How should we measure and report elasticity in aortic tissue?
BACKGROUND Different stress-strain definitions are used in the literature to measure the elastic modulus in aortic tissue. There is no agreement as to which stress-strain definition should be implemented. The purpose of this study is to show how different results are given by the various definitions of stress-strain used and to recommend a specific definition when testing aortic tissues. METH...
متن کاملSympathovagal balance: how should we measure it?
There are complex interactions between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system inputs to the sinus node. The concept of "sympathovagal balance" reflects the autonomic state resulting from the sympathetic and parasympathetic influences. Despite widespread usage of a variety of heart rate (HR) variability parameters as indexes of sympathovagal balance, no index has been validated as a ...
متن کاملHow should we measure the ciliary muscle?
In an in vivo analysis of ciliary muscle morphologic changes with accommodation and axial ametropia by Sheppard and Davies, the authors state that “There is a paucity of literature documenting in vivo changes in human ciliary muscle biometry with accommodation.” I agree with the authors, and they should be commended for tackling a wanting area of scientific investigation. Subsequently, the auth...
متن کاملPulmonary arterial compliance: How and why should we measure it?
The pulmonary circulation is a high-flow/low-pressure system, coupled with a flow generator chamber-the right ventricle-, which is relatively unable to tolerate increases in afterload. A right heart catheterization, using a fluid-filled, balloon-tipped Swan-Ganz catheter allows the measurement of all hemodynamic parameters characterizing the pulmonary circulation: the inflow pressure, an accept...
متن کاملHow Should We Measure the “economic” Aspects of Well-being?
The Human Development Index (HDI) uses GDP per capita to measure “command over resources,” which implicitly makes the strong value judgment that inequality and insecurity do not matter. This paper presents revised estimates of the Index of Economic Well-Being (IEWB) for the United States, the U.K., Canada, Australia, Germany, Norway and Sweden for the period 1980 to 2001 and demonstrates that r...
