Activated matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) cause cardiomyocyte injury during acute pulmonary thromboembolism (APT). However, the functional consequences of this alteration are not known. We examined whether doxycycline (a MMP inhibitor) improves right ventricle function and the cardiac responses...

Matrix metalloproteinase‐2 (MMP‐2) may play roles at intracellular and extracellular sites of the heart in ischaemia/reperfusion injury. Caveolins (Cav‐1, ‐2 and ‐3) are lipid raft proteins which play roles in cell sig‐nalling. This study examined, using immunohistochemistry and two photon...

Objective The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the factorial structure of the short-form version of the self-compassion scale (SCS-SF) and validate its use with medical students. Methods Two hundred medical students completed an electronic questionnaire containing the 12-item SCS-SF...

Inactivating mutations of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) cause multicentric osteolysis with nodulosis and arthritis, one of a group of inherited osteolytic and arthritic disorders. We have previously shown that mice lacking Mmp2 share similar syndromic features with the human disorder, and at...
