Exercise tolerance and skeletal muscle structure and function in patients with severe chronic heart failure by Derman, Kirsten Louise

“…In the first study of this dissertation, 11 patients with end-stage heart failure (NYHA class Ill-IV) and 10 healthy control subjects (C) underwent i) graded exercise to exhaustion for determination of peak oxygen consumption (VO₂ peak) and peak work load (Wlpeak); ii) isometric and isokinetic tests of skeletal muscle function and iii) radionuclide angiography for determination of ejection fraction (EF%). …”

Heavy-flavour production at forward rapidity as a function of charged-particle multiplicity with ALICE at the LHC by Mhlanga, Sibaliso

“…Therefore, the measurement of heavy-flavour hadrons as a function of charged-particle multiplicity gives insight into the mechanisms influencing their production in hadronic collisions at these energies and is a tool to test the influence of MPIs. …”

Comparison of resting state functional networks in HIV infected and uninfected children at age 9 years by Stoltsz, Werner Heinrich

“…Disruption to visual cortex is marked, consistent with indications from neuropsychological testing that visual perception is disrupted. The profile of HIV- and/or ART-related effects on FC differs considerably between the two ages of 7 and 9 years, but both show characteristics of immature functional organisation compared with age-matched controls.…”
