In this data-driven, evidence-based era of medicine, there remains a substantial portion of medical practice that lacks the ‘definitive’ clinical trial or other supporting science. This aspect of medicine is often referred to as the “art” of medicine and addresses that portion of disease management that is also referred to as clinical judgment or experience. There is probably an element of “art...

Cynomolgus monkeys are closely related to humans phylogenetically, and this has resulted in their widespread use as a preclinical model. Hematological data with regard to these monkeys are thus important. Although reference values for blood components and sex hormones have been established for cynomolgus monkeys, those for arterial blood gases have not. The arterial blood gases quickly reflect ...

introduction: following thoracic and abdominal surgery, all patients experience a decrease in pulmonary volumes and atelectasis. different methods are suggested for improvement of pulmonary volumes and blood gas parameters in these patients. in this study the effects of spirometry on pulmonary volumes and blood gases parameters (abg) in coronary artery bypass patients, were examined.  materials...

The study aims to identify the correlation between arterial and venous blood gas variables, in patients with metabolic acidosis secondary to renal failure and/or diabetic ketoacidosis(DKA). Paired arterial and venous blood samples of 100 patients, with metabolic acidosis resultant to renal failure and/or diabetic ketoacidosis during 2009-2011, were analyzed and the correlation between the varia...

The theoretical results of the present work reveal a significant interaction oncoming vortex ring propellant muzzle gases with backward blood spatter. It is shown that there even possibility droplet from backspatter will fully turn around by powerful and land behind victim. Such predicted outcome confirmed experimental data reversed drop trajectories observed in experiments conducted second par...

Obtaining and interpreting blood gases and electrolytes is fundamental to the management of many critically ill veterinary patients. Metabolic and electrolyte alterations are common, and can lead to profound clinical signs affecting many organs (including the heart, skeletal muscle, intestines and the lungs); when severe, death can ensue. This is the second of two articles describing the interp...
