Severity-related Alteration in Cardiopulmonary Function

A dose-responsive model of smoke inhalation injury. Severity-related alteration in cardiopulmonary function.

The dose responsiveness of selected physiologic indices was studied in a sheep model of smoke inhalation injury. In this model, graded severity of injury was achieved by changing the contact time with smoke (defined by "unit"), whereas other variables were kept constant. Blood gas and cardiopulmonary indices were measured in 70 sheep, including 12 controls, either 24 or 72 hours after exposure ...

Cardiopulmonary function and scoliosis severity in idiopathic scoliosis children

PURPOSE Idiopathic scoliosis is a structural lateral curvature of the spine of unknown etiology. The relationship between degree of spine curvature and cardiopulmonary function has not yet been investigated. The purpose of this study was to determine the association between scoliosis and cardiopulmonary characteristics. METHODS Ninety children who underwent preoperative pulmonary or cardiac e...

‏‎interpersonal function of language in subtitling

‏‎translation as a comunicative process is always said to be associated with various aspects of meaning loss or gain. subtitling as a mode of translating, due to special discoursal and textual conditions imposed upon it, is believed to be an obvious case of this loss or gain. presenting the spoken sound track of a film in writing and synchronizing the perception of this text by the viewers with...

Anorexigen-related cardiopulmonary toxicity.

Three years after the withdrawal of fenfluramine and dexfenfluramine from the market, the magnitude and prevalence of their deleterious cardiopulmonary effects remain undetermined. The links between these anorexigens and valvular heart disease and primary pulmonary hypertension, however, are clearly established. Because some evidence indicates that the valvular lesions may regress with cessatio...
