Is the Measurement of Cardiac Output Useful in Clinical Practice?

[Is the genetic diagnosis of epilepsy useful in clinical practice?].

The genetic diagnosis of epilepsy has become feasible and should help the clinical practice of epilepsy. Epilepsy syndromes where genetic diagnosis is applicable are still limited in number though the list of such epilepsy syndromes including progressive myoclonic epilepsies (PME ) , Dravet syndrome and other familial idiopathic epilepsies is now growing. For the diagnosis of epilepsy, genotypi...

Measurement of cardiac output.

Float catheterisation of the pulmonary artery was described in The Lancet by Dr R D Bradley (as he then was) in 1964 at a time when invasive circulatory monitoring was almost non-existent outside cardiac surgical units, and ‘intensive care’ was a term barely in use. Cardiac catheterisation was laboratory based and required radiological control: management of acute circulatory crises relied on c...

Is measurement of cardiac output using impedance cardiography accurate?

Echocardiographic measurement of cardiac output in rats.

The systematic evaluation of different transthoracic echocardiographic (TTE) methods to determine cardiac output (CO) and the effect of changes in intravascular volume on echocardiographically determined indexes of cardiovascular structure in the rat has not been documented. With the use of 11 Wistar rats, simultaneous echocardiographic and thermodilution measurements of CO were compared at bas...

the effect of pushed output collaborative tasks on the writing skills of efl learners

there is less published research about how teachers in efl contexts respond to students who are relatively less mature and less competent l2 writers. while writing researchers have examined various issues concerning peer and teacher response in writing-oriented classes, little research has centered on the effect of collaborative tasks particularly dictogloss on writing skills. output collaborat...
