propofol is a widely used anesthetic drug because of its minor complication and also its fast effect. one of most popular complication in using this drug is pain during injection that is more sever in new generation of its components (lipid-free microemulsion). other complications of propofol are bradycardia and hypotension. this study compares 3 drugs with placebo in control of these complicat...

the pathophysiology of primary benign exertional headache (eh) is not still clearly defined. some researchers have suggested an impaired vascular response as the etiology of this disorder. in this study we investigated whether there are any differences in blood pressure (bp) and heart rate (hr) of the subjects in course of the static and dynamic exercises and the treadmill stress test between t...

fuzzy controllers are being used in various control schemes. the aim of this work was adjusting hemodialysis machine parameters utilizing a fuzzy logic controller (flc) so that patient’s hemodynamic condition remains stable during hemodialysis treatment. for this purpose a comprehensive mathematical model of the arterial pressure response during hemodialysis, including hemodynamic, osmotic, and...

Prefrontal (PFC) cerebral vasoreactivity may be altered in hypertension but has not been studied during postural change and carbon dioxide (CO2) rebreathing. In this study, a dual procedure of 5% CO2 rebreathing with positional change (standing to supine and reverse) was performed on normotensive (N = 24) and essential hypertensive males (N = 16) (18-55 years) to assess reliability of PFC respo...

Introduction: The aim of the study was to investigate the structural and hemodynamic changes as well as cardiac transcriptional profile of the key regulatory proteins, sirtuins family (SIRT1-7), in adaptive and mal-adaptive phases of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Methods: LVH was induced in male Wistar rats (190±20g) by abdominal aortic banding. The third and sixteenth weeks post-surgery ...
