Objectives-To evaluate the clinical safety and feasibility of  one layer suture pattern technique in gastrojejunostomy in dog in comparison to two layer suture pattern technique. Study Design-Elective experimental study Animals-Sixteen mix-breed healthy male and female dogs Methods-Sixteen healthy male and female dogs were randomly divided in two groups. In the control group the two layer...

Heart rate increases during inspiration and slows during postinspiration; this respiratory sinus arrhythmia helps match pulmonary blood flow to lung inflation and maintain an appropriate diffusion gradient of oxygen in the lungs. This cardiorespiratory pattern is found in neonatal and adult humans, baboons, dogs, rabbits, and seals. Respiratory sinus arrhythmia occurs mainly due to inhibition o...

BACKGROUND Cardioventilatory coupling is the triggering of inspiratory onset by preceding cardiac activity. We have observed two forms of coupling with a bimodal ('quantal') variation of respiratory period. METHODS We investigated the variables of inspiratory duration (TI), expiratory duration (TE), and tidal volume (VT) where respiratory period variation was bimodal. In 25 anaesthetized spon...

ABSTRACT Background: Acute respiratory infections (ARI) are the main cause for antibiotic (AB) use in all age groups specially the first two years of life. The local information about the pattern of AB prescription in ARI is a necessary part for any program which aims logical use of AB. The current study was designed to find the frequency and types of AB administration for ARI in young children (

Background and Objective: In the current study, the relevance of the respiratory infection with the age, sex, and seasonal variation of the year were studied side by side with the determination of the responsible bacterial pathogen and their antibiotic sensitivity patterns. Materials and Methods: One hundred sputum samples were collected to determine the causative bacteria of respiratory distr...

background: according to the growth of photocopier usage in workplaces, the potential risk of occupational exposure to the airborne chemicals has been raised up. hence, monitoring the photocopy worker's respiratory functions seems to be necessary. we aimed to evaluate the respiratory health on photocopy and printing workers so that a reliable description can be made about their occupational hyg...

In severe hypoxia, respiratory rhythm is shifted from an eupneic, ramp-like motor pattern to gasping characterized by a decrementing pattern of phrenic motor activity. However, it is not known whether hypoxia reconfigures the spatiotemporal organization of the central respiratory rhythm generator. Using the in situ arterially perfused juvenile rat preparation, we investigated whether the shift ...
