Peripheral hemodynamics evaluated by acceleration plethysmography in workers exposed to lead. (1/1109)

To clarify the effect of lead exposure on peripheral hemodynamics, acceleration plethysmography (APG) was performed for 48 male subjects occupationally exposed to lead (exposure group) and 43 male subjects with no history of occupational exposure to lead (control group). In the exposure group, the blood lead concentration (Pb-B) was also measured. Each APG parameter was assessed by comparing measured data with the standard aging curves. A significant negative correlation was obtained between the parameter--b/a and Pb-B. The exposure group showed significantly lower values of parameters--b/a (p < 0.01) and d/a (p < 0.05) than the control group. The parameter--b/a in the exposure group dose-dependently decreased with increases in length of working career (duration of exposure to lead) and Pb-B. The parameter--b/a significantly (p < 0.05) decreased in subjects with working careers of 5 years or more and in subjects whose Pb-B was 40 micrograms/100 ml or more. These results suggest that lead exposure affects peripheral hemodynamics as evaluated by APG.  (+info)

Effect of intensive therapy for heart failure on the vasodilator response to exercise. (2/1109)

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the lower extremity vascular responsiveness to metabolic stimuli in patients with heart failure and to determine whether these responses improve acutely after intensive medical therapy. BACKGROUND: Metabolic regulation of vascular tone is an important determinant of blood flow, and may be abnormal in heart failure. METHODS: The leg blood flow responses were measured in 11 patients with nonedematous class III-IV heart failure before and after inpatient medical therapy and in 10 normal subjects. Venous occlusion plethysmography was used to measure peak blood flow and total hyperemia in the calf after arterial occlusion and also after isotonic ankle exercise. Measurements were repeated following short-term inpatient treatment with vasodilators and diuretics administered to decrease right atrial pressure (18+/-2 to 7+/-1 mm Hg), pulmonary wedge pressure (32+/-3 to 15+/-2 mm Hg), and systemic vascular resistance (1581+/-200 to 938+/-63 dynes.s.cm(-5), all p < 0.02). RESULTS: Leg blood flow at rest, after exercise, and during reactive hyperemia was less in heart failure patients than in control subjects. Resting leg blood flow did not increase significantly after medical therapy, but peak flow after the high level of exercise increased by 59% (p = 0.009). Total hyperemic volume in the recovery period increased by 73% (p = 0.03). Similarly, the peak leg blood flow response to ischemia increased by 88% (p = 0.04), whereas hyperemic volume rose by 98% (p = 0.1). CONCLUSIONS: The calf blood flow responses to metabolic stimuli are blunted in patients with severe heart failure, and improve rapidly with intensive medical therapy.  (+info)

Endothelium-dependent relaxation by acetylcholine is impaired in hypertriglyceridemic humans with normal levels of plasma LDL cholesterol. (3/1109)

