propofol is a widely used anesthetic drug because of its minor complication and also its fast effect. one of most popular complication in using this drug is pain during injection that is more sever in new generation of its components (lipid-free microemulsion). other complications of propofol are bradycardia and hypotension. this study compares 3 drugs with placebo in control of these complicat...

the pathophysiology of primary benign exertional headache (eh) is not still clearly defined. some researchers have suggested an impaired vascular response as the etiology of this disorder. in this study we investigated whether there are any differences in blood pressure (bp) and heart rate (hr) of the subjects in course of the static and dynamic exercises and the treadmill stress test between t...

patients and methods this was a randomized double-blinded study conducted on 90 patients (18-65 years old, asa i, ii), who needed intubation following trauma. the patients were randomly divided into three groups, group i, group ii and group iii, who have received alfentanil, fentanyl and sufentanil, respectively. heart rate, blood pressure, saturation of peripheral oxygen and end-tidal carbon d...

Identifying brain hemodynamics in event-related functional MRI (fMRI) data is a crucial issue to disentangle the vascular response from the neuronal activity in the BOLD signal. This question is usually addressed by estimating the so-called hemodynamic response function (HRF). Voxelwise or region-/parcelwise inference schemes have been proposed to achieve this goal but so far all known contribu...

The development of postoperative ventricular dysfunction immediately after heart transplantation is a serious complication that leads to low-output syndrome and which necessitates circulatory support. It is one of the most common causes of early morbidity and mortality. We present our experience with 6 heart transplant patients who were treated with intravenous levosimendan, a calcium sensitize...
