Abstract Introduction The increase of human space missions in microgravity conditions has led the scientific community to investigate potential effects on astronauts' bodies. There is a high incidence cardiovascular complications, with cardiac arrest being among most difficult manage. On earth, guidelines regarding cardiopulmonary resuscitation are constantly updated; however, microgravity, lit...

In two groups of dogs, the uptake and elimination of halothane and isoflurane were studied using a closed-loop anaesthetic system which automatically controlled end-tidal halothane and isoflurane partial pressures at equi-MAC concentrations. Haemodynamic and respiratory variables were recorded and the anaesthetic partial pressures were measured in the inspired and expired air, as well as in the...

Golgin-160 belongs to the golgin family of Golgi-localized proteins, which have been implicated in Golgi structure and function. Golgin-160 possesses an N-terminal non-coiled-coil "head" domain followed by an extensive coiled-coil region. Using the N-terminal head domain of golgin-160 as bait in a yeast two-hybrid screen, the postsynaptic density-95/Discs large/zona occludens-1 (PDZ) domain pro...
