Introduction: One of the most common problems during laryngoscopy involves sympathetic system stimulation and the subsequent hemodynamic changes. It is a key measure to maintain the hemodynamic stability of patients with cardiovascular diseases during induction of anesthesia. This study attempted to compare the hemodynamic effects of laryngeal mask airway and combitube. Methods: This prospec...

background and objective: cerebral arteriovenous malformation (cavm) hemodynamic is disease condition, results changes in the flow and pressure level in cerebral blood vessels. measuring flow and pressure without catheter intervention along the vessel is big challenge due to vessel bifurcations/complex bifurcations in arteriovenous malformation patients. the vessel geometry in cavm patients are...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Nerve injury following mask ventilation is a rare but serious anesthetic complication. The majority of reported cases are associated with excessive pressure applied to the face mask, long duration of mask ventilation, excessive digital pressure behind the mandible to relieve airway obstruction and pressure exerted by the plastic oropharyngeal airway. CASE REPORT We p...

With a few exceptions, previous studies have explored masking using either a backward mask or a common onset trailing mask, but not both. In a series of experiments, we demonstrate the use of faces in central visual field as a viable method to study the relationship between these two types of mask schedule. We tested observers in a two alternative forced choice face identification task, where b...

We have used the data from the PASCAL CHiME challenge with the goal of training a Support Vector Machine (SVM) to estimate a noise mask that labels time-frames/frequency-bins of the audio as 'reliable' or 'unreliable'. This noise mask could be used by another block in the signal processing pipeline to treat the unreliable data as missing and then replace the missing data with an estimate of the...

background and objective: the circle of willis (cow) supports adequate blood supply to the brain. the cardiovascular system, in the current study, is modeled using an equivalent electronic system focusing on the cow. method: in our previous study we used 42 compartments to model whole car- diovascular system. in the current study, nevertheless, we extended our model by using 63 compartments to ...
