Heart Rate Dynamics after Combined Strength and Endurance Training in Middle-Aged Women: Heterogeneity of Responses
(Public Library of Science, 2013)The loss of complexity in physiological systems may be a dynamical biomarker of aging and disease. In this study the effects of combined strength and endurance training compared with those of endurance training or strength ... -
Heart rate variability and DNA methylation levels are altered after short-term metal fume exposure among occupational welders: a repeated-measures panel study
(BioMed Central, 2014)Background: In occupational settings, boilermakers are exposed to high levels of metallic fine particulate matter (PM2.5) generated during the welding process. The effect of welding PM2.5 on heart rate variability (HRV) ... -
Heart Rate Variability and Its Role in Predicting Atrial Fibrillation in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Graft
(Informa UK Limited, 2023-10)Background: An association between heart rate variability (HRV) and cardiac events in certain diseases has been demonstrated. However, the association with new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) after coronary artery bypass ... -
Heart rate variability biofeedback in patients with alcohol dependence: a randomized controlled study
(Dove Medical Press, 2015)Background and objective In patients with alcohol dependence, ethyl-toxic damage of vasomotor and cardiac autonomic nerve fibers leads to autonomic imbalance with neurovascular and cardiac dysfunction, the latter resulting ... -
Heart rhythm complexity impairment in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016)Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of death in patients with advanced renal disease. The objective of this study was to investigate impairments in heart rhythm complexity in patients with end-stage renal ... -
Heart Valve Tissue Engineering: Concepts, Approaches, Progress, and Challenges
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers, 2006)Potential applications of tissue engineering in regenerative medicine range from structural tissues to organs with complex function. This review focuses on the engineering of heart valve tissue, a goal which involves a ... -
Heartbeat Perception in Panic Disorder: a Reanalysis
(2000)This article describes a reanalysis of seven studies on heart beat perception (HBP) in panic disorder. The pooled sample had 709 participants from eight diagnostic categories. Accurate HBP was uncommon, but more prevalent ... -
Hearty miR-363 controls HAND1 in cardiac cell specification
(BioMed Central, 2014)MicroRNAs regulate target gene expression post-transcriptionally in a myriad of cell types and play critical roles in diverse physiological and pathological processes, including cardiomyocyte development, differentiation, ... -
Heat Shock Protein-90 Inhibitors Enhance Antigen Expression on Melanomas and Increase T Cell Recognition of Tumor Cells
(Public Library of Science, 2014)In an effort to enhance antigen-specific T cell recognition of cancer cells, we have examined numerous modulators of antigen-expression. In this report we demonstrate that twelve different Hsp90 inhibitors (iHsp90) share ... -
Heat Shock Proteins, Autoimmunity, and Cancer Treatment
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2012)Heat shock proteins (HSPs) have been linked to the therapy of both cancer and inflammatory diseases, approaches that utilize contrasting immune properties of these proteins. It would appear that HSP family members Hsp60 ... -
Heat Shock Proteins: Conditional Mediators of Inflammation in Tumor Immunity
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2012)Heat shock protein (HSP)-based anticancer vaccines have undergone successful preclinical testing and are now entering clinical trial. Questions still remain, however regarding the immunological properties of HSPs. It is ... -
Heat shock-inducible Cre/Lox approaches to induce diverse types of tumors and hyperplasia in transgenic zebrafish
(National Academy of Sciences, 2007)RAS family members are among the most frequently mutated oncogenes in human cancers. Given the utility of zebrafish in both chemical and genetic screens, developing RAS-induced cancer models will make large-scale screens ... -
Heat stress-induced memory impairment is associated with neuroinflammation in mice
(BioMed Central, 2015)Background: Heat stress induces many pathophysiological responses and has a profound impact on brain structure. It has been demonstrated that exposure to high temperature induces cognitive impairment in experimental animals ... -
Heat stroke admissions during heat waves in 1,916 US counties for the period from 1999 to 2010 and their effect modifiers
(BioMed Central, 2016)Background: Heat stroke is a serious heat-related illness, especially among older adults. However, little is known regarding the spatiotemporal variation of heat stroke admissions during heat waves and what factors modify ... -
Heat, Heat Waves, and Hospital Admissions among the Elderly in the United States, 1992–2006
(NLM-Export, 2014)Background: Heat-wave frequency, intensity, and duration are increasing with global climate change. The association between heat and mortality in the elderly is well documented, but less is known regarding associations ... -
Hedgehog and Wingless Stabilize but Do Not Induce Cell Fate During Drosophila Dorsal Embryonic Epidermal Patterning
(The Company of Biologists, 2008-08-15)A fundamental concept in development is that secreted molecules such as Wingless (Wg) and Hedgehog (Hh) generate pattern by inducing cell fate. By following markers of cellular identity posterior to the Wg and Hh expressing ... -
Hegemann’s disease and fishtail deformity: aetiopathogenesis, radiographic appearance and clinical outcome
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2015)Purpose A systematic review regarding clinical studies on Hegemann’s disease and fishtail deformity was performed with the aims to: (1) formulate the most up-to-date theory on aetiology in order to better define these ... -
