The entity of "neurogenic hypertension" is defined as arterial hypertension caused explicitly by derangement of the intricate network of the central nervous system. Among 193 cases of cranial rhizopathies operated on between 1984 and 1995 at this center, 5 cases of established arterial hypertension with concomitant rhizopathies also underwent ventrolateral medullary decompression. The elev...

background: substitution of arterial with venous blood samples to estimate blood gas status is highly preferable due to practical and safety concerns. numerous studies support the substitution of arterial by venous blood samples, reporting strong correlations between arterial and venous values. this study further investigated the predictive ability of venous blood samples for arterial acid-base...

Aims: The present study was conducted with the aim of determining the effect of passive movements on hemodynamic parameters, including systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, pulse, and pulse pressure of patients under ventilation. Materials & Method: In this controlled clinical trial, 64 patients under ventilation in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad University of ...

The role of nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) in cardiovascular system regulation is controversial. On the other hand, the problem of hypertension in diabetic animals is the subject of many research programs. The aim of present study was to determine whether inactivation of NTS could affect blood pressure and heart rate in diabetic rats. To this end, stereptozotocin induced diabetic rats were an...

objective(s) calcium-channel blockers have an important role in the treatment of several cardiovascular disorders. derivatives of 1, 4-dihydropyridine are one of the most potent calcium antagonists. in this study four novel ', 4-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers were synthesized and their hypotensive properties were investigated in male rats. materials and methods four 1, 4-dihydrop...

conclusions: the effects of propofol on hemodynamics and arterial oxygen pressure during one- or two-lung ventilation were not different from those of isoflurane. results: sixty patients (mean age = 4124.18 ± 18.63 years) were divided into two groups. the age and gender of the subjects were not statistically different between the two groups. in the propofol group, the arterial oxygen pressure d...

introduction: the bed nucleus stria terminalis (bst) is a part of the limbic system. it was recently shown that chemical stimulation of the bst by l-glutamate elicited cardiovascular depressive responses. in the present study, we have investigated the possible cardiovascular role of the gabaergic receptors in bst by microinjection of its agonist and antagonists. methods: experiments were perfor...

purpose to investigate the effects of a 10-week water aerobic exercise on the resting blood pressure in patients with stage 1 or 2 hypertension referring to tehran university clinics. methods forty men with stage 1 or 2 essential hypertension were assigned to two groups of intervention [n = 12; aged 48.33±10.74 years (mean±sd)] and control [n = 28; aged 46.96±11.58 years (mean±sd)]. subjects in...
