Species range contractions both contribute to, and result from, biological annihilation, yet do not receive the same attention as extinctions. Range contractions can lead to marked impacts on ...

Abstract: Current technologies are unable to identify the simultaneous contraction of deep and superficial muscles when the subject is in motion. In this contribution, we propose a method to identify ...

Background: The right ventricle (RV) has complex geometry and function, with motion along three separate axes—longitudinal, radial, and anteroposterior. Quantitative assessment of RV function by ...

Background: The functional adaptation of the right ventricle (RV) to the different degrees of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction remains to be clarified. We sought to (1) assess the changes in RV ...

Addressing neck contouring with surgical and non-surgical aesthetic procedures includes understanding the origin of platysmal banding. A theory was postulated to explain this phenomenon via isometric ...

Researchers have developed a new imaging tool, called electromyometrial imaging (EMMI), to create real-time, three-dimensional images and maps of contractions during labor. The non-invasive imaging ...
