Aortic blood pressure is more meaningful than brachial blood pressures for clinical diagnosis, and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is better predictor for the outcomes than clinical blood pressure monitoring. However, there are few devices which provide continuous central blood pressures and arterial stiffness noninvasively. In this study, pressure sensors were developed to detect two radi...

in this study, the radial distribution and gravimetric storage capacities of hydrogen on coronene (c24h12) and its si substituted forms, c24h12, c24-nsinh12 (n= 4-24), have been investigated at 298 k and 0.1 mpa (standard situation) using (n,v,t) monte carlo simulation by lennard-jones (lj) 12-6 potential. the results show that the increase of number of silicon substitution doesn’t have any eff...

Purpose: The patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders of the knee joint. Hip muscles’ weakness is one of the reasons for PFPS occurrence. The aim of this study was to recognize the effective muscle group in prevention and treatment of patients with PFPS. Methods: This is a prospective and quasi-experimental study in which 30 participants (15 ...

This report describes three phases of research on the direct force method of externally measuring arterial blood pressure. First, a miniaturized transducer was designed specifically for application on the superficial temporal artery of man. This device incorporateda differentialtransformer sensing element with special mounting to reduce response to acceleration. Second, a transducer of earlier ...

[1] On April 13 (day 103), 2001, 0700–1400 UT, the Polar satellite experienced different plasma regimes (i.e., magnetosphere, magnetosheath, and solar wind) because of the solar wind dynamic pressure variations and its high orbital inclination near the subsolar magnetopause meridian. When Polar was in the magnetosheath, quasiperiodic spacecraft potential (SP) variations, corresponding to densit...

Transfer function techniques are increasingly used for non-invasive estimation of central aortic waveform characteristics. Non-invasive radial waveforms must be calibrated for this purpose. Most validation studies have used invasive pressures for calibration, with little data on the impact of non-invasive calibration on transfer-function-derived aortic waveform characteristics. In the present s...

The radial artery usually arises from brachial artery and begins just below the inferior border of teres major. The present study focuses on the radial artery features which are the internal diameter and external diameter as well as thickness of wall and origin level of radial artery to give extensive data for physicians. Present study comprises a dissection of 68 upper limbs which is 34 cadave...

The effects of cannulation of the radial artery were studied in 23 patients. Distal arterial pressure on the thumb, measured during radial or ulnar artery compression, was compared with the result of a modified Allen test performed before operation. Distal arterial pressure on the thumb was monitored for approximately 10 days after removal of the cannula. It was found that radial artery thrombo...
