We observed the response of vascular resistance and venous oxygen (O2) saturation to sinusoidally modulated continuous exercise of the isolated dog calf. Stimulus frequency was varied sinusoidally between 0.5 Hz and 1 Hz with modulation frequencies ranging from 0.005 Hz to 0.05 Hz. Venous O2 responses were corrected for dispersion due to vascular and catheter transit. As modulation frequency wa...

background: percutaneous nephrolithotomy (pcnl) for renal calculi is less invasive treatment than open surgery. vascular complications of this procedure include hematoma, pseudoaneurysm and arteriovenous fistula of which pseudoaneurysm is usually symptomatic 24h after procedure. case report : we report a case of pseudoaneurysm, which was symptomatic within less than 24h following procedure and ...

A new method has been described for measuring the pressure and resistance to blood flow in the pulmonary arteries, capillaries, and veins. Studies were performed in dog isolated lung lobes perfused at constant flow with blood from a donor dog. Pulmonary artery and vein volume and total lobar blood volume were measured by the ether plethysmograph and dyedilution techniques. The longitudinal dist...

To test the hypothesis that, in response to an increase in placental vascular resistance and progressive fetal asphyxia, the changes in external carotid blood flow waveforms are directly related to changes in external carotid vascular resistance, we embolized the fetal side of the placenta in pregnant sheep and measured cerebral and external carotid artery circulatory changes in relation to cha...
