Sentence examples for mechanical workload from inspiring English sources

The adult mammalian heart can considerably increase (hypertrophy) or decrease (atrophy) its size in response to alterations in mechanical workload.

They postulated that the rigid nature of the tracheostomy tube represents reduced imposed work of breathing compared with the longer, thermoliable endotracheal tube and concluded that tracheostomy can substantially reduce the mechanical workload of ventilator-dependent patients.

We found that cardiac VASP expression was upregulated in lysates from 1-week-old and adult hypertrophic hearts, conditions in which the heart is confronted with a sudden and dramatic increase in mechanical workload.

Although the mdx mouse has a pronounced hunch, lower muscle regenerative capacity and cardiomyopathic abnormalities compared with wild-type controls [ 40, 41], the phenotype of the disorder is milder in the mouse than in human sufferers unless the mouse is subjected to physical exercise [ 42] or to ex vivo or in vivo increases in mechanical workload [ 43, 44].

The mechanical dyssynchronous contraction pattern is associated with a reduction in LV pump function by an asymmetric redistribution of mechanical workload in the myocardium, which in turn results in a redistribution of oxygen demand and perfusion, as well as in asymmetrical hypertrophy [ 13– 16].

The focus is specifically on performance characterization of linear and nonlinear mechanical structural analysis workloads over multi-core and multi-node computing resources.

Reactivation of this program is a potential strategy when the heart is challenged by unfavorable mechanical and metabolic workloads in order to prevent transition from compensated hypertrophy to HF [ 3, 6, 7].

Changes in ICU utilization (length of stay, frequency of mechanical ventilation use), nursing workload assessed byTISS-28 score, as well as inappropriate bed use, accessibility of the ICU (number of referrals), and clinical outcome indicators (readmission and mortality rates) were measured.
