The results of studies utilizing the nitrous oxide technic for measuring cerebral blood flow have been reviewed and divided into three groups: (1) those in which cerebral blood flow and metabolism were normal, (2) those in which cerebral blood flow was increased, and (3) those in which cerebral blood flow and metabolism were decreased. The factors which apparently regulate and control cerebral ...

Objective and Setting. After successful implementation, adherence to hospital guidelines should be sustained. Long-term adherence to two hospital guidelines was audited. The overall aim was to explore factors accounting for their long-term adherence or non-adherence. Design and Participants. A fluid balance guideline (FBG) and body temperature guideline (BTG) were developed and implemented in o...

We have approached the study of growth factors affecting cartilage and bone development by investigating those factors present in bone which are able to initiate new cartilage and bone formation in vivo. This has led to the identification and molecular cloning of seven novel human factors which we have named BMP-1 through BMP-7. Six of these molecules are related to each other, and are also dis...

Although infections are a major concern in patients with primary systemic vasculitis, actual knowledge about risk factors and evidence concerning the use of anti-infective prophylaxis from clinical trials are scarce. The use of high dose glucocorticoids and cyclophosphamide pose a definite risk for infections. Bacterial infections are among the most frequent causes of death, with Staphylococcus...

Animal-based food products play a significant role in the current U.S. diet. In 2003, the total meat consumption per capita was 90.5 kg/year [U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) 2005]. Since the U.S. has a high consumption of animal-based food products, the animal feed ingredients are fundamentally important. The ingredients can affect not only the quality of the animal-based food products, b...

Triathlon is a multisport event consisting of sequential swim, cycle, and run disciplines performed over a variety of distances. This complex and unique sport requires athletes to appropriately distribute their speed or energy expenditure (ie, pacing) within each discipline as well as over the entire event. As with most physical activity, the regulation of pacing in triathlon may be influenced ...

Tuberculosis (TB) is infectious but curable. In South Africa, TB treatment is free of charge at clinic level. However, many patients do not complete their treatment and develop multi-drug resistant TB (MDR-TB) and extensive drug resistant TB (XDR-TB) which is very expensive to treat and can be fatal. The researcher was therefore prompted to investigate how TB patients perceived the disease and ...
