BACKGROUND S100B is an acknowledged marker of brain damage. However, trauma without brain damage also causes an increase in S100B. S100B concentrations are highest in multiple trauma patients with long bone fractures. Clinically, extensive long bone fractures are associated with haemorrhagic shock and haemorrhagic shock per se is associated with increased S100B. The aim of our experimental stud...

Hypotension in septic shock is a reflection of unregulated nitric oxide (NO) production and vascular smooth muscle guanylyl cyclase activation. We examined the effect of methylene blue on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced shock in anesthetized rabbits. Shock was induced with 150 micrograms/kg LPS after measurement of mean arterial pressure, platelet cGMP, and total plasma NO (nitrogen monoxide+S...

in this paper we investigate the effect of oil price shocks on stock market index in iran, by using of a structural var (svar) approach. we used four variables in the model namely kilian index, global oil supply, real oil price and real stock market index. the data are monthly and spanning the period 1997m10-2014m12. we identify the effect of four different shocks on stock market including oil ...

Detonation of a high-explosive produces shock-blast wave, shrapnel, and gaseous products. While direct exposure to blast is a concern near the epicenter, shock-blast can affect subjects, even at farther distances. When a pure shock-blast wave encounters the subject, in the absence of shrapnels, fall, or gaseous products the loading is termed as primary blast loading and is the subject of this p...

industrial organizations are complex systems` where the interactions among the various functions such as sales, distribution, manufacturing, materials, finance, human resources and maintenance have to be man-aged towards a common purpose of delivering the customers satisfaction. however, since most of these or-ganizations have a `functional structure`, each function or department works towards ...
