Control and co-ordination of respiration and circulation.

papers contains, although many of the papers go back many years, much that still has to find its way into text-books. For example, a paper dealing with the use of strychnine as a hypnotic probably introduces a subject which would be novel to many, and yet it is 28 years old. Similarly, the production of temporary mitral incompetence by in-co-ordinated action of the musculi papillares, although ...

Respiration-driven Na+ pump and Na+ circulation in Vibrio parahaemolyticus.

Sodium circulation in Vibrio parahaemolyticus was investigated. We observed respiration-driven Na+ extrusion from cells by using a Na+ electrode. The Na+ extrusion was insensitive to a proton conductor, carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone, and sensitive to a respiratory inhibitor, CN-. These results support the idea of the existence of a respiratory Na+ pump in V. parahaemolyticus. The res...

Hemodynamics, cerebral circulation, and oxygen saturation in Cheyne-Stokes respiration.

Because cardiovascular disorders and stroke may induce Cheyne-Stokes respiration, our purpose was to study the interaction among cerebral activity, cerebral circulation, blood pressure, and blood gases during Cheyne-Stokes respiration. Ten patients with heart failure or a previous stroke were investigated during Cheyne-Stokes respiration with recordings of daytime polysomnography, cerebral bloo...
