It is necessary to assess coronal Cobb angle in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with adult degenerative scoliosis (ADS). But as most ADS patients are elderly patients who are difficult or unable to stand upright without assistance, it is difficult to obtain standing posteroanterior X-ray radiographs. Whether it is possible to use Cobb angle obtained on a supine posteroanterior X-ray rad...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cerebrovascular autoregulation has been described with a phase lead of cerebral blood flow preceding changes in cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), but there has been less focus on the effect of CPP on cerebral vascular resistance. We investigated these relations during spontaneous fluctuations (control) and repeated head-up tilt. METHODS Eight healthy adults were studie...
Objective Surgeons often report musculoskeletal discomfort in relation to their practice, but few understand optimal ergonomic positioning. This study aims to determine which patient position-sitting versus supine-is ergonomically optimal for performing otologic procedures. Study Design Observational study. Setting Outpatient otolaryngology clinic setting in a tertiary care facility. Subjects a...
BACKGROUND Snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) are worse or may only occur in the supine position. The effect of body position on upper airway size has been reported, but the effect on tongue posture has not previously been examined. METHODS Detailed measurements were made of tongue posture from upright and supine lateral cephalograms on 24 men with OSA and 13 men with non-apnoeic snor...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Sleep apnea is very common after stroke and is associated with poor outcome. Supine sleep is known to exacerbate apneas in the general sleep apnea population. We therefore investigated the pattern of sleep positions in the acute stroke period. METHODS Inpatients with acute ischemic stroke underwent full polysomnography that included continuous monitoring of sleep positi...
The aim of the present study was to determine whether estrogen therapy (ET) reduces alterations of the autonomic control of heart rate (HR) due to hypoestrogenism and aging. Thirteen young (24 +/- 2.6 years), 10 postmenopausal (53 +/- 4.6 years) undergoing ET (PM-ET), and 14 postmenopausal (56 +/- 2.6 years) women not undergoing ET (PM) were studied. ET consisted of 0.625 mg/day conjugated equi...
Patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) often exhale along the same flow-volume curve during quiet breathing as during a forced expiratory vital capacity manoeuvre, and this has been taken as indicating flow limitation at rest. To obtain such curves, a body plethysmograph and the patient's co-operation are required. We propose a simple technique which does not entail t...
Purpose: To study the simultaneous effects of prone position and anesthesia on intraocular pressure (IOP) and the time impact on post anesthesia visual loss development in percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Materials and Methods: Twenty patients who were candidates for PCNL were recruited in this study. Intraocular pressure was measured in five occasions: 1. Base line; 2. Ten minutes after an...
Intratracheal instillation is widely used for respiratory toxicity tests in experimental animals. However, there are wide variations in the techniques used for instillation, and it is thus difficult to compare the results obtained using different techniques. To examine the effect of instillation methods, we compared the distribution of a test substance in the lungs of rats after intratracheal i...
BACKGROUND The literature on ventilation (V) and lung perfusion (Q) distributions during general anesthesia and controlled mechanical ventilation in supine and prone position is contradictory. The authors aimed to investigate whether V, Q, and ventilation to perfusion ratio (V/Q ratio) matching in anesthetized and mechanically ventilated volunteers are gravity dependent irrespective of posture....
