The purpose of this educational exercise is to describe some of the salient features of the physiology of the mesenteric circulation, focusing particularly on the regulation of its blood flow. The reader is referred to several recent reviews of the subject that are more extensively referenced with original sources (5, 6, 10, 11). Although the terms “mesenteric circulation” and “splanchnic circu...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of different eating times on blood circulation index, pulse wave energy (E), and radial augmentation index (RAI) of healthy adult men. METHODS Blood circulation index, E, and RAI were measured using a three-dimensional (3-D) pulse imaging system (3-D MAC) at before, right after, 30 minutes after, 1 hour after, and 2 hours after ea...

Oxygen is an essential part of the living organism. It is transported from blood to the body tissue by the systematic circulation and large part of it is stored in the blood flowing in capillaries. In this work we discuss a mathematical model for oxygen transport in tissues. The governing equations are established assuming that the blood is flowing along a co-axial cylindrical capillary inside ...

in critically ill infants and children, intravascular (iv) access is sometimes very difficult. in such cases intraosseous (io) infusion should be used as the method of choice. however, in practice, different problems are experienced with this procedure. to overcome the practical problems and to confirm the efficacy of io infusion in reversing hypovolemic shock, an animal model was used by emplo...

There was investigated the contribution of factors of environment to formation of health for adult population on indicators of mid-annual rates of growth/decrease of disease of system of blood circulation and of some interfaced nosology on an example of the population of Vladimir region. The differential criterion of primary disease of system of blood circulation is considered as an indicator, ...

new procedure being described which involves deliberately preventing blood from passing through the chambers and valves of the heart. In some of these operations, when considerable time is required for their completion, a partial solution has been found in the employment of by-pass techniques. These methods demand extensive vascular surgery to connect the apparatus to the patient, and large vol...
