Hypertension is a major risk factor for the cardiovascular diseases. One of the factors contributing to blood pressure is peripheral vascular resistance. Vascular stiffness plays a key role in developing the hypertension, leading to increased systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure. from Avicenna s perspective, the blood pressure caused by 1- Increased blood volume 2- Warm heart dystemperame...

We studied the effects of anteroventral third ventricle (AV3V) lesions on the vascular Na+-pump activity and blood pressure of rats prepared by the two-kidney Goldblatt procedure. Blood pressures and Na+-pump activity of the isolated tail arteries, measured as ouabain-sensitive 86Rb+-uptake were determined in rats with renal artery clips, rats with AV3V lesions, and rats with AV3V lesions. Rats...

Due to the periodic movement of the piston in the reciprocating pump, the fluid will cause 8 pressure pulsation, and the vibration of the pipeline will lead to instrument distortion, pipe failure 9 and equipment damage. Therefore, it is necessary to study the vibration phenomena of the 10 reciprocating pump pipeline based on the pressure pulsation theory. This paper starts from the 11 reciproca...

To evaluate whether or not Rho-Rho kinase pathway is involved in the regulation of mechanical activity of lymph vessels, effects of Y-27632 and okadaic acid on lymph pump activity and myogenic, pressure- and agonist-induced tone were examined in isolated rat lymph vessels. Y-27632 caused a significant dilation with a cessation of the lymph pump activity. Y-27632 also produced a dose-related dil...

A new ultrasonic suction pump is described in this paper. The pump uses suction force of the rigid cylinder tube vibrating at an ultrasonic frequency and has no physically moving parts. The pump is consists of a longitudinal bolt-clamped Langevin transducer (BLT) combined with a stepped horn working at its resonance frequency of 24 kHz. A glass tube of the half-wavelength-resonance length is gl...

Automated method for exchange transfusion Sir, Philpott and Banerjee (Archives, 1972) are to be congratulated on their method of exchange transfusion using a two-channel Holter pump. Many have been interested in this technical problem, and the Holter pump provides an acceptable solution. The pumping rate of the machine is accurate to ±3%. More importantly, the discrepancy between the flow rates...

Direct pump control of hydraulic systems is more energy efficient than throttle valve based methods to control hydraulic systems. This requires variable displacement pumps that are responsive and capable of electronic control. Such Electronic Displacement Controlled (EDC) pumps tend to be significantly larger, heavier and more expensive than fixed displacement counterparts. In addition, achieva...
