The changes in physiologic parameters by swim exercise duration were examined in five female well-trained Jeju crossbred riding horses that had riding experience of more than three years without swim training experience. The horses were performed with swim exercise for 10 min (60.0 m/min) once a day for 14 days. Physiologic characteristics and haematic parameters were measured before swimming, ...

Airway management in critically ill patients involves the identi cation and management of the potentially dif cult airway in order to avoid untoward complications. This focus on dif cult airway management has traditionally referred to identifying anatomic characteristics of the patient that make either visualizing the glottic opening or placement of the tracheal tube through the vocal cords dif...

HE characteristics of myoglobin ifz citro have been demonstrated to be those of a respiratory pigment, but the role of myoglobin ilz vivo has yet to be fully established. The literature to date affords two substantiated concepts with regard to its physiologic muscle as a distinct heme pigment, nature; namely, and that it may that myoglobin exists in striated act as a short-time oxygen store in ...

FOR HKM Heat-related illnesses encompass disorders ranging from minor syndromes to lifethreatening emergencies. The number of children suffering from heat-related illness is increasing. Because of physiologic differences and unique behavioral characteristics, children are at high risk for suffering heat-related illnesses. This article reviews physiologic responses to heat stress and highlights ...

Valve surgery is very different from coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Over the natural history of valvular heart disease (VHD), the physiologic characteristics change markedly and, in the operating room, physiologic and hemodynamic conditions are quite variable and are readily influenced by anesthetic interventions. For some types of valve lesions it can be relatively difficult to predic...