OBJECTIVES: Patients with high triglyceride (of which very low density lipoproteins [VLDL] are the main carriers), but with normal low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels, were examined for in vivo endothelium function status. BACKGROUND: Very low density lipoproteins inhibit endothelium-dependent, but not -independent, vasorelaxation in vitro. METHODS: Three groups were studied: 1) healthy volunteers (n = 10; triglyceride 1.24+/-0.14 mmol/liter, LDL cholesterol 2.99+/-0.24 mmol/liter); 2) hypertriglyceridemic (n = 11; triglyceride 6.97+/-1.19 mmol/liter, LDL cholesterol 2.17+/-0.2 mmol/liter, p < 0.05); and 3) hypercholesterolemic (n = 10; triglyceride 2.25+/-0.29 mmol/liter, LDL cholesterol 5.61+/-0.54 mmol/liter; p < 0.05) patients. Vasoactive responses to acetylcholine, sodium nitroprusside, noradrenaline, N(G)-monomethyl-L-arginine and postischemic hyperemia were determined using forearm venous occlusion plethysmography. RESULTS: Responses to acetylcholine (37 microg/min) were significantly dampened both in hypercholesterolemic (% increase in forearm blood flow: 268.2+/-62) and hypertriglyceridemic patients (232.6+/-45.2) when compared with controls (547.8+/-108.9; ANOVA p < 0.05). Responses to sodium nitroprusside (at 1.6 microg/min: controls vs. hypercholesterolemics vs. hypertriglyceridemic: 168.7+/- 25.1 vs. 140.6+/-38.9 vs. 178.5+/-54.5% increase), noradrenaline, N(G)-monomethyl-L-arginine and postischemic hyperemic responses were not different among the groups examined. CONCLUSIONS: Acetylcholine responses are impaired in patients with pathophysiologic levels of plasma triglycerides but normal plasma levels of LDL cholesterol. The impairment observed was comparable to that obtained in hypercholesterolemic patients. We conclude that impaired responses to acetylcholine normally associated with hypercholesterolemia also occur in hypertriglyceridemia. These findings identify a potential mechanism by which high plasma triglyceride levels may be atherogenic independent of LDL cholesterol levels.  (+info)

Endothelial dysfunction, impaired endogenous fibrinolysis, and cigarette smoking: a mechanism for arterial thrombosis and myocardial infarction. (4/1109)

BACKGROUND: Effective endogenous fibrinolysis requires rapid release of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) from the vascular endothelium. Smoking is a known risk factor for arterial thrombosis and myocardial infarction, and it causes endothelial dysfunction. We therefore examined the effects of cigarette smoking on substance P-induced tPA release in vivo in humans. METHODS AND RESULTS: Blood flow and plasma fibrinolytic factors were measured in both forearms of 12 smokers and 12 age- and sex-matched nonsmokers who received unilateral brachial artery infusions of substance P (2 to 8 pmol/min). In both smokers and nonsmokers, substance P caused dose-dependent increases in blood flow and local release of plasma tPA antigen and activity (P<0.001 for all) but had no effect on the local release of plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1. Compared with nonsmokers, increases in forearm blood flow (P=0.03) and release of tPA antigen (P=0.04) and activity (P<0.001) caused by substance P were reduced in smokers. The area under the curve for release of tPA antigen and activity decreased by 51% and 53%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Cigarette smoking causes marked inhibition of substance P-induced tPA release in vivo in humans. This provides an important mechanism whereby endothelial dysfunction may increase the risk of atherothrombosis through a reduction in the acute fibrinolytic capacity.  (+info)

Comparison of two new methods for the measurement of lung volumes with two standard methods. (5/1109)

BACKGROUND: The two most commonly used methods for the measurement of lung volumes are helium dilution and body plethysmography. Two methods have been developed which are both easier and less time consuming to perform. Mathematical modelling uses complex calculations from the flow-volume loop to derive total lung capacity (TLC), and the nitrogen balance technique uses nitrogen from the atmosphere to calculate lung volume in a similar way to helium dilution. This study was designed to compare the two new methods with the two standard methods. METHODS: Sixty one subjects were studied, 23 with normal lung function, 17 with restrictive airway disease, and 21 with obstructive ventilatory defects. Each subject underwent repeated measurements of TLC by each of the four methods in random order. Reproducible values were obtained for each method according to BTS/ARTP guidelines. Bland-Altman plots were constructed for comparisons between the methods and paired t tests were used to assess differences in means. RESULTS: Bland-Altman plots showed that the differences between body plethysmography and helium dilution fell into clinically acceptable ranges (agreement limits +/-0.9 l). The agreement between mathematical modelling or the nitrogen balance technique and helium dilution or body plethysmography was poor (+/-1.8-3.4 l), especially for subjects with airflow obstruction. CONCLUSIONS: Neither of the new methods agrees sufficiently with standard methods to be useful in a clinical setting.  (+info)

Physiologic basis and interpretation of common indices of respiratory mechanical function. (6/1109)

