The purposes of this study were to evaluate the gender difference in exercise tolerance. We analyzed the relationship between the double product (DP) at the double product break-point (DPBP) and the systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean blood pressure (MAP), pulse pressure (PP), heart rate (HR) at DPBP. The subjects were 18 healthy men and 15 healthy women. Exercis...

double pylorus (dp) is a rare condition characterized by the presence of two openings from the gastric antrum to the duodenal bulb, which may be congenital or acquired. herein, we describe a case of dp in a cirrhotic patient.

The product of heart rate (HR) and systolic blood pressure (SBP), the double product (DP), is an indirect index of cardiac oxygen consumption. We used spectral analysis to test the hypothesis that baroreflex adjustments of HR stabilize the DP during spontaneous variations in SBP. SBP and HR were recorded by telemetry in five male conscious rabbits. HR and SBP power spectra each exhibited a low ...

We investigated whether the baroreflex control of heart rate (HR) stabilizes the product of arterial pressure (PA) and HR, called the double product (DP), an indirect indicator of left ventricular oxygen consumption. During pharmacological increases and decreases of PA in conscious rabbits, the mean (±SE) rate of change of the DP with respect to PA(dDP/dPA) was -88 ± 36 and -20 ± 36 DP units/mm...

The effect of a mangosteen product containing multivitamins and essential minerals was tested on immune function and well-being in healthy adults. A randomized, double blinded, placebo-controlled study was conducted in 59 healthy human subjects (40-60 years old). Changes from baseline immune function were measured after a 30-day consumption of the mangosteen product and the placebo. The subject...

in korea, hypertension has become more prevalent with the westernization of korean diets and lack of exercise. this study aimed at investigating the associations between physical fitness variables and hypertension status in korean women.the subjects were 9,216 women aged >20 years who visited a public health promotion center for physical fitness tests. cardiovascular respiratory fitness was eva...

This Note presents a new asymmetric flexure design, the double parallelogram-tilted-beam double parallelogram (DP-TDP) flexure, that enables two times higher stroke in electrostatic comb-drive actuators, compared to the traditional symmetrically paired double parallelogram (DP-DP) flexure, while maintaining the same device footprint. Because of its unique kinematic configuration, the DP-TDP fle...

this study aimed at investigating the variations of blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen consumption and their relationship with body lipid profile in active and inactive students. 10 active students (mean age 21 yr, weight 68.1 kg and height 174.1 cm) and 10 inactive students (mean age 21.5 yr, weight 73.07 kg and height 177 cm) from shahid rajaee teacher training university who volunteered t...

BACKGROUND There is little information about the prognostic value of double product (DP) for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The aim of this study was to investigate whether DP reflects the predictive power of heart rate (HR) or systolic blood pressure (SBP) in ACS patients treated with PCI. METHODS A total of 7590 ACS patients who...

AIM The study was undertaken to detect the clinical signs, postmortem lesions of embryonated duck plague (DP) infected eggs, and histopathological changes of chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) in non-descriptive ducks of West Bengal with special reference to standardize nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR). MATERIALS AND METHODS After postmortem of suspected carcasses, samples were collected fo...
