Among young normotensive men, a reciprocal balance between cardiac output and sympathetic nerve activity is important in the regulation of arterial pressure. In young women, the balance among cardiac output, peripheral resistance, and sympathetic nerve activity is unknown. Consequently, the aim of this study was to examine the relationship of cardiac output and total peripheral resistance to mu...

in biaxially strained p-mosfet with si channel, formation of a parasitic parallel channel due to misalignment of energy bands degrades device performance by increasing off-state current. in this paper a new approach has been introduced to eliminate this parasitic channel by increasing the dopant concentration of virtual substrate up to . using simulation the impact of this method on the parasit...

Twenty-two patients with normal plasma renln and essential hypertension were classified as "salt-sensitive" (SS) (n=9) or "non-salt-sensitive" (NSS) (n=13) from an increase in mean blood pressure with changes in sodium intake from 25 to 250 meq/day. With the high sodium diet, the SS patients gained more weight (/?<0.05), retained more sodium (/><0.05), and had a greater increase in cardiac outp...

We investigated the physiologic effects of normal saline versus 5% albuminated saline fluid resuscitation on 10-12-day-old piglets infected with group B streptococci for four hours. After intravenously receiving 1 X 10(10) bacteria/kg over 45 minutes, one group was untreated while the two fluid-treated groups received enough intravenous fluid to maintain the baseline cardiac output. An increase...

A self-cascading CMOS circuit for operation in weak inversion is presented. The self-cascoding MOSFET circuit has been shown to exhibit greater than twentY:'fold increase in the output resistance, without paying virtually any penalty in real estate and power consumption. The circuit has been used to increase the gain in the front stage of operational amplifiers, and to obtain improved performan...

Guanethidin has been shown by Maxwell et al. (1959) to be a potent antihypertensive agent in dogs, and by Page and Dustan (1959) and Leishman et al. (1959) to be hypotensive in human patients. It selectively inhibits sympathetic activity, probably by blocking postganglionic adrenergic neurones. The intention of this study is to examine the acute effect of guanethidin in patients with increased ...

A simple modification to a standard CMOS Current mirror is presented, whichsignificantly reduces the amount of drain-to-source voltage required across its outputto maintain constant output current. The design uses two additional transistors to replicate the output voltage on the reference transistor, matching both VGS and VDSbetween the devices. The design was demonstrated to re...

Cardiodynamic and hemodynamic reactions to emotion-eliciting film sequences were investigated. Thirty-two healthy subjects (12 women, 20 men) were randomly assigned to one of two groups. In the first group, anger was induced using selected scenes of the film "Ragtime." In the second group, scenes of the film "The Shining" were chosen to elicit fear. A documentary film was used as a baseline sti...

The effects of immersion hypothermia on the systemic and pulmonary circulations were investigated in anesthetized, closed-chest, untreated dogs, cold-adapted dogs and in dogs receiving sympathomimetic and sympatholytic agents. Evidence is presented that both pulmonary and systemic vascular resistances are increased progressively during hypothermia, the former to a greater extent than the latter...
