PROBLEM: Question: Does portal venous stasis during liver resection affect platelet aggregability?
Answer: Induced platelet aggregability is not affected by the method of surgical bleeding control used in liver resection. Platelet aggregability seems to be resistant even to portal venous stasis of up to 50 min during Pringle manoeuvre.

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: Question: Are arterial stiffness and pulse wave reflection increased in patients suffering from severe periodontitis?
Answer: The results of this study confirm the association between periodontal inflammation and increased cardiovascular risk shown by impaired vascular health in case of severe periodontitis. As impaired vascular health is a common finding in patients suffering from severe periodontal disease a concomitant routine cardiovascular evaluation may be advised.

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: Question: Does maternal nutrition induce gene expression changes in fetal muscle and adipose tissues in sheep?
Answer: These findings provide evidence that maternal nutrition during pregnancy can alter the programming of fetal muscle and fat tissues in sheep. The ramifications of the observed gene expression changes, in terms of postnatal growth, body composition, and meat quality of the offspring, warrant future investigation.

SOLUTION:
yes
