Introduction: Event-related fMR1 (1,2) is increasingly being used to assess the temporal dynamics of activation related signal changes. In contrast to conventional studies using block designs this class of experiments enables more flexible task design and quantification of regional differences in response onset (3). However, this approach requires exact knowledge of the intrinsic hemodynamic re...

conclusions fentanyl and fentanyl plus lidocaine effectively decreased the hemodynamic response to tracheal intubation, however, neither fentanyl nor fentanyl plus lidocaine, could inhibit all hemodynamic responses, moreover fentanyl plus lidocaine was not more effective than fentanyl alone. background induction of anesthesia and endotracheal intubation often creates a period of hemodynamic ins...

Hemodynamic monitoring is a costly procedure, both materially and with regard to nursing time involved to ensure proper functioning of the monitoring system and correct interpretation of the data obtained. Dynamic response testing is the ideal method of confirming the ability of a monitoring system to accurately reproduce hemodynamic waveforms. MAP is a stable hemodynamic parameter, because it ...

water shortage in the agricultural sector is currently a major challenge in crop production. the more efficient water usage is that which increases yield without increasing water use. thus, a determination of the water-yield relationship is essential. a field study was conducted to examine water-yield relations in three genotypes of soybeans, including optimum irrigation depth, a comparison of ...

cement dust exposure is associated with increased respiratory impairment. as the major occupational hazard in the cement production industry is cement particles, our aim was to more thoroughly examine the acute effects of occupational exposure to cement dust on the respiratory system. a cross-shift study was conducted in a cement factory in iran. 100 high exposed workers from production and pac...
