fat embolism syndrome refers to a constellation of symptoms secondary to the presence of fat globules in the lung parenchyma and/or peripheral blood circulation. the syndrome is most often seen in association with long bone or pelvic fractures and can cause significant morbidity and mortality. the present randomized double blind placebo-controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of...

Effects of acute systemic hypoxia on the cardiovascular system (CYS) and respiration of spontaneously breathing cats were studied in two conditions. 1): Hypoxic air (6-8% 02 in N2) was given to the animal to induce systemic hypoxia for 20 minutes. Hyperventilation at this condition lowered arterial C02 tension (PaC02 hypocapnia). 2): In the second run, induction of hypocapnia was prevented ...

in order to evaluate the microvascular anatomy and the interconnections, 101 fixed brains from human cadavers with a mean age of 41.3 years were subjected to objective scrutiny. symmetry was visualized with an unaided eye and measurements made under microscopic magnification technique using a micrometer. classic symmetry was observed in only 19 of the specimens, whereas the rest of the 82 speci...

background: this study was conducted to assess the validity and reliability of ankle?brachial index (abi) by oscillometric blood pressure (bp) measurement as compared with an automated abi as a gold standard. materials and methods: this study was conducted at golden jubilee medical center, thailand. all the data were collected from 303 patients at risk of peripheral arterial disease (pad) who w...

Background: Previous studies demonstrated a health improving effect in patients underwent an automatic vibratory massage taking 10 minutes. One of reasons that may explain a healing effect of the automatic massage is a stimulated increase in both blood circulation through vascular system and effective size of blood vessels. Objective: This paper aims to quantify a contribution of the auto...

Chronic increases in arterial blood flow elicit an adaptive response of the arterial wall, leading to vessel enlargement and reduction in wall shear stress to physiological baseline value. Release of nitric oxide from endothelial cells exposed to excessive shear is a fundamental step in the remodeling process, and potentially triggers a cascade of events, including growth factor induction and m...
