Numerous studies have shown that the female sex hormones estrogen and progesterone have multiple effects on the vasculature. Thus our goal was to investigate the effects of estrogen and progesterone on calf venous compliance by looking for cyclic changes during the early follicular, ovulatory, and midluteal phases of the menstrual cycle and during high and low hormone phases of oral contracepti...

background and aim: menopause refers to the cessation of menstruation due to hormonal changes and ovarian inactivity in women. these changes in hormone levels lead to various health consequences. this period of physiological changes usually starts in women with 40-50 years of age, and is characterized by the reduction of estrogen level. the mortality rate of premenopausal women, due to cardiova...

PURPOSE We investigated whether low-dosed oral clonidine premedication before elective intraocular surgery in retrobulbar anesthesia is effective in terms of anxiolysis, sedation, stable hemodynamics, lower intraocular pressure and perioperative endocrine stress response. METHODS In a prospective, randomised, double-blind study, 44 patients scheduled for elective intraocular surgery received ...

abstract background: providing better surgical conditions with meticulous control of intraocular pressure (iop) is one of the most important factors that affect the success rate in ophthalmic surgery. clonidine is a selective central α2 agonist with analgesic, antianxiety and sedative effects which makes it a good choice in premedication recently. in this study, we compared the effects of oral ...

Patients with severe essential hypertension have been carefully studied periodically in an attempt to group them as to probable life expectancy. Forty such patients have been observed while on oral 1-hydrazinophthalazine and a low salt diet. Nineteen of the 33 patients in the groups having a relatively good prognosis for survival had some decrease in diastolic pressure. Only one of seven patien...

BACKGROUND Low levels of serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D are associated with increased arterial stiffness and hypertension. Supplementation with vitamin D precursors has been proposed as a treatment option for these conditions. We examined the effect of oral cholecalciferol on arterial stiffness and blood pressure in healthy normotensive adults. METHODS 40 healthy adults were randomised in this do...

designing and manufacturing the multiple jets simulator and experimental investigation of the multiple jets in crossflow at low velocity ratios have been studied together with design and build a low-speed wind tunnel. a specific rake is used to determine the flow field pressure and changes in static pressure measured by pressure taps in the near field of the jets. there are generally three regi...
