background: hypertension is more common in adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus (t1dm) than the general population. the aim of this study was to detect the pre-hypertensive stage in children with t1d and to evaluate its correlation with diabetic nephropathy compared to non-diabetic children. methods: this was a prospective cross-sectional study in an out-patient clinic of a university hospital....

in this work, a more accurate prediction of liquid evaporation flux has been achieved. the statistical rate theory approach, which is recently introduced by ward and fang and exact estimation of vapor pressure in the layer adjacent to the liquid–vapor interface have  been used for prediction of this flux. firstly, the existence of an equilibrium layer adjacent to the liquid-vapor interface is c...

Introduction: The double pressure reserve (DPR) has recently been shown to have greater prognostic power than metabolic equivalents, heart rate indices, and systolic blood pressure in healthy subjects. It is unclear whether DPR offers any prognostic value in a heart failure population where variables derived from metabolic gas exchange data provide important prognostic information. Methods: Pat...

Background and objective. Beta-blocker overdose may result in intractable cardiovascular collapse despite conventional antidotal treatments. High dose insulin/glucose (ING), and more recently intravenous lipid emulsion (ILE), have been proposed as potentially beneficial therapies in beta blocker intoxication. We compare efficacy of the novel antidotes ING, with ILE, in a rabbit model of combine...

Ischemia-reperfusion generates peroxynitrite (ONOO-), which interacts with many of the systems altered by ischemia-reperfusion. This study examines the influence of endogenously produced ONOO- on cardiac metabolism and function. Nitro-L-arginine (an inhibitor of ONOO- biosynthesis) and urate (a scavenger of ONOO-) were utilized to investigate potential pathophysiological roles for ONOO- in a ra...

background: it has been reported that the chronic oral administration of garlic homogenate protected the rat heart from in vitro ischemic reperfusion injury. however, the biological effects of garlic juice on the heart are expected to be different from oral administration of it. objective: the present study was designed to investigate the effect of garlic juice on the isolated rat heart in isch...
