The cardiovascular system has been observed to respond to changes in human posture and the environment. On the same lines, frequent fallers have been observed to suffer from cardiovascular deficits. The present article aims to demonstrate the existence of interactions between the cardiovascular and postural control systems. The behavior of the two systems under orthostatic challenge was studied...

conclusions this study suggests that obese patients in hs may have a higher risk of hemodynamic instability compared to their nonobese counterparts primarily due to obesity-induced increases in intra-abdominal pressure resulting in reduced venous return. results in hemorrhage simulation, moderate increases in bmi were found to produce greater decreases in map and co compared to the normal subje...

prolonged or repeated exposure to cement dust, depending on the duration, level of exposure and individual sensitivity has health implications on the skin, eyes, respiratory and haematological systems. this study assessed cardiovascular disease risk factors and cardiac markers among cement workers of nigerian origin to determine the effects of duration of exposure to cement dust on these parame...

introduction: psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by plaques covered with silvery scales. psoriasis is highly prevalent in different countries in the world, including iran. several studies have reported a significant association between psoriasis and cardiovascular diseases. this study aimed to evaluate the relationship between psoriasis and cardiac disease using echo...

fatty liver disease (fld) is the most prevalent form of liver disease worldwide. overnutrition can induce nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld), a spectrum of conditions ranging from simple steatosis [or nonalcoholic fatty liver (nafl)] to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and cirrhosis. some of the epidemiological and pathological studies have also suggested an association between the presence o...

These reporting guidelines are recommended by the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) to provide a framework for healthcare delivery systems to disseminate cardiac and vascular imaging findings related to the performance of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) examinations.

Proteins play a central role in a systems view of biologic processes. This review provides an overview of proteomics from a systems perspective. We survey the key tools and methodologies used, present examples of how these are currently being used in the systems biology context, and discuss future directions.

background: laryngoscopy is an invasive technique that is associated with severe cardiovascular complications. this study was designed to compare the preventing effect of two doses tramadol injection on the heart rate and blood pressure changes after laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation in elective surgical patients. methods: in this clinical trial study, 189 elective surgical patients randomly...