Tests of pulmonary mechanical function may be used in determining the prominent site of pulmonary reaction to intervention. Responses may be localized from a knowledge of changes in lung resistance and compliance. A peripheral airway or parenchymal response is characterized by a decrease in lung compliance. A central airway reaction is characterized by an increase in pulmonary resistance. In mixed reactions both parameters may change. In this communication some of the physiologic determinants of pulmonary resistance and compliance are discussed and examples of localized responses given.  (+info)

Contribution of nitric oxide to beta2-adrenoceptor mediated vasodilatation in human forearm arterial vasculature. (7/1109)

AIMS: beta2-adrenoceptor agonists are generally considered to produce endothelium independent vasodilatation through adenylate cyclase. We determined whether nitric oxide contributes to beta2-adrenoceptor vasodilatation in human arterial vasculature. METHODS: Forearm blood flow responses to brachial intra-arterial infusions of ritodrine (2.5-50 microg min(-1)), a selective beta2-adrenoceptor agonist, were determined in 24 healthy, normotensive subjects (mean age 22 years, 5F) on two occasions with initial and concomitant administration of L-NMMA (800 microg min(-1)), an NO synthase inhibitor, or noradrenaline (5-30 ng min(-1)), a control constrictor not affecting basal NO activity. Responses to the endothelium dependent vasodilator scrotonin (n = 6) and an endothelium independent vasodilator GTN (n = 9) were also determined. RESULTS: Maximal dilatation to ritodrine during L-NMMA infusion (310+/-32%; mean+/-s.e.mean) was reduced compared to that during noradrenaline infusion (417+/-41%, P<0.05), as were summary responses (1023+/-101 vs 1415+/-130; P<0.05). Responses to GTN were unaffected by L-NMMA compared to noradrenaline; max 177+/-26 vs 169+/-20%, 95% CI for difference -33,48; P=0.68; summary response 361+/-51 vs 396+/-37, 95% CI -142,71; P=0.46. Dilator responses to serotonin were reduced by L-NMMA; max 64+/-20 vs 163+/-26%, P<0.01; summary response 129+/-36 vs 293+/-60; P<0.05) and to a greater extent than ritodrine (58+/-7 vs 25+/-14%, P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: beta2-adrenoceptor mediated vasodilatation in the human forearm has an NO mediated component. The underlying mechanism for this effect is unclear, but flow mediated vasodilatation is unlikely to be responsible.  (+info)

BACKGROUND: Hypertensive patients are characterized by development of both left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and endothelial dysfunction METHODS AND RESULTS: We enrolled 65 never-treated hypertensive patients (36 men and 29 women aged 45.6+/-6.0 years) to assess the possible relationship between echocardiographic left ventricular mass (LVM) and endothelium-dependent vasodilation. Left ventricular measurements were performed at end diastole and end systole according to the recommendations of the American Society of Echocardiography and the Penn Convention. LVM was calculated with the Devereux formula and indexed by body surface area and height raised to the 2.7th power. The endothelial function was tested as responses of forearm vasculature to acetylcholine (ACh), an endothelium-dependent vasodilator (7.5, 15, and 30 microg. mL-1. min-1, each for 5 minutes), and sodium nitroprusside (SNP), an endothelium-independent vasodilator (0.8, 1.6, and 3.2 microg. mL-1. min-1, each for 5 minutes). Drugs were infused into the brachial artery, and forearm blood flow (FBF) was measured by strain-gauge plethysmography. A negative significant relationship between indexed LVM and peak of increase in FBF was found during ACh infusions (r=-0. 554; P<0.0001). In addition, hypertrophic patients had a significantly lower responsive to ACh than patients without LVH (the peak increase in FBF was 9.9+/-3.7 versus 16.1+/-8.1 mL per 100 mL of tissue per minute; P<0.0001). No significant correlation was observed between LVM and FBF during SNP infusion. CONCLUSIONS: Our data provide the first evidence that echocardiographic LVM in hypertensive patients is inversely related to FBF responses to the endothelium-dependent vasodilating agent ACh, but it is likely that both endothelium and LVM are damaged by hypertension.  (+info)

