This study reports the combination of Ginkgo flavonoid (GF) and Coriolus versicolor polysaccharide (CVP) in the prevention and treatment of a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (AD). GF is a traditional health product, and CVP is the main active ingredient of the medicinal fungus Coriolus versicolor. The Morris water maze test, the Y maze, and the step-through test showed that the combinational...

Volume expansion often ameliorates symptoms of orthostatic intolerance; however, the influence of this increased volume on integrated baroreflex control of vascular sympathetic activity is unknown. We tested whether acute increases in central venous pressure (CVP) diminished subsequent responsiveness of muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) to rapid changes in arterial pressure. We studied h...

The purpose of this paper is to present an application of fuzzy logic to cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis. The conventional analytical tool cost-volume-profit, commonly called breakeven analysis (BE), is used widely in managerial decision making. In its basic form, CVP analysis examines sales prices, sales volume, variable costs and fixed costs in relation to target profit levels. This traditi...

The Climate Village Program (CVP) is one of the national flagship programs Ministry Environment and Forestry Republic Indonesia to support emission reduction climate resilience. This paper examines challenges strategies for implementing village program in sub-national contexts. Data information derived from discussions, seminars, focus group interviews with local government officials East Kalim...

OBJECTIVE We aimed to present inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter as a guiding method for detection of relationship between IVC diameter measured noninvasively with the help of ultrasonography (USG) and central venous pressure (CVP) and evaluation of patient's intravascular volume status. METHODS Patients over the age of 18, to whom a central venous catheter was inserted to their subclavian vei...

OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to assess the correlation between central venous pressure (CVP) and venous blood gas (VBG) analysis parameters, to facilitate management of severe sepsis and septic shock in emergency department. MATERIAL AND METHODS This diagnostic study was conducted from January 2014 until June 2015 in three major educational medical centers, Tehran, Iran. For patients se...

During angiogenesis in vivo, endothelial cells (ECs) at the tips of vascular sprouts actively extend filopodia that are filled with bundles of linear actin filaments. To date, signaling pathways involved in the formation of endothelial filopodia have been studied using in-vitro-cultured ECs that behave differently from those in vivo. Herein, we have delineated a signaling pathway that governs t...

Sepsis could produce myocardial depression and typically it affects the left ventricle (LV). Sepsis could also affect right ventricle (RV), in addition to the interdependence with LV. RV pressure may be elevated secondary to pulmonary vasoconstriction, leading to RV dysfunction. Unlike LV, RV is poorly prepared to compensate for acute overload. Aggressive volume replacement may be vital to main...

The venodilating action of nipradilol was investigated by monitoring arterial blood pressure (BP), cardiac output (CO), heart rate (HR) and central venous pressure (CVP) in pithed rats treated with dihydroergotamine (DHE). DHE increased CVP and produced a simultaneous rise in BP and CO without appreciable changes in total peripheral resistance (TPR) and HR, indicating that DHE reduces venous ca...

A two-dimensional model problem is used to study the evolution of the cross section of a transverse jet and the counter-rotating vortex pair CVP . The solution to the model problem shows deformation of the jet similar to that observed in a transverse jet, and also yields a CVP. These phenomena are explained in terms of the acceleration the jet experiences in the direction of the cross-flow, and...
