Reversible effects of isoproterenol-induced hypertrophy on in situ left ventricular function in rat hearts. (1/13)
The aim of the present study was to evaluate specifically left ventricular (LV) function in rat hearts as they transition from the normal to hypertrophic state and back to normal. Either isoproterenol (1.2 and 2.4 mg.kg(-1).day(-1) for 3 days; Iso group) or vehicle (saline 24 microl.day(-1) for 3 days; Sa group) was infused by subcutaneous implantation of an osmotic minipump. After verifying the development of cardiac hypertrophy, we recorded continuous LV pressure-volume (P-V) loops of in situ ejecting hypertrophied rat hearts. The curved LV end-systolic P-V relation (ESPVR) and systolic P-V area (PVA) were obtained from a series of LV P-V loops in the Sa and Iso groups 1 h or 2 days after the removal of the osmotic minipump. PVA at midrange LV volume (PVA(mLVV)) was taken as a good index for LV work capability (13, 15, 20, 21). However, in rat hearts during remodeling, whether PVA(mLVV) is a good index for LV work capability has not been determined yet. In the present study, in contrast to unchanged end-systolic pressure at midrange LV volume, PVA(mLVV) was significantly decreased by isoproterenol treatment relative to saline; however, these measurements were the same 2 days after pump removal. Simultaneous treatment with a beta(1)-blocker, metoprolol (24 mg.kg(-1).day(-1)), blocked the formation of cardiac hypertrophy and thus PVA(mLVV) did not decrease. The reversible changes in PVA(mLVV) reflect precisely the changes in LV work capability in isoproterenol-induced hypertrophied rat hearts mediated by beta(1)-receptors. These results indicate that the present approach may be an appropriate strategy for evaluating the effects of antihypertrophic and antifibrotic modalities. (+info)Functional residual capacity measurements in healthy infants: ultrasonic flow meter versus a mass spectrometer. (2/13)
Accurate, reproducible and portable bedside monitoring of lung volume could potentially facilitate the early recognition of both under and overinflation of the lungs in ventilated and nonventilated subjects. This study asked whether a prototype portable ultrasonic flow meter provided valid and reliable measurements of functional residual capacity (FRCUS) when compared to those obtained using a mass spectrometer (FRCMS) in nonventilated healthy infants. Paired, randomised measurements of FRCMS and FRCUS were obtained using the sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) multiple-breath washout technique in 23 healthy infants with a median (range) postnatal age of 34.6 (1.3-92.6) weeks and weight of 8.3 (3.9-11.7) kg. FRCUS was on average 5.7%, (95% CI: 1.0-10.4%) less than FRCMS equating to a difference of approximately 1 mL x kg(-1). The 95% limits of agreement (LA) between the two techniques were relatively wide (95% LA: -17.5% to 29%), although in keeping with previously reported within-patient variability for lung volume measurements. There was no significant difference between the within subject coefficient of variation for FRCMS (3.7%) and FRCUS (5.2%). The ultrasonic flow meter used in this study provides repeatable measurements of functional residual capacity in spontaneously breathing healthy infants that approximate those obtained during mass spectrometry. (+info)Retinal blood flow measurements and neuroretinal rim damage in glaucoma. (3/13)
AIM: To assess retinal blood flow characteristics in subjects with normal tension glaucoma (NTG), primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), and a group of controls using the Heidelberg retina flowmeter (HRF). The vascular parameters were correlated against structural damage of the optic nerve head, assessed using the Heidelberg retina tomograph (HRT). METHODS: HRF images were obtained in 76 subjects with NTG, 58 with POAG, and 38 controls. Optic nerve head images, acquired using the HRT, were analysed with Moorfields Regression Analysis software. The HRF variables, measured adjacent to a rim segment identified as "abnormal," were compared with the vascular parameters of the "normal" rim segments. The HRF parameters of the segments identified as normal in glaucoma subjects were compared with matched control segments. RESULTS: The glaucoma subjects had significantly lower retinal haemodynamics than the control subjects. There were no significant differences in the HRF parameters between the NTG and POAG subjects. The discs that had been identified as having abnormal segments had lower HRF values than those with a corresponding normal segment. The glaucoma subjects with normal rim segments had statistically significant lower velocity, flow, and volume measurements than the controls for each location sampled. CONCLUSION: This study shows a relation between structural damage of the optic nerve head and the level of retinal blood flow. The changes in the circulation could indicate that it may be an early marker of the pathological process. (+info)Retinal arteriolar diameter, blood velocity, and blood flow response to an isocapnic hyperoxic provocation. (4/13)
The aim of this study was to simultaneously quantify the magnitude and response characteristics of retinal arteriolar diameter and blood velocity induced by an isocapnic hyperoxic provocation in a group of clinically normal subjects. The sample comprised 10 subjects (mean age, 25 yr; range, 21-40 yr). Subjects initially breathed air for 5-10 min, then breathed O(2) for 20 min, and then air for a final 10-min period via a sequential rebreathing circuit (Hi-Ox; Viasys) to maintain isocapnia. Retinal arteriolar diameter and blood velocity measurements were simultaneously acquired with a Canon laser blood flowmeter (CLBF-100). The response magnitude, time, and lag of diameter and velocity were calculated. In response to hyperoxic provocation, retinal diameter was reduced from control values of 111.6 (SD 13.1) to 99.8 (SD 10.6; P < 0.001) microm and recovered after withdrawal of hyperoxia. Retinal blood velocity and flow concomitantly declined from control values of 32.2 (SD 6.4) mm/s and 9.4 (SD 2.5) microl/min to 20.7 (SD 3.4) mm/s and 5.1 (SD 1.3) microl/min, respectively (P < 0.001 for both velocity and flow), and recovered after withdrawal of hyperoxia. The response times and response lags were not significantly different for each parameter between effect and recovery or between diameter and velocity. We conclude that arteriolar retinal vascular reactivity to hyperoxic provocation is rapid with a maximal vasoconstrictive effect occurring within a maximum of 4 min. Although there was a trend for diameter to respond before velocity to the isocapnic hyperoxic provocation, the response characteristics were not significantly different between diameter and velocity.

(+info)A flowmeter is a device that measures the volume or mass of a gas or liquid flowing through a pipe or duct. It is often used in medical settings to measure the flow rate of various gases and liquids, such as oxygen, air, and intravenous fluids. There are several types of flowmeters, including rotameters, turbine flowmeters, ultrasonic flowmeters, and mass flowmeters, each with its own specific method for measuring flow rate.
Rotameters, for example, use a weighted float that moves up or down in a tapered tube to indicate the flow rate. Turbine flowmeters use a rotating turbine to measure the volume of fluid flowing through the pipe. Ultrasonic flowmeters use sound waves to measure the velocity of fluids and calculate flow rate, while mass flowmeters directly measure the mass of gas or liquid flowing through the pipe.
Flowmeters are important tools in medical diagnostics, treatment, and research, as they help ensure that patients receive accurate and safe amounts of medication, oxygen, and other vital resources. They can also be used to monitor and regulate the flow of gases and liquids in medical equipment such as ventilators, dialysis machines, and anesthesia systems.
Rheology is not a term that is specific to medicine, but rather it is a term used in the field of physics to describe the flow and deformation of matter. It specifically refers to the study of how materials flow or deform under various stresses or strains. This concept can be applied to various medical fields such as studying the flow properties of blood (hematology), understanding the movement of tissues and organs during surgical procedures, or analyzing the mechanical behavior of biological materials like bones and cartilages.