pneuRIPTM: A Novel Respiratory Inductance Plethysmography Monitor | Journal of Medical Devices | ASME DCpneuRIPTM: A Novel Respiratory Inductance Plethysmography Monitor | Journal of Medical Devices | ASME DC
Objective pulmonary function (PF) evaluation is essential for the diagnosis, monitoring, and management of many pediatric respiratory diseases as seen in the emergency room, intensive care, and outpatient settings. In this paper, the development and testing of a new noninvasive PF instrument, pneuRIPTM, which utilizes respiratory inductance plethysmography (RIP) are discussed. The pneuRIPTM hardware includes a small circuit board that connects to the RIP bands and measures and wirelessly transmits the band inductance data to any designated wirelessly connected tablet. The software provides indices of respiratory work presented instantaneously in a user-friendly graphical user interface on the tablet. The system was tested with ten normal children and compared with an existing system, Respitrace (Sensormedics, Yorba Linda, CA), under normal and loaded breathing conditions. Under normal breathing, the percentage differences between the two systems were 2.9% for labored breathing index (LBI), 31.8% ...

Respiratory inductance plethysmography - WikipediaRespiratory inductance plethysmography - Wikipedia
Respiratory inductance plethysmography (RIP) is a method of evaluating pulmonary ventilation by measuring the movement of the chest and abdominal wall. Accurate measurement of pulmonary ventilation or breathing often requires the use of devices such as masks or mouthpieces coupled to the airway opening. These devices are often both encumbering and invasive, and thus ill suited for continuous or ambulatory measurements. As an alternative RIP devices that sense respiratory excursions at the body surface can be used to measure pulmonary ventilation. According to a paper by Konno and Mead the chest can be looked upon as a system of two compartments with only one degree of freedom each. Therefore, any volume change of the abdomen must be equal and opposite to that of the rib cage. The paper suggests that the volume change is close to being linearly related to changes in antero-posterior (front to back of body) diameter. When a known air volume is inhaled and measured with a spirometer, a ...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of different positive end expiratory pressures (PEEP) on functional hemodynamic parameters in patients lying in prone position during operation under general anesthesia.. METHODS: Totally 60 patients undergoing cervical vertebra operation or lumbar vertebra operation were studied. All patients were also monitored with Vigileo／FloTrac system. The functional hemodynamic parameters including stroke volume variation (SVV), pulse pressure variation (PPV), and pleth variability index (PVI) under PEEP levels of 0 mmHg, 5 mmHg, 10 mmHg, and 15 mmHg were recorded before and after volume expansion (hydroxyethyl starch 6%,7 ml/kg). Fluid responsiveness was defined as an increase in stroke volume index (SVI) ≥ 15%(△SVI ≥ 15%). Responders were defined as patients demonstrating an increase in SVI ≥ 15% after intravascular volume expansion and non-responders as patients whose SVI changed ,15%.

Air displacement plethysmography - WikipediaAir displacement plethysmography - Wikipedia
With air-displacement plethysmography, the volume of an object is measured indirectly by determining the volume of air it displaces inside an enclosed chamber (plethysmograph). Thus, human body volume is measured when a subject sits inside the chamber and displaces a volume of air equal to his or her body volume. Body volume is calculated indirectly by subtracting the volume of air remaining inside the chamber when the subject is inside from the volume of air in the chamber when it is empty. The volume of air inside the chamber is calculated by slightly changing the size of the chamber (e.g. by moving a diaphragm in one of the walls) and applying relevant physical gas laws to determine the total volume from the changing air pressure within the chamber as its size is altered. Boyles law states that at a constant temperature, volume (V) and pressure (P) are inversely related. Therefore, when a constant temperature is maintained (isothermal conditions), Boyles law can be applied. Consequently, ...

