As there is no other measurement of right ventricular preload, central venous pressure (CVP) measurement provides unique and important haemodynamic information. CVP is not measured routinely in neonatology and there is a shortage of data in the ventilated neonate. CVP was measured in 62 ventilated neonates. Thirteen had respiratory disorders (28-42 weeks' gestation, birth weight 860-4390 g) and...

This randomized, noninferiority (NI), global, phase 3 study evaluated the efficacy and safety of bendamustine plus rituximab (BR) vs a standard rituximab-chemotherapy regimen (rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone [R-CHOP] or rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisone [R-CVP]) for treatment-naive patients with indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma...

A 21-year-old patient with pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect (PA-VSD) was admitted to the hospital for tubal ligation. Invasive arterial and central venous (CVP) pressure, pulse oximetric oxygen saturation (SpO2), and (from the tip of oximetric central venous catheter) central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) and oxygen extraction rate (ExO2) were continuously monitored. Heart rat...

Extracellular fluid volume (ECF), plasma volume (PV), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), renal plasma flow (RPF), efferent arteriolar oncotic pressure (pi E), sodium output (UNaV), and sodium clearance (CNa) were determined in 150 men including 50 normal controls (NC) and 100 sustained essential hypertensive patients (EH). Total effective vascular compliance (TEVC) and central venous pressure (C...

Whole body heating decreases central venous pressure (CVP) while increasing muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA). In normothermia, similar decreases in CVP elevate MSNA, presumably via cardiopulmonary baroreceptor unloading. The purpose of this project was to identify whether increases in MSNA during whole body heating could be attributed to cardiopulmonary baroreceptor unloading coincident...

La sociedad actual plantea la necesidad de incorporar a educación aquellas capacidades relacionadas con el cuerpo y su actividad motriz dentro los márgenes salud, pues estas resultan determinantes para desarrollo integral persona. Teniendo esto en cuenta, objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar relación entre condición física global (CF), coordinación (CM) calidad vida percibida (CVP) adoles...

Introduction: Maintaining low central venous pressure (CVP) is an effective strategy to reduce blood loss during hepatic resection. As alternative measuring CVP, which requires the placement of a catheter, bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) noninvasive method recently used for monitoring volume status in critically ill patients. Methods: We investigated 192 patients who underwent resection ...

BACKGROUND Accurate assessment of volume status is essential in diagnosis and guidance of decongestive therapy in patients with acute heart failure. We sought to compare peripheral venous pressure (PVP) with central venous pressure (CVP), as well as other invasive hemodynamic measurements, in patients hospitalized with an acute heart failure syndrome. METHODS AND RESULTS PVP-HF (Peripheral Ve...

Over the last two decades, genetic lineage tracing has allowed for the elucidation of the cellular origins and fates during both embryogenesis and in pathological settings in adults. Recent lineage tracing studies using Apln-CreER tool indicated that a large number of post-natal coronary vessels do not form from pre-existing vessels. Instead, they form de novo after birth, which represents a co...

This paper describes the mapping of Finite Impulse Response (FIR) and Decimation filters on a new DSP architecture: the Co-Vector Processor (CVP) developed by Philips. This architecture is targeting the baseband signal processing algorithms for the third generation mobile communication (3G). CVP is a Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) architecture with functional units supporting vector parallel...
