The aim of the study was to review maternal hypotension during caesarean delivery with spinal anesthesia. Obstetric complications, such as obstetric hemorrhage and problems related to concomitant maternal diseases are not considered. Reports of hypotension during spinal anesthesia for elective caesarean delivery are frequent (70-80%) when pharmacological prophylaxis is not used. Although some p...

We have examined the effect of prophylactic treatment with i.v. fluid 1000 ml, ephedrine 24 mg or methoxamine 4 mg on cardiovascular responses to both extradural and combined extradural and general isoflurane anaesthesia in 45 adult patients undergoing knee arthroplasty. Heart rate (HR) and systemic arterial pressure (AP) were measured using automated oscillotonometry and cardiac output was mea...

BACKGROUND The use of nicotine replacement therapy before quitting smoking is called nicotine preloading. Standard smoking cessation protocols suggest commencing nicotine replacement therapy only on the first day of quitting smoking (quit day) aiming to reduce withdrawal symptoms and craving. However, other, more successful smoking cessation pharmacotherapies are used prior to the quit day as w...

Basolateral uptake of organic anions in renal proximal tubule cells is indirectly coupled to the Na(+) gradient through Na(+)-dicarboxylate cotransport and organic anion/dicarboxylate exchange. One member of the organic anion transporter (OAT) family, Oat1, is expressed in the proximal tubule and is an organic anion/dicarboxylate exchanger. However, a second organic anion carrier, Oat3, is also...

City of Vantaa considers constructing a truck parking area and a filling station on a soft clay deposit in Luhtaanmäki, Vantaa (in Finland). The aim of this study was to evaluate whether vacuum preloading with vertical drains is a feasible ground improvement method for the site. Besides in situ –tests and classification tests, overall 18 oedometer tests were carried out. Preliminary design of v...

Salah satu solusi untuk teknik perbaikan tanah di proyek reklamasi belawan phase I adalah dengan Preloading yang melakukan suatu kombinasi Prefabricated Vertical Drain (PVD). Metode ini dipilih karena dianggap efektif dalam mempercepat konsolidasi tanah. Serta mampu mengurangi total waktu diperlukan proses pemadatan oleh preloding. Berkaitan hal tersebut PVD juga dapat beban tambahan dibutuhkan...

The expansion of housing in big cities cannot be denied given the rapid population growth Indonesia. One areas that is currently expanding Kosambi City, Tangerang. Soil conditions City are soft soil with high moisture content and plasticity, low permeability bearing capacity, pore water pressure. This condition makes consolidation decline take a very long time. To overcome problem length time f...

The pressure gradient and the static and the dynamic hold-up have been measured for a system consisting ofa Fluid Cracking Catalyst (FCC) of 30-150 x 10m6 m diameter, trickling over a packed bed and with a gas streaming in countercurrent flow. The experiments were carried out at ambient conditions using a glass column of 25 x 10 ~’ m diameter. The packing material consisted of 8 x 8 x 3 mm cera...
