paper. Clearly through his discussion appears the great entltusiasm which had been developed by Ehrlich's work on salvarsan, an enthusiasm so great that it is stated that contagion can be eliminated "often, indeed, by one single injection and by a treatment requiring but a few days." N-eisser was equally elated over the matter of serodiagnosis and itspossibilities, but it becomes somewhat uncer...

SUMMARY Neurofibromatosis, an autosomal dominant disorder is characterized by showan cell tumor affecting any Part of the body containing such cell, giving rise to appropriate fealture according to the organ involved but the most characteristic clinical aspect of the disease is pripheral or cranial nerve tumors usually associated with cafe au lait spots more than 6 in number and larger than 1....

OBJECTIVES We sought to determine the prevalence of nocturnal oxygen desaturation and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in a population of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). BACKGROUND The coexistence of sleep apnea and HCM, 2 common cardiovascular conditions, has been largely unrecognized in the treatment of patients with HCM. The nocturnal hypoxia-induced hyperadrenergic state in ...

Continuous noninvasive monitoring of oxygenation in premature neonates with respiratory distress is essential to avoid the potential complications of hypoxemia and hyperoxia. The accuracy and reliability of pulse oximetry (using an Ohmeda Biox) was evaluated in 15 premature neonates. Pulse oximetry oxygen saturation readings closely approximated arterial oxygen saturation values analyzed by an ...

Background: Critical congenital heart diseases (CCHDs) are among the most common birth malformations. This study aimed to determine the cardiac and noncardiac diseases in the Iranian healthy newborns using pulse oximetry (POX) as a suggested screening method.Methods: In this cross-sectional study, healthy term and near term neonates who were born from October 2017 to March 2018 were evalu...

reviews of publications dated pre-January 2004, they concluded that further investigation is needed to prove the clinical utility of NIRS in cardiac surgery. In the past few years, there have been new advances in NIRS technology and in clinical studies of cerebral oximetry in adult cardiovascular surgery. This review will focus on these recent developments and our experiences with cerebral oxim...

Pulse oximetry is as a non-invasive photometric technique that provides non-invasively information about the global arterial blood oxygen saturation (SpO2 ) and heart rate, and has widespread clinical applications. This can be made possible via the peripheral pulse oximetry probes mainly attached to the finger, toe or earlobe. However, there is a need for monitoring perfusion on a more regional...

Myocardial ischemia, resulting from imbalance in myocardial oxygen supply and demand, can be quantitatively assessed by positron emission tomography (PET) with absolute measures of myocardial blood flow and oxygen consumption rate (MVO2). Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) has notable advantages over PET, with no radiation, high spatial resolution, faster scan times, and excellent soft tissue con...
