The effects of methanolic and aqueous extracts of Tribulus terrestris on rat blood pressure (BP) and the perfused mesenteric vascular bed were investigated. The extracts dose-dependently reduced BP in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) with the aqueous fraction being more potent than the methanolic fraction at all doses tested. In vitro, the methanolic but not aqueous extract produced a dos...

when he was drawing water from a well, he felt the rupture descend, and tried to put it back but without success. A village barber was then sent for, who inoistcupped the swelling ; almost immediately after this the symptoms of strangulation set in. Seeing him getting worse, his friends brought him to hospital. On admission, the right inguinal canal was found to be occupied by a tense swelling ...

Condition on admission.?Temperature?98.2?F., respiration 24 and pulse 82 per minute. Volume?not good. Extremities?cold. Malsena once in my presence. Abdomen moving with respiration. Slight...

The effects of the purines, adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) and guanosine 5'-triphosphate (GTP), and the pyrimidines, uridine 5'-triphosphate (UTP), cytidine 5'-triphosphate (CTP), and thymidine 5'-triphosphate (TTP), on vascular resistance were investigated in the rat mesenteric arterial bed. In preparations at basal tone, these agents produced dose-related vasoconstriction with a potency orde...

Techniques are described to study the hepatic vascular bed in the anesthetized cat without interference with the hepatic artery or portal vein. Liver volume was recorded with a plethysmograph while simultaneous recordings were made of arterial and portal pressures and total hepatic blood flow. Hepatic venous pressure could be raised to any desired level, and capillary filtration coefficients co...

OBJECTIVE The study aimed to evaluate the effects of putting a sandbag on femoral access site after cardiac invasive procedure and changing patients' position in bed on vascular complications rate and the severity of back pain related to the duration of bed rest after procedure. METHODS This randomized controlled study included 169 patients divided into five different groups assigned randomly...

OBJECTIVES To examine the influence of the two following factors on the proportion of time that nurses spend in a forward-bending trunk posture: (i) the bed height during basic care activities at the bedside and (ii) the work method during basic care activities in the bathroom. A further aim was to examine the connection between the proportion of time spent in a forward-bending posture and the ...

BACKGROUND Concerns have been raised about the safety of split-side bed rails for patients in the UK. OBJECTIVES To investigate whether split-side rails were more likely to be associated with entrapment and injury of patients than other bed rail types. To establish whether there was a difference in the site of injury caused by different bed rail types and whether the outcome of the injury (de...

The present experiment was conducted under ongoing ‘All India Coordinated Research Project’ (AICRP) for Dry land Agriculture at College of Agriculture, Indore to study the effect configuration, seed rates and variety on growth yield soybean in Central India. carried out with 03 main plot treatments (03 configurations i.e. L1- Flat sowing-45 cm, L2- Raised bed 90 cm 3 Rows bed-1 L3- 60 2 bed-1) ...

the presence of particles in liquid-solid fluidized beds enhances the bed heat transfer, because the movement of the particles leads to an increased turbulence in the system. moreover, the violent movement of the particles has a positive effect on fouling of the heat transfer surface. the aim of this investigation was to perform systematic measurements of bed voidage and heat transfer coefficie...
