Abstract The topology of the network of load transmitting connections plays an essential role in the cascading failure dynamics of complex systems driven by the redistribution of load after local breakdown events.In particular, as the network structure is gradually tuned from regular to completely random a transition occurs from the localized to me

Improvement of diaphragmatic excursion in the supine position in a patient with idiopathic pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis: A case report
Idiopathic pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (iPPFE) is a rare form of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia.We report a case of a patient with iPPFE in whom postural changes improved diaphragmatic excursion (DE) and exercise tolerance.Chest radiography showed a greater elevation of the diaphragm Dispense Parts at maximum expiration in the supine positi
Attenuation by l-thyroxine of oxidant-induced gut epithelial damage
Objective(s): Severe injuries are often associated with tissue hypothyroidism, elevated damaging mediators in circulation, and broken gut epithelial barrier.However, the relationships between the hypothyroid state and gut epithelial damage are largely unknown.Therefore, in this study, we investigated the effects of L-thyroxine (T4) on in vitro mode
