Field walking tests are commonly employed to evaluate exercise capacity, assess prognosis
and evaluate treatment response in chronic respiratory diseases. In recent years, there has …

The role of dynamic hyperinflation (DH) in exercise limitation in chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD) remains to be defined. We examined DH during exercise in 105 patients …

This systematic review examined the measurement properties of the 6-min walk test (6MWT),
incremental shuttle walk test (ISWT) and endurance shuttle walk test (ESWT) in adults with …

The series of experiments described in this thesis examine two relatively unexplored

The genus Cuscuta (dodder) is composed of parasitic plants, some species of which appear
to be losing the ability to photosynthesize. A molecular phylogeny was constructed using 15 …

In a prospective, randomized study we examined the effect of (i) ambulatory oxygen and (ii)
a portable, inspiratory pressure support (IPS) device on the endurance shuttle walk test (…

Tumors frequently display a glycolytic phenotype with increased flux through glycolysis and
concomitant synthesis of lactate. To maintain glycolytic flux and prevent intracellular …

Introduction - The metabolic phenotype of tumours (relative to most normal tissues) is shifted
from oxidative phosphorylation to aerobic (Warburg Effect) or anaerobic glycolysis. This …

Oil pollutants, due to their toxicity, mutagenicity, and carcinogenicity, are considered a serious
threat to human health and the environment. Petroleum hydrocarbons compounds, for …
