The Effects of High-Intensity Functional Training on the Perceptions of Exercise in Middle-Aged Females: A Pilot Study.

The high prevalence of obesity and physical inactivity in the U.S. is a public health crisis.

Measurements of forelimb claw dimensions in cows using a standardised sole thickness: a post-mortem study.

Measurements of both front feet of slaughtered German Simmental cattle (17 heifers, 13 cows) were carried out to document the normal shape and size of the forelimb claws and to gain information about function and possible predisposition to disease. Only clinically normal feet were examined, and a standardised sole thickness of 5mm at the tip and 8mm in the heel region in both claws was established as a reference. The dorsal wall length, dorsal wall angle, heel length, height and width, sole and claw length and claw width, sole circumference and sole area were measured.

Chronic poisoning by copper in tap water: II. Copper intoxications with predominantly systemic symptoms.

Copper can induce acute and chronic intoxications in humans. Copper in tap water has caused a series of severe systemic diseases in Germany in recent years (chronic copper poisoning, CCuP). From the clinical point of view it has been difficult to establish the diagnosis on the basis of clinical and laboratory methods.

Chronic poisoning by copper in tap water: I. Copper intoxications with predominantly gastointestinal symptoms.

Copper can induce acute and chronic intoxications in humans. Copper in tap water has caused a series of severe systemic diseases in Germany in recent years (copper induced liver cirrhosis). Besides cirrhosis, another type of disease with predominantly gastrointestinal symptoms has occurred which likewise appeared to be induced by copper in tap water.

Beneficial effect of amrinone on the size of acute regional ischemia in isolated rabbit hearts.

The effect of inotropes on myocardial ischemia is difficult to predict because they may influence the determinants of myocardial O2 demand and O2 supply differently. Several PDE-inhibitors have been reported to possess antiischemic properties related to their hemodynamic and O2-sparing effects. To assess whether PDE-inhibitors also possess direct cardioprotective properties, the effects of amrinone (2.
