In a hypertensive patient with orthostatic hypotension, the changes in several haemodynamic indices with respect to posture were evaluated. In the upright position, systemic blood pressure was reduced as compared with the supine position, and peripheral vasodilation was present, as shown by an increase in Jantsch's index of the impedance plethysmographic tracings. Systolic time intervals remain...

INTRODUCTION The symptoms associated with chronic peripheral vestibulopathy exert a negative impact on the independence and quality of life of these individuals, and many individuals continue to suffer from these symptoms even after conventional vestibular rehabilitation. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the acute effect of an anchor system for balance evaluation of patients with chronic dizziness who f...

Researchers and clinicians have explored an understanding movement and function for many years (Comerford & Mottram 2001a, Hodges 1999, Janda 1994, Jull 2000, O’Sullivan et al. 1997, Richardson et al. 1999, Sahrmann 2001). Identifying and correcting stability dysfunction is an important component in managing musculoskeletal pain problems and in recent years this has been well documented in the ...

BACKGROUND It is generally accepted that peritoneal dialysis (PD) affects systemic haemodynamics less than haemodialysis, but little is known about changes in haemodynamics during PD. It is unknown if increasing PD volume causes changes in cardiovascular haemodynamics possibly increasing the demand on the heart even during normal daily activities. METHODS Fifteen stable PD patients were inclu...

The author analyzes the referential function of three Polish lexemes: taki , jeden i ktory whose approximative English equivalents are: such one and which. They have not central, but rather a peripheral position in set, nonetheless their participation processes identification objects mentioned concrete text deserves comprehensive description.

The present study sets out to investigate whether the position of literary works in the English literary polysystem influences the Iranian translators’ translational behavior at the textual level. Given the prominent position of canon and bestseller novels in English literary polysystem, the study intends to find out whether the translators of canon and bestseller novels are faithful to theirso...

There is now evidence that the response of the peripheral resistance to acute changes in the stroke output of the heart is determined by baroceptor reflexes, since it has been shown in cats (Ead et al., 1952) and in man (Sharpey-Schafer, 1953) that these receptors respond to arterial pulse pressure as well as mean pressure changes. In normal man when the effective filling pressure of the heart ...

traumatic peripheral nerve injuries are among most important cause of physical disability among young adults. most partial injuries and some complete injuries recover without operative intervention, with early return of function appearing to be the most significant prognostic factor in these cases. return of function over time depends to a great extent on the underlying neuropathologic conditio...

Precise peripheral ocular measurements have become important in vision research. These measurements are influenced by the shape and position of the peripherally observed entrance pupil. A long-held assumption is that its apparent shape is elliptical and is optically centered in its position. Our three-dimensional model shows that as viewing angle increases, the entrance pupil moves forward, til...
