Effects of Propofol on Cellular Bioenergetics in Human Skeletal Muscle Cells.

Objectives: Propofol may adversely affect the function of mitochondria and the clinical features of propofol infusion syndrome suggest that this may be linked to propofol-related bioenergetic failure. We aimed to assess the effect of therapeutic propofol concentrations on energy metabolism in human skeletal muscle cells.

Design: In vitro study on human skeletal muscle cells.

The Influence of the Age, the Years of Training, and the BMI on the Average Muscle Power in Male and Female Rowers.

The analysis of the testing results of the members of the Rowing club Iktus from Osijek in Croatia was performed. Results were obtained during the regular yearly testing on the rowing ergometer for the rowing season of 2009.

Fractures of the scapular neck: diagnosis, classifications and treatment.

Purpose: Fractures of the scapular, or glenoid, neck are strongly debated in the relevant literature. Analysis of the respective studies, however, revealed a considerable confusion in terms of definition, terminology and diagnosis. In addition, there are few studies, primarily case reviews, dealing in detail with these fractures.
