The effect of intravenous clonidine on pentagastrin-induced gastric acid secretion has been studied in conscious dogs with Heidenhain pouches. Dose-dependent enhancement of secretion was found in response to clonidine (5-20 mu/kg). Clonidine (20 mug/kg) increased the maximal secretory rate to pentagastrin to a value not significantly different from the maximal response to histamine.

conclusion the results of the study suggest that biofeedback training may help to train stressed athletes to acquire a control over their psychophysiological processes, thus helping an athlete to perform maximally. results two way repeated measure anova was used to simultaneously compare within and between group differences. response time, concentration, heart rate variability, respiration rate...

Exercise performance in chronic heart failure is severely impaired, due in part to a peripherally mediated limitation. In addition to impaired maximal exercise capacity, the O(2) uptake (VO(2)) response during submaximal exercise may be affected, with a greater reliance on anaerobiosis leading to early fatigue. However, the response of VO(2) kinetics to submaximal exercise in chronic heart fail...

abstract  background: the brain response to temporal frequencies (tf) has been already reported, but with no study reported for different tf with respect to various spatial frequencies (sf).  materials and methods: fmri was performed by 1.5t ge-system in 14 volunteers during checkerboard, with tfs of 4, 6, 8 and 10hz in low and high sfs of 0.5 and 8cpd.  results: average percentage bold signal ...

Abstract Recent advances in quantum resource theories have been driven by the fact that many information protocols make use of different facets same physical features, e.g. entanglement, coherence, etc. Resource formalise role these important features a given protocol. One question remains open until now is: how quickly can be generated or degraded? Using toolkit speed limits we construct bound...
