INTRODUCTION: Plasma vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels are increased after surgery and may stimulate tumor growth after cancer resection. Angiopoietin 1 (Ang 1) and Ang 2 are proteins that impact VEGF-related angiogenesis (VRA). Ang 1 stabilizes mature vessels and inhibits VRA, whereas Ang 2 destabilizes…

BACKGROUND: Poor postural balance in the upright position is strongly correlated to morbidities, such as falls in older adult populations and to lower limb injuries in the younger populations.