Polysomnography - WikipediaPolysomnography - Wikipedia
A polysomnogram will typically record a minimum of 12 channels requiring a minimum of 22 wire attachments to the patient. These channels vary in every lab and may be adapted to meet the doctors requests. There is a minimum of three channels for the EEG, one or two measure airflow, one or two are for chin muscle tone, one or more for leg movements, two for eye movements (EOG), one or two for heart rate and rhythm, one for oxygen saturation, and one each for the belts, which measure chest wall movement and upper abdominal wall movement. The movement of the belts is typically measured with piezoelectric sensors or respiratory inductance plethysmography. This movement is equated to effort and produces a low-frequency sinusoidal waveform as the patient inhales and exhales. Because movement is equated to effort, this system of measurement can produce false negatives. It is possible, especially during obstructive apneas, for effort to be made without measurable movement. Wires for each channel of ...

Thoracoabdominal asynchrony (TAA) is defined as the no coincident motion of ribcage (RC) and abdomen (AB) and considered as relevant clinically. TAA has been estimated through respiratory inductive plethysmography (RIP) and, more recently, optoelectronic plethysmography (OEP). However, the agreement of TAA measurements with both RIP and OEP remains unknown. OBJECTIVE: To compare TAA values during inspiration via OEP and RIP. METHODS: 8 healthy subjects (4 male, 34.2±8.7yrs and FEV1 91.8±7.2%pred) performed 2 cycle ergometer sessions with 30 minutes between them in a random order. TAA was evaluated in different phases of exercise, 3 minutes of each one: at rest, 40% (L40), 60% (L60) and 80% (L80) of maximal workload obtained in a previous day. TAA was calculated between RC (upper RC in OEP) and AB through phase angle using the Lissajous approach (Agostini and Mognoni, 1966). The flow at the mouth was assessed with a pneumotacograph. It was analyzed a mean cycle of 5 last breaths of every phase. ...

Non Invasive Methods to Guide Volume Optimization - Full Text View - ClinicalTrials.govNon Invasive Methods to Guide Volume Optimization - Full Text View - ClinicalTrials.gov
Goal directed volume therapy means that bolus doses of 150-250 ml colloid fluid is administered to the patient during contemporary measurement of the patients stroke volume. The fluid status is considered optimized when stroke volume no longer increases with more than 10%, indicating that the patient is close to the top of the Frank-Starling curve. Several studies show that volume optimization reduces hospital stay and reduces the amount of surgical complications. The overall purpose is to investigate if the much more simple non invasive technique Pleth Variability Index can replace oesophageal doppler to guide volume therapy in routine health care, and to analyse if a volume kinetic test can be used to evaluate hypovolemia before surgery and make specific rehydration possible by analysing the correlation between this test and fluid optimization using stroke volume measurements..

In this paper is proposed a methodology to properly determine the leakage and magnetizing inductance of a single-phase high-frequency coaxial transformer. Both, leakage and magnetizing inductance equations are determined considering the transformer dimensions, the ferromagnetic characteristics, and the number of turners. Finite element methods (FEM) and a low scale prototype are also used to validate the equations. The results show that the leakage and magnetizing inductances can be precisely calculated with an error lower than 5% and 3%, respectively.

1. Day and night arterial oxygen saturation (Sao2) has been measured in forty-one patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), mean FEV1 0.84 (range 0.4-1.4) litres, and with a range of daytime Sao2 values of 67-95%.. 2. The mean and biggest falls in Sao2 at night were much greater in the patients with lower daytime saturations. However, when falls in arterial oxygen tension (Pao2) were estimated from the decreases in Sao2, there was no correlation between the estimated biggest fall in Pao2 and daytime Sao2 and only a weak correlation between estimated mean fall in Pao2 and daytime Sao2.. 3. Measurement of ventilation in four hypoxaemic patients with COPD (range 60-90% Sao2) by respiratory inductance plethysmography showed that nocturnal hypoxaemic dips were accompanied by diminished ventilation, which was not always shown by nasal thermistors.. 4. Because nocturnal hypoxaemic dips are transient the ideal alveolar-arterial oxygen difference, which assumes a constant respiratory ...

