Monochromatic x-ray computed tomography (CT) at two different energies provides information
about electron density of human tissue without ambiguity due to the beam hardening …

Au nanoclusters of less than 4 nm with a narrow size distribution were prepared and supported
in thermosensitive vinyl ether star polymers obtained by living cationic polymerization. …

PURPOSE: High-dose synchrotron microbeam radiation therapy (MRT) can be effective at
destroying tumors in animal models while causing very little damage to normal tissues. The …

The effect of inflation length on lung aeration pattern, tidal volumes, and functional residual
capacity (FRC) immediately after birth was investigated. Preterm rabbits (28 d), randomized …

The factors regulating lung aeration and the initiation of pulmonary gas exchange at birth
are largely unknown, particularly in infants born very preterm. As hydrostatic pressure …

Many neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by the accumulation of abnormal
protein aggregates in the brain. In Parkinson’s disease (PD), α-synuclein (α-syn) forms such …

Phase contrast x-ray imaging of small animal lungs reveals a speckled intensity pattern not
seen in other tissues, making the lungs highly visible in comparison to other organs. …
