The extent to which hematocrit (Hct) is regulated and the impact of altered Hct on blood oxygen transport in avian embryos are largely unknown. Consequently, we investigated how acute blood removal or Ringer solution injection modified Hct in day 15 embryos, and how ;blood doping' with erythrocyte-enriched whole blood influenced O(2) consumption in day 15-17 chicken embryos. Mean Hct (+/-s.e.m....

Using a T(1rho) MRI based indirect detection method, we demonstrate the detection of cerebral oxidative metabolism and its modulation by administration of the mitochondrial uncoupling agent 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) in a large animal model with minimum utilization of gas. The study was performed by inhalation in swine during imaging on clinical MRI scanners. Metabolic changes in swine were determ...

AWract-A reaction-transport model that combines gas-phase reactions mcurting within interstitial and intrapellet voids with surface reactions occurring on catalytic sites was used to descritm the oxidative coupling or methane in packed-bed reactors, a typical example or bimodal (h~ogeneous-heterogeneous) reactjon systcma. A kinetic model for gas-phase reactions was a-bled from available literat...

conclusions altogether, ozone had significant positive effects on patients with disk herniation unresponsive to other conservative and minimally invasive treatments. background disk herniation (dh) is one of the most common disk lesions, inducing low back pain (lbp). various therapeutic options have been proposed for treatment of disk herniation (dh). intradiscal injection of ozone has been sug...

Abstract This study aimed to assess the effect of inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) block mandible and infiltration anesthesia maxilla using lidocaine plus epinephrine or prilocaine with felypressin anesthetic agents on systolic diastolic blood pressures, heart rate (HR) peripheral oxygen saturation patients. randomized double-blind clinical trial evaluated 112 patients in four groups (n=28) based ...

The present study investigated the in vivo hemocytic and hepatopancreatic response to Vibrio parahaemolyticus and white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) injection in shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei. The proliferation of bacteria and virus in shrimp, animal mortality, total hemocyte counts (THCs), phenoloxidase (PO) activity, respiratory burst, and gene expression of immune factors associated with immune ...

STUDY OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of a continuous thoracic paravertebral infusion of bupivacaine for pain management in patients with unilateral multiple fractured ribs (MFR). DESIGN Prospective nonrandomized case series. SETTING Multidisciplinary tertiary hospital. PATIENTS Fifteen patients with unilateral MFR. INTERVENTIONS Insertion of a catheter into the thoracic paravertebra...

purpose: to evaluate the effects of intravitreal and intracameral injection of bevacizumab in patients with neovascular glaucoma (nvg).   methods: this interventional case series was conducted on 40 eyes of 40 patients with neovascular glaucoma. data included the extent of iris (nvi) and angle neovascularization (nva), peripheral anterior synechia (pas), and intraocular pressure (iop). followin...

Clinical EPR spectroscopy is emerging as an important modality, with the potential to be used in standard clinical practice to determine the extent of hypoxia in tissues and whether hypoxic tissues respond to breathing enriched oxygen during therapy. Oximetry can provide important information useful for prognosis and to improve patient outcomes. EPR oximetry has many potential advantages over o...

A marked clinical improvement in critically ill human subjects after the intravenous administration of oxygen has been reported by a number of investigators (1 to 5) despite the fact that only about 1.5 to 10 per cent of the calculated basal oxygen requirement was injected. However, in normal and in anoxemic experimental animals, other workers (6 to 10) have observed not only rapid, shallow bre...
