“…BACKGROUND: The purpose of this article is to examine the systemic circulation and left ventricular (LV) performance by alternative, nonconventional approaches: systemic vascular conductance (G(SV)) and the head-capacity relation (ie, the relation between LV pressure and cardiac output), respectively; in so doing, we aspired to present a novel and improved interpretation of integrated cardiovascular function. METHODS: In 16 open-chest, anaesthetized pigs, we measured LV pressure (P(LV)), central aortic pressure (P(Ao)), and central venous pressure (P(CV)) and aortic flow (Q(Ao)). …”

Acute chest syndrome is the most common form of organ failure and its management should be agressive, including adequate ventilation, multiple antibacterials and simple or exchange blood transfusion depending on its severity. …”

“…Infusion of 140 μM A12 or AI before global ischemia improved cardiac function recovery; increased the activity of Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase (Cu,Zn SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px); decreased malondialdehyde (MDA) content in reperfused heart; and reduced the formation of hydroxyl radical adduct of the spin trap 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide in the myocardial effluent during early reperfusion compared with these indices in control. Anesthetized open-chest rats were subjected to the left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion and coronary reperfusion. …”

“…The accurate measurement of brain activity by Brain-Machine-Interfaces (BMI) and closed-loop Deep Brain Stimulators (DBS) is one of the most important steps in communicating between the brain and subsequent processing blocks. In conventional chest-mounted systems, frequently used in DBS, a significant amount of artifact can be induced in the sensing interface, often as a common-mode signal applied between the case and the sensing electrodes. …”

“…More than twelve peaks were differentially expressed in SARS patients with one at m/z of 11,695 (later identified to be serum amyloid A protein), which had increase in peak intensity correlating with the extent of SARS-coronavirus induced pneumonia as defined by a serial chest X-ray opacity score. The remaining biomarkers could also be useful in the study of other clinical parameters in SARS patients.…”
