base deficit is a non-respiratory indicator of acid base status. aim of this study is to assess relationship between the base deficit value in immediate post operative period of cabg and valvular heart disease with cardiopulmonary and in hospital outcome of patient. a total of 136 consecutive with cabg and valvular heart disease scheduled in study. 20 variables were determined during the pre-in...

arteritis due to strongylus vulgaris is a well-known cause of colic in horses and donkeys. the current report describes a fatal incidence of arterial obstruction in cranial mesenteric artery caused by s. vulgaris infection in an adult donkey in which anthelmintic treatment was not regularly administered. necropsy findings of the abdominal cavity revealed a complete cranial mesenteric arterial o...

The respective contribution of systemic vascular resistance (R) and total arterial compliance (C) to the arterial load remains to be established in humans. Effective arterial elastance (Ea), i.e., the left ventricular end-systolic pressure (LVESP)-over-stroke volume ratio, is a reliable estimate of arterial load. It is widely accepted that Ea mainly relates to mean aortic pressure (MAP) and thu...