Body composition of parents and their infants : methodological, anthropometric, metabolic and genetic studiesBody composition of parents and their infants : methodological, anthropometric, metabolic and genetic studies
Body composition in infancy may be of importance for later health. In particular, infant body composition may be relevant regarding obesity risk in childhood. Recent advances in body composition methodology using air displacement plethysmography (ADP) have provided possibilities to accurately measure body composition of infants in a quick and non-invasive manner. The aims of this thesis were to study associations of parental body composition using ADP, glucose homeostasis during pregnancy and infant genetics with infant body composition also using ADP. When using ADP in adults, a correction for the thoracic gas volume (TGV) is needed and TGV can be predicted using equations developed in nonpregnant adults. Thus another aim was to study the validity of using such equations during pregnancy.. Parent couples were invited to this study at a routine visit to a maternity clinic in Linköping between September 2008 and October 2010. When the mother was in gestational week 32, parental body composition ...

Factors differentiating women at highest risk of progression to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) after gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are incompletely known. Our aim was to characterize adipose tissue and body composition in relation to glucose metabolism in women with a history of GDM and to identify factors associated with development of T2DM. We examined glucose tolerance (OGTT), insulin sensitivity (HOMA-IR), body composition (anthropometry, air displacement plethysmography), and blood chemistry in 39 women 6 years after GDM. An adipose tissue biopsy was obtained to assess the size, number, and lipolytic activity of adipocytes, and adipokine release and density of immune cells and blood vessels in adipose tissue. Normal glucose tolerance (NGT) was identified in 31 women and impaired glucose metabolism (IGM) in 8. Women with IGM had higher BMI/fat mass, and related expected adipose tissue features, than women with NGT. Ethnicity was similar in the groups, but numerically there was a ...

Forearm and calf blood flow will be measured independently by venous occlusion plethysmography using mercury-in-silastic strain gauges. Plethysmographic measurements will be made at rest and following 5 minutes of ischemia (reactive hyperemia) of the distal limb (forearm and calf). Peak blood flow will be determined as the highest flow recorded during the post deflation period. Total blood flow will be measured as the area under the time-curve after resting flow is subtracted. Vascular conductance will be calculated using blood flow/mean arterial pressure (via finger plethysmograph ...

Tidal breathing patterns derived from structured light plethysmography | MDERTidal breathing patterns derived from structured light plethysmography | MDER
Tidal breathing patterns derived from structured light plethysmography in COPD patients compared with healthy subjects Shayan Motamedi-Fakhr,1 Rachel C Wilson,1 Richard Iles2 1PneumaCare Ltd, Ely, UK; 2Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Cambridge, UK Purpose: Differences in tidal breathing patterns have been reported between patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and healthy individuals using traditional measurement techniques. This feasibility study examined whether structured light plethysmography (SLP) - a noncontact, light-based technique - could also detect differences in tidal breathing patterns between patients with COPD and healthy subjects. Patients and methods: A 5 min period of tidal (quiet) breathing was recorded in each patient with COPD (n=31) and each healthy subject (n=31), matched for age, body mass index, and sex. For every participant, the median and interquartile range (IQR; denoting within-subject variability) of 12 tidal breathing parameters

