The aim of this study is to investigate how elevation of body temperature changes organs blood flow during sevoflurane anesthesia. We conducted in vivo research on 14 male Wistar rats to monitor pulse rate and arterial blood pressure and measure hepatic, small intestinal, renal, and descending aortic blood flow using a laser Doppler blood flowmeter. We assessed the changes in organ blood flow, ...

Cold environmental temperatures increase sympathetic nerve activity and blood pressure, and increase the risk of acute cardiovascular events in aged individuals. The acute risk of cardiovascular events increases with aortic pulse wave velocity as well as elevated central and peripheral pulse pressures. The aim of this study was to examine the independent influence of aortic pulse wave velocity ...

Background Thermal component of the atmospheric environment is an important issue which is related to human's health. Thermal environment includes both heat exchange conditions (stress) and the physiological response (strain). The aim of this study was to measure the association of heat indices (PSI, HSI, Humidex) especially subjective one (STI) with some physiological parameters (Blood pressur...

BACKGROUND Distinguishing serious bacterial infection (SBI) from milder/self-limiting infections is often difficult. Interpretation of vital signs is confounded by the effect of temperature on pulse and respiratory rate. Temperature-pulse centile charts have been proposed to improve the predictive value of pulse rate in the clinical assessment of children with suspected SBI. OBJECTIVES To ass...

bronchial breathing were present, and the diagnosis of lobar pneumonia was made. The pulse at the time was 9? p. m. Next morning the patient's temperature was 98.6? F., and the pulse rate 52. For the next six days the temperature was of the same type, viz., 102.5? F. in the evenings, and 98.5? F. in the mornings, with corresponding changes in the pulse rate. Crisis occurred on the seventh day, ...

The patient (male, tet. 35), when admitted to hospital, 2Gth December, 1913, was suffering from intense pain over the greater part of the abdomen, of which the respiratory movements were somewhat restricted. There was no visible peristalsis. On palpation there was some tenderness. No tumour could be felt. The temperature was 101*4 and the pulse 120. The only history which could be obtained from...

the purpose of this study was to determine the seasonal changes of vital signs (body temperature, pulse rate and blood pressure) in relation to the working thermal conditions. in this study a total number of 202 permanent workers of bakeries were studied during summer and winter. the results showed the body temperature and pulse rate raised more in summer than in winter in all workers except wh...
