V0 is the vascular distribution volume for the tracer in the tissue. In bolus type experiments such as H2O PET, this term is significant, whereas for inhalation of Xenon, the vascular term is not generally included, and Vo = 0. To measure CBF, the free parameters in Eq 1 are varied to obtain an optimal fit of the expression to regional uptake curves, using non-linear, least squared regression a...

We report an uncommon case of simultaneous cardio-cerebral infarction, due to Inferior – right ventricle ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) with acute ischemic stroke. Incidence cardio cerebral infarction is exceptionally rare, incidence rate as low 0.009%. Hemodynamic compromise in patients myocardial may result the blood flow reduction that cause hemodynamic Due rarity this co...

The influence of the sympathetic nervous system on the cerebral circulatory response to graded reductions in mean arterial blood pressure was studied in anesthetized baboons. Cerebral blood flow was measured by the 133Xe clearance method, and arterial blood pressure was decreased by controlled hemorrhage. In normal baboons, the constancy of cerebral blood flow was maintained until mean arterial...

We examined the cerebral circulatory effects of intra-carotid infu­ sion of histamine or its receptor agonists in anesthetized rats. Cerebral blood flow was measured by two methods: an intracarotid I:l3Xe clearance technique and tissue sampling after systemic administration of the diffusible tracer, [14C]iodoantipyrine, Brain metabolic responses were estimated by the 2deoxyglucose method and ti...

Daily estimations of hemispheral cerebral blood flow using the xenon-133 inhalation technique was made in 116 patients during the first three weeks after subarachnoid haemorrhage. The patients' cerebral perfusion on average remained less than the normal perfusion expected for their age (based on a single estimation of cerebral blood flow in 67 volunteers). On each separate day after subarachnoi...

Lidoflazine, a calcium channel blocker, was administered to dogs following twelve minutes of cerebral ischemia, induced by aortic cross-clamping. The effects of lidoflazine (1 mg/kg i.v.) on cerebral blood flow following ischemia was studied in 15 anesthetized, mechanically ventilated dogs. Cerebral blood flow was measured with the radiolabelled microsphere technique before and 10, 30, 60, 90 a...

The effect of chronic renovascular hypertension on the autoregulation of cerebral blood flow was studied in anesthetized baboons. Cerebral blood flow was measured by the intracarotid 133Xe clearance method. Six baboons with renal hypertension of 8-12 weeks' duration were compared with six normotensive controls. The lower limit of autoregulation was determined following controlled hemorrhage. In...

Cerebral blood flow was measured in eight patients who were being treated with dopamine in order to maintain cerebral perfusion after the onset of delayed postoperative ischaemia following intracranial aneurysm surgery. Measurements were made whilst on treatment and repeated either during a reduction in the dosage or withdrawal of dopamine. There was a significant fall in cerebral blood flow in...
