Therapeutic Possibilities of Using an Oxygen-Metabolism Activator (Solcoseryl) by the Systemic and Topical Route in Ophthalmology Many authors are already interested in the therapeutic use of oxygen. Although its usefulness is recognized, technical difficulties have always restricted wider spread of this practice. G. Goldmann L. Liechti [19] S. Schubert [cited in 19] B. Batencke B. Betastoisky ...

objective: ischemic preconditioning (ipc) is an endogenous phenomenon that can induce ischemic tolerance (it) in variety of organs such as brain. in this study, we examined the intermittent and prolonged normobaric hyperoxia (ho) on neurologic deficit scores, infarct volume, and superoxide dismutase activity. materials and methods: the rats were divided to four main groups. first two main grou...

The primary defect that characterizes circulatory shock is acute perfusion failure, in which oxygen metabolism is critically impaired by decreased delivery of oxygen to tissues. Four categories of hemodynamic deficits are described as the basic mechanisms of circulatory shock: hypovolemia, cardiac failure, distributive deficits, and vascular obstruction. Perfusion failure can be identified by t...

Introduction: Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) is an endogenous phenomenon that can induce ischemic tolerance (IT) in variety of organs such as brain. In this study, we examined the intermittent and prolonged dose of normobaric hyperoxia (HO) on neurologic deficit scores, infarct volume, and catalase activity. Material and Method: The rats were divided to four main groups. First two main groups w...

The objective of this study was to compare the O2 uptake (VO2) kinetics at the onset of heavy exercise in boys and men. Nine boys, aged 9-12 yr, and 8 men, aged 19-27 yr, performed a continuous incremental cycling task to determine peak VO2 (VO2 peak). On 2 other days, subjects performed each day four cycling tasks at 80 rpm, each consisting of 2 min of unloaded cycling followed twice by cyclin...

The current survival sepsis guideline proposes the use of vasopressors and fluid resuscitation to maintain the mean arterial pressure (MAP) ≥ 65 mmHg. Titrating catecholamine infusion to achieve higher MAP has been demonstrated to improve tissue oxygenation, microcirculation, renal function and overall outcome of the patient in some studies and literature on actual hemodynamic goals is scarce. ...

Introduction Loss of functional skeletal muscle due to congenital and acquired conditions produces a physiological deficit for which there is still no effective clinical treatment. Tissue engineering of skeletal muscle in vitro for functional tissue replacement in vivo may provide a potential therapeutic solution to this unmet medical need. One major limiting factor to this approach is that ske...

UNLABELLED Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC), which causes the majority of urinary tract infections (UTI), uses pilus-mediated adherence to initiate biofilm formation in the urinary tract. Oxygen gradients within E. coli biofilms regulate expression and localization of adhesive type 1 pili. A transposon mutant screen for strains defective in biofilm formation identified the ubiI (formerly v...
