1. Infusions of histidine into the carotid arteries of cockerels receiving a histidine-limiting, imbalanced diet caused an increase in food intake, whereas similar infusions into the jugular veins did not. 2. Infusions of lysine into the carotid arteries or jugular veins of young cockerels receiving a balanced, low-protein diet caused decreases in food intake. There was evidence of a more marke...

By JOHN A. CAVINS, SHINPEI KASAKURA, E. DONNALL THOMAS AND JOSEPH W. FERREBEE D OGS lethally exposed to general radiation usually make uneventful recoveries if given prompt infusions of a few billion autologous marrow cells.1’2 Cells for these infusions can be preserved indefinitely at bow temperature in glycerol. ’4 Recent studies suggest that dimethyl-sulphoxide may be preferable to glycerol ...

This paper explores the use of deep learning-based computer vision for real-time monitoring flow in intravenous (IV) infusions. IV infusions are among most common therapies hospitalized patients and, given that both over-infusion and under-infusion can cause severe damages, rate fluid being administered to is very important their safety. The proposed system uses a camera film drip infusion kit ...

We have had this study to evaluate the clinical profile of target-controlled infusion-based anesthesia using remifentanil and propofol. 116 ASA I-II patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LCH) were enrolled. TCI Remifentanil was set at 8 micrograms. L - 1 as target and TCI propofol at 4 mcg/ml throughout the whole procedure. The hemodynamics during induction of anesthesia an...

Results We identified 6 children with AAV treated with rituximab (microscopic polyangeitis, n = 2, granulomatosis with polyangeitis, n = 2, unspecified vasculitis, n = 2). The age at onset ranged from 4 to 16 yrs. Treatment with rituximab consisted in 4 infusions of 375 mg/m; one patient received only 3 infusions. Mean duration of follow-up was 2.65 yrs. All patients achieved clinical remission...

Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) infusions into the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) evoke increases in startle amplitude and increases in anxiety-like behavior in the plus maze. Conversely, intra-BNST infusions of the CGRP antagonist CGRP₈₋₃₇ block unconditioned startle increases produced by fox odor. Here we evaluate the contribution of CGRP signaling in the BNST to the develo...

BACKGROUND The methods of arrangement of combined intravenous parallel infusions using anti-reflux valve (ARV), with and without anti-syphon valve (ASV) that could decrease occlusion alarm delay were investigated. METHODS Occlusion challenge tests were mainly performed as bench experiments of four kinds of multiple parallel infusions (10 ml/h and 50 ml/h infusions), which were connected at th...

Blood pressure, pulse rate, plasma aldosterone (PA), renin, and cortisol were monitored during graded intravenous infusions of prostaglandin A, (PGA,), 0.075-0.6 p%/k% min", alone and superimposed on angiotensin II (A II) administration in fire normal men. The infusions of PGA, did not affect Mood pressure, but did progressively increase tbe pulse rate up to 15.2 ± 2.0 (SEM) beats/ min at the h...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Biological therapy with anti TNF agents requires parenteral administration and in the case of infliximab this involves in hospital treatment. We aimed to prospectively assess the safety and tolerance of infliximab infusion in patients with IBD in a specialized unit adhering to strict standard operation procedures including switch to accelerated 1h infusions. METHODS A pros...
