Arterial blood gas analysis, the focus of this article, provides a fuller and more accurate ”gold standard” assessment of blood oxygenation status. It allows generation, not only of oxygen saturation (in arterial blood) sO2(a), but a number of further oxygen-related parameters, including the partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood, pO2(a) and the total oxygen concentration of arterial bloo...

STUDY OBJECTIVE To determine whether the presence of an indwelling arterial access line leads to differences in blood-drawing practices and costs, in patients with similar APACHE II scores, in the ICU. DESIGN Prospective, observational. SETTING Adult surgical and medical ICUs at a large military tertiary care hospital. PATIENTS Twenty-five adult (ie, above 18 years old) patients with arte...

fuzzy controllers are being used in various control schemes. the aim of this work was adjusting hemodialysis machine parameters utilizing a fuzzy logic controller (flc) so that patient’s hemodynamic condition remains stable during hemodialysis treatment. for this purpose a comprehensive mathematical model of the arterial pressure response during hemodialysis, including hemodynamic, osmotic, and...

the purpose of this research is to numerically investigate the interaction of pulsatile flow of blood with an axisymmetric artery in various percentages of stenosis. the carreau non-newtonian model and the generalized maxwell rheological model were used to model the blood fluid and the viscoelastic wall of arterial, respectively. the innovation of the present research is modeling of viscoelasti...

Background Arterial stiffness and hypertension are strong predictors of cardiovascular disease mortality. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) first-line antihypertensive agents in reducing blood pressure arterial stiffness. Objective The objective this study was to compare the effects ACEI ARB preventing target organ damage patients with hypertens...

This study aimed to examine the blood lactate and blood pH kinetics during high-intensity interval training. Seventeen well-trained athletes exercised on two different occasions. Exercises consisted of three 30 s bouts at a constant intensity (90% of peak power) with 4 min recovery between bouts followed by a Wingate test (WT). The recoveries were either active recovery (at 60% of the lactate t...

This research studied recycled waste by the Recyclable Material Bank Project of 4 universities in the central region of Thailand for the evaluation of reducing greenhouse gas emissions compared with landfilling activity during July 2012 to June 2013. The results showed that the projects collected total amount of recyclable wastes of about 911,984.80 kilograms. Office paper had the largest amoun...
