The enhanced postoperative recovery (EPR) program is designed to reduce organ dysfunction after surgery, which improves morbidity and speeds recovery by attenuating surgical stress or pain. The main focus of the program is to reduce the use of nasogastric tubes, drains, urinary catheters, and preoperative bowel preparations as compared to conventional recovery procedures and to initiate oral fe...

BACKGROUND In heart failure, the cardiovascular response to activation of the skeletal muscle exercise pressor reflex (EPR) is exaggerated. Group IV afferent neurons, primarily stimulated by the metabolic by-products of skeletal muscle work, contribute significantly to the EPR. Therefore, it was postulated that alterations in the activity of group IV neurons contribute to the EPR dysfunction ma...

Optical and magnetic properties of SiO2:C nanopowders obtained by chemical and thermal modification of fumed silica were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman, continuous wave (CW) electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), echo-detected EPR and pulsed electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy. Two overlapping signals of Lorentzian lineshape were detected in CW EPR ...

A bstract The ER = EPR correspondence relates a superposition of entangled, disconnected spacetimes to connected spacetime with an Einstein-Rosen bridge. We construct examples in which both sides may be described by weakly-coupled string theory. relation between them is given Lorentzian continuation the FZZ duality two-dimensional Euclidean black hole CFT one example, and another example simila...

We study the EPR-type correlations from the perspective of the relational interpretation of quantum mechanics. We argue that these correlations do not entail any form of “non-locality”, when viewed in the context of this interpretation. The abandonment of strict Einstein realism implied by the relational stance permits to reconcile quantum mechanics, completeness, (operationally defined) separa...

We give a simple non-mathematical explanation of Bell’s inequality. Using the inequality, we show how the results of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) experiments violate the principle of strong locality, also known as local causality. This indicates, given some reasonable-sounding assumptions, that some sort of faster-than-light influence is present in nature. We discuss the implications, emphasiz...

Abstract Experimentally monitoring the dynamics of a physical system, one cannot possibly resolve all microstates or transitions between them. Theoretically, these partially observed systems are modeled by considering only states and while rest hidden, merging into single mesostate, decimating unobserved states. The deviation system from thermal equilibrium can be characterized non-zero value e...
