UNLABELLED Intraabdominal pressure (IAP) can influence blood loss during spinal surgery. We examined the relationship of IAP changes to blood loss with a rectal balloon pressure catheter. Forty patients were randomly assigned to narrow (Group 1) or wide (Group 2) pad support widths of the Wilson frame. IAP was measured when the patient was supine after the induction of anesthesia, prone on a gu...

Not only did diffuse loss mean deviation appear, but abnormal areas appeared with high intraocular pressure in the present patient. If corneal edema affected visual field, only diffuse loss would occur. Refractive error was corrected at examination of FDT. Good visual acuity was maintained under high intraocular pressure. In conclusion, FDT perimetry may show intraocular pressure–dependent, rev...

PURPOSE To detect changes in local blood supply to central, middle, and peripheral retina following acute high intraocular pressure and to investigate the effects of changes in local retinal blood supply on the selective loss of retinal ganglion cells. METHODS The acute high intraocular pressure model of Sprague-Dawley rats was established by increasing the anterior chamber pressure to 110 mm...

hypertension after pediatric renal transplant is a common and important risk factor for graft loss and patient survival. the mechanism of post kidney transplant hypertension is complex and multifactorial. control of blood pressure in renal transplant patients is important but often times blood pressures remain uncontrolled. the management of hypertension and obesity in pediatric kidney transpla...

The Trial of Antihypertensive Interventions and Management is a multicenter randomized trial designed to examine the diastolic blood pressure response of various combinations of pharmacological and dietary interventions in the treatment of mild hypertension (diastolic blood pressure 90-100 mm Hg). Eight hundred and seventy-eight participants at 110-160% of ideal weight were randomly allocated t...

conclusions in conclusion, oral l-arginine supplementation appears to improve anthropometric parameters, blood pressure values, and some blood biochemical indices associated with cardiovascular disease prevention. results significant decreases in anthropometric parameters, blood pressure (sbp, dbp), fbs, hba1c, ldl, mda (p < 0.001), tg (p = 0.02), and tc (p = 0.002) and a significant increase i...

Dynamic arterial blood pressures were recorded by micropuncture of 99 cortical surface arteries and arterioles in cats anesthetized with pentobarbital or chloralose and urediane, using the Wiederhielm servocontrolled micropipette pressure system incorporating pipette tips less than 0.5/A in diameter. During these measurements, systemic blood pressure was varied by supplemental intravenous admin...
