The alcohol breath test is reviewed with a focus on gas exchange factors affecting its accuracy. The basis of the alcohol breath test is the assumption that alveolar air reaches the mouth during exhalation with no change in alcohol concentration. Recent investigations have shown that alcohol concentration is altered during its transit to the mouth. The exhaled alcohol concentration is modified by interaction with the mucosa of the pulmonary airways. Exhaled alcohol concentration is not an accurate indicator of alveolar alcohol concentration.

Age-induced oxidative stress: How does it influence skeletal muscle quantity and quality?

With advancing age, skeletal muscle function declines as a result of strength loss. These strength deficits are largely due to reductions in muscle size (i.e., quantity) and its intrinsic force producing capacity (i.e., quality). Age-induced reductions in skeletal muscle quantity and quality can be the consequence of several factors, including accumulation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS), also known as oxidative stress. In old muscle, oxidative stress has the potential to reduce muscle quantity by shifting protein balance in a deficit, and muscle quality by impai... περισσότερα »
Exercise-induced endothelial progenitor cell mobilization is attenuated in impaired glucose tolerance and type 2 diabetes
Circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) contribute to vascular homeostasis and are fewer in those with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) compared with normal glucose tolerance (NGT), suggesting a link between EPCs and T2DM-associated vasculopathies. The purpose of this study was to assess EPC number and mobilization by acute submaximal exercise in older adults with NGT, impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or T2DM. We tested the hypothesis that EPC mobilization is lower in IGT compared with NGT and further reduced in older adults with T2DM. Forty-five older (50-75 years of age) ... περισσότερα »

Static and dynamic stress heterogeneity in a multiscale model of the asthmatic airway wall.
Airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR) is a key characteristic of asthma that remains poorly understood. Tidal breathing and deep inspiration ordinarily cause rapid relaxation of airway smooth muscle(ASM) (as demonstrated via application of length fluctuations to tissue strips) and are therefore implicated in modulation of AHR, but in some cases (such as application of transmural pressure oscillations to isolated intact airways) this mechanism fails. Here we use a multiscale biomechanical model for intact airways, that incorporates strain-stiffening due to collagen recruitment and dynam... περισσότερα »

Influence of lips on the production of vowels
based on finite element simulations and experiments: [image: cm_sbs_024_plain.png] Three-dimensional (3-D) numerical approaches for voice production are currently being investigated and developed. Radiation losses produced when sound waves emanate from the mouth aperture are one of the key aspects to be modeled. When doing so, the lips are usually removed from the vocal tract geometry in order to impose a radiation impedance on a closed cross-section, which speeds up the numerical simulations compared to free-field radiation solutions. However, lips may play a significant role. In...περισσότερα »
Effects of speech style, room acoustics, and vocal fatigue on vocal effort
Effects of speech style, room acoustics, and vocal fatigue on vocal effort: [image: cm_sbs_024_plain.png] Vocal effort is a physiological measure that accounts for changes in voice production as vocal loading increases. It has been quantified in terms of sound pressure level (SPL). This study investigates how vocal effort is affected by speaking style, room acoustics, and short-term vocal fatigue. Twenty subjects were recorded while reading a text at normal and loud volumes in anechoic, semi-reverberant, and reverberant rooms in the presence of classroom babble noise.

Clinical Proteomics to Catalyze the Cancer Moonshot Program
The Cancer Moonshot Program has been launched and represents a potentially paradigm-shifting initiative with the goal to implement a focused national effort to double the rate of progress against cancer. The placement of precision medicine, immunotherapy, genomics, and combination therapies was placed at the central nexus of this initiative. While we are extremely enthusiastic about the goals of the program, it is time we meet this revolutionary project with equally bold and cutting-edge ideas: its time we move firmly into the post-genome era and provide the necessary resources to ...περισσότερα »
DNA damage foci persist after low-dose radiation
Purpose:Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) enables the delivery of high doses to target volume while sparing surrounding non-targeted tissues. IMRT treatment, however, substantially increases the normal-tissue volume receiving low-dose irradiation, but the biological consequences are unclear. Experimental Design:Using mouse strains that varied in genetic DNA repair capacity, we investigated the DNA damage response of cortical neurons during daily low-dose irradiation (0.1 Gy). Using light and electron microscopic approaches, we enumerated and characterized DNA damage foci as ...περισσότερα »

Intratumoral heterogeneity: sources and significance
Advances in DNA sequencing have created new opportunities to better understand the biology of cancers. Attention is currently focused on precision medicine: does a cancer carry a mutation that is targetable with already available drugs? But, when multiple, targetable mutations arise during the adenoma to carcinoma sequence remains unresolved. Borras and colleagues identified mutations and… Continue reading Intratumoral heterogeneity: sources and significance

Waves of c-Fos and Arc Proteins Expression in Neuronal Populations of the Hippocampus in Response to a Single Episode of New Experience
Accumulation of c-Fos and Arc proteins in neurons in different regions of the hippocampus after single trial of contextual fear conditioning was studied by using immunohistochemical staining. We found that the dynamics of the c-Fos and Arc expression has a biphasic pattern: the first peak was observed in 15-30 min after learning and the second… Continue reading Waves of c-Fos and Arc Proteins Expression in Neuronal Populations of the Hippocampus in Response to a Single Episode of New Experience

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Cortical dysfunction, quantifiable by cerebral perfusion techniques, is prevalent in patients with MS, contributing to cognitive impairment. We sought to localize perfusion distribution differences in patients with relapsing-remitting MS with and without cognitive impairment and healthy controls.
