The physiology of strength gain
Most beginners experience a rapid increase in strength, followed by a ‘plateau' or levelling out of their strength improvements. After that, gains in muscle strength are hard earned.
Pathophysiology
The exact aetiology of venous ulcers is not certain, but they are thought to arise when venous valves that exist to prevent backflow of blood do not function properly, causing the pressure in veins to increase.
Pathophysiology
Exposure to sunlight leads to a form of DNA damage known as thymine dimer. Thymine dimer indicates the bonding of two adjacent thymine residues in a DNA molecule.
