[Purpose] Normal values for respiratory muscle pressures during development in Japanese children have not been reported. The purpose of this study was to investigate respiratory muscle pressures in Japanese children aged 3-12 years. [Subjects and Methods] We measured respiratory muscle pressure values using a manovacuometer without a nose clip, with subjects in a sitting position. Data were col...

introduction: a large number of software programs have been used in dentistry for diagnosis and treatment planning to date. however, due to promotion of programming languages and developments in dental sciences, it is necessary to develop and update these softwares. use of softwares for treatment planning for removable partial dentures has been popular for some time and always new softwares hav...

A non-invasive technique was developed for measuring alveolar carbon dioxide and oxygen tension during tidal breathing. This was achieved by solving the Bohr equations for mean alveolar carbon dioxide and oxygen tensions (PACO2, PAO2) from known values of the dead-space:tidal volume ratio measured by helium washout, and from the mixed expired partial pressure of carbon dioxide and oxygen. The d...

Growth of Streptococcus faecalis in a complex medium was inhibited by xenon, nitrous oxide, argon, and nitrogen at gas pressures of 41 atm or less. The order of inhibitory potency was: xenon and nitrous oxide > argon > nitrogen. Helium appeared to be impotent. Oxygen also inhibited streptococcal growth and it acted synergistically with narcotic gases. Growth was slowed somewhat by 41 atm hydros...

Many water-breathing animals have a strategy that consists of maintaining low blood PO2 values in a large range of water oxygenation level (4-40 kPa). This study examines the postprandial changes in O2 consumption, arterial blood PO2, and tissue protein synthesis in the shore crab Carcinus maenas in normoxic, O2-depleted, and O2-enriched waters to study the effects of this strategy on the O2 co...

Hyperoxia during diving has been suggested to exacerbate hypercapnic narcosis and promote unconsciousness. We tested this hypothesis in male volunteers (12 at rest, 10 at 75 W cycle ergometer exercise) breathing each of four gases in a hyperbaric chamber. Inspired Po2 (PiO2 ) was 0.21 and 1.3 atmospheres (atm) without or with an individual subject's maximum tolerable inspired CO2 (PiO2 = 0.055-...

iron-aluminum alloys are one of the most resistant alloys against sulfidation/oxidation environments with low oxygen partial pressures. the high sensitivity to hydrogen embrittlement is the main reason for decreasing of their room temperature ductility. there is a drop of strength above 600 c and their creep resistance is fairly weak. it is possible to increase ductility up to 15 percents and i...

Adv. Opt. Mater. 2021, 9, 2001317 DOI: 10.1002/adom.202001317 It came to our attention that Figure 1 of article[1] displays incorrect partial pressures the different gases in air (columns orange). The updated image shown here correct pressure values. All other information text is correct, and all conclusions work are still valid.

BACKGROUND The project proposes three innovative intervention techniques (treadmill training, mobility training with virtual reality and transcranial direct current stimulation that can be safely administered to children with cerebral palsy. The combination of transcranial stimulation and physical therapy resources will provide the training of a specific task with multiple rhythmic repetitions ...
