In animal studies, high dosages of corticosteroids cause changes in diaphragm structure and function. The present study was designed to investigate the effects of long-term low-dose methylprednisolone (MP) administration on rat diaphragm contractile properties and morphology. Thirty adult rats were

The biochemical, histochemical, and structural changes induced by endurance training and long-term exposure to high altitude were studied in the diaphragm muscle of rats exposed to simulated altitude (HA: n = 16; Pb = 62 kPa, 463 Torr; 4000 m) and compared to animals maintained at sea-level (SL: n =
## Abstract ## Background Tromboembolic and hemorrhagic complications are significant causes of death in patients with malignancy. These are wellβknown with the use of certain drugs. This study was planned to investigate whether there was any effect of highβdose methotrexate on the hemostatic syst
