RENAL OXYGEN CONSUMPTION IN MAN DURING ABDOMINAL COMPRESSION

Renal Oxygen Consumption in Man during Abdominal Compression.

The renal blood flow, glomerular filtration rate and maximal rates of glucose reabsorption and diedrast excretion are greatly reduced in man by increased intra-abdominal pressure (1). These effects may be attributed to simultaneous elevations in renal venous pressure and intra-pelvic pressure which act respectively to decrease blood flow and to halt urine flow from nephrons which have relativel...

Cerebral Blood Flow and Oxygen Consumption in Man NIELS

HE BLOOD FLOW AND OXYGEN METABOLISM of the human brain has been studied intensively since Kety developed the inert gas method in 1945. More than 200 clinical studies employing this method have been published so far, and now the former terra incognita is well mapped out. The information gained from all these studies will form the subject of the present review. It will also include, however, the ...

Oxygen consumption during sleep in atopic dermatitis.

Measurements of oxygen consumption (VO2) were made during sleep in 10 patients with atopic dermatitis. Two groups of healthy children acted as controls. All subjects were studied in bed in an environmental temperature of 24-26 degrees C, and sleep was confirmed during continuous electroencephalographic monitoring. Mean (SD) values of VO2 in sleeping patients who were not scratching ranged from ...

Renal function during chronic anemia in man.

P HYSIOLOGICAL adjustments to slowly developing anemia are so successful that anemic patients characteristically present themselves with only minor complaints of fatigability, weakness, or dizziness, despite severe reductions of the hematocrit to i per cent orless. These adjustments are largely cardiovascular.’ Oxygen transport is maintained by a marked augmentation of blood flow through most p...
