BACKGROUND Pulmonary hypertension is a hallmark of high-altitude pulmonary edema and may contribute to its pathogenesis. When administered by inhalation, nitric oxide, an endothelium-derived relaxing factor, attenuates the pulmonary vasoconstriction produced by short-term hypoxia. METHODS We studied the effects of inhaled nitric oxide on pulmonary-artery pressure and arterial oxygenation in 1...

Construction accidents can lead to serious consequences. To reduce the occurrence of such and strengthen execution capabilities in on-site safety management, managers must analyze accident report texts depth extract valuable information from them. However, are usually presented unstructured or semi-structured forms; analyzing these manually requires a lot time effort, it is difficult cope with ...

Particle therapy (PT) has shown positive therapeutic results in local control of locally advanced pancreatic lesions. PT effectiveness is highly influenced by target localization accuracy both in space, since the pancreas is located in proximity to radiosensitive vital organs, and in time as it is subject to substantial breathing-related motion. The purpose of this preliminary study was to quan...

penile amputation is an uncommon urological emergency. although rare, traumatic amputation of penis is a challenging injury to treat. however, modern microsurgical reconstruction techniques have improved success rate of penile replantation and become the procedure of choice for managing these patients. herein, we report on a case of penile amputation following an industrial accident.

Intracoronary acetylcholine produces endothelium-dependent dilation of normal coronary arteries and paradoxical constriction of atherosclerotic vessels. Regional differences in endothelium-dependent vasomotion, however, have not been studied in relation to the nonuniform development of atherosclerosis. We compared the vasomotor response to increasing doses of acetylcholine of angiographically s...
