We investigated blood pressure (BP) reactivity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. The influences on BP reactivity of degree of arousal, the lowest O2 saturation (SaO2), and respiratory disturbance (RD) duration were compared. Ten normotensive or borderline hypertensive patients with OSA were studied with one-night poly...

This paper presents a simple matrix form for degree elevation of interval Bezier curve using LegendreBernstein basis transformations. The four fixed Kharitonov's polynomials (four fixed Bezier curves) associated with the original interval Bezier curve are obtained. These four fixed Bezier curves are expressed in terms of the Legendre polynomials. The process of degree elevations r times are app...

intrOdUctiOn Reading EKGs is an integral skill in Emergency Medicine, especially given the fact that determining the presence and amount of ST segment elevation (STE) is one of the key factors to initiating fibrinolytic eligibility. STE is generally measured in reference to the J point (the end of the QRS segment and the beginning of the ST segment). However, it may not be clear in clinical pra...

Eighteen patients with a first AMI, who during the acute ischemic phase did not develop ST segment elevation, but only positive or peaked T waves, are described. Patients who do not develop ST segment elevation during evolving anterior AMI represent a subgroup with a high probability of total obstruction of the LAD artery with retrograde filling via collateral vessels and a small degree of left...

Axonal transport in primate optic nerve axons was studied by autoradiography, scintillation counting, and electron microscopy under conditions of short-term intraocular pressure elevation. With elevation of intraocular pressure to 30 mm. Hg below mean arterial blood pressure, blockage of transport was detected within 2 hours by autoradiography and within 1 hour by electron microscopy. The earli...

Variation in practice regarding pretreatment with dual antiplatelet therapy for patients with non–ST elevation myocardial infarction. Background-—Despite guideline recommendations, a significant number of patients with non–ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) do not receive dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) before angiography " pretreatment. " While there may be valid clinical reasons to ...

By replacing the left ventricle of a dog with an extracorporeul pump, complete failure of the right ventricle (e.g., fibrillation) caused marked elevation of central venous pressure, the degree of elevation being a linear function of left ventricular output. In addition, expansion of the intnivascular volume was required in order to maintain circulation by the left ventricle alone. Edema format...

abstract aim of this research is landslide hazard zoning in syahdare watershed using logistic regression. therefore, outset landslide points recognized using air photography and extensive field studies. then distribution of landslide map was makes. then each effective element on landslide occurred for example slope, aspect, elevation, litho logy, land use, distance of road, distance of drainage...