On the fourth day of both treatment periods, forearm blood flow (FBF) was assessed by venous occlusion strain gauge plethysmography. A time schedule of these flow assessments is provided in Figure 2. All experiments were performed in the morning after an overnight fast in a temperature-controlled room (23°C), with the subjects in a supine position. If needed, dose adjustments of hypoglycemic agents were recommended during the evening and early morning before the assessments. Capillary glucose levels were monitored. The brachial artery of the nondominant arm was cannulated with a 27-gauge needle (kindly supplied by B. Braun Medical BV, Oss, the Netherlands) for intraarterial administration of saline, acetylcholine (Miochol, Thea Pharma NV, Zoetermeer, the Netherlands), and nitroglycerine (Nitropohl, Pohl-Boskamp, Hoofddorp, the Netherlands). FBF was assessed during the successive administration of 3 increasing doses of acetylcholine (0.5, 2, and 8 μg/min per dL of forearm tissue) and ...

Breathing retraining (BR) improves symptoms, psychological well-being and quality of life in adults with asthma; but there remains uncertainty as to mechanism of effect. One of the intuitively logical theories is that BR works through altering breathing pattern. There is currently no evidence, however, that BR does result in measurable changes in breathing pattern. In this case report we describe the effects of physiotherapy BR on a 57-year-old female with a 10-year history of asthma. Data were collected before and after a physiotherapy BR program comprising three sessions over 18 weeks: breathing pattern (respiratory inductive plethysmography (RIP); physiology (end tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2), heart rate, oxygen saturations, spirometric lung function); questionnaires (Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Score, Nijmegen Questionnaire); and medication usage ...

The glomerular injury of preeclampsia manifests as a clinical triad, namely, hypertension, albuminuria, and a loss of intrinsic filtration capacity that lowers the GFR. Although we estimate that filtration capacity, as approximated by an ultrafiltration coefficient (Kf), is depressed by ,50% at the end of pregnancy (postpartum day 1, Table 3), this phenomenon is not widely recognized by clinicians. This is because GFR depression in clinical practice is identified by the presence of azotemia. The absence of overt azotemia (usually defined in women as serum creatinine ,1.2 mg/dl) in preeclamptic mothers during postpartum weeks 1 and 2 obscured the extent to which GFR and computed Kf were depressed in these subjects compared with healthy gravid control subjects.. We examined glomerular structure and ultrastructure in those subjects of the present report who were studied on day 1. We undertook a morphometric analysis of transmission and scanning electron photomicrographs (13). We showed that reduced ...

ATP-mediated Vasodilatation Occurs via Activation of Inwardly-Rectifyi by Anne R. Crecelius, Brett S. Kirby et al.ATP-mediated Vasodilatation Occurs via Activation of Inwardly-Rectifyi by Anne R. Crecelius, Brett S. Kirby et al.
Circulating ATP possesses unique vasomotor properties in humans and has been hypothesized to play a role in vascular control under a variety of physiological conditions. However, the primary downstream signalling mechanisms underlying ATP-mediated vasodilatation remain unclear. The purpose of the present experiment was to determine whether ATP-mediated vasodilatation is independent of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin (PG) synthesis and occurs primarily via the activation of Na+/K+-ATPase and inwardly rectifying potassium (KIR) channels in humans. In all protocols, young healthy adults were studied and forearm vascular conductance (FVC) was calculated from forearm blood flow (measured via venous occlusion plethysmography) and intra-arterial blood pressure to quantify local vasodilatation. Vasodilator responses (%ΔFVC) during intra-arterial ATP infusions were unchanged following combined inhibition of NO and PGs (n= 8; P | 0.05) whereas the responses to KCl were greater (P | 0.05).

Normals and StandingNormals and Standing
Measurements In Normal Males and Response To Standing: This study included 58 subjects, age = 29 ± 9 years. Findings include: The best method for normalizing pulse volume and flow measurements to account for the physical size of the subject (i.e. that method which produced the smallest standard deviation of the measurements) is to divide pulse volume by limb segment length, thus producing a measurement in microliters per cm (equal to the average change in the cross sectional area of the measured limb).. The 95% confidence limits of right calf pulse volume (two-tailed method) is 20-54 microliters/cm. Thus there is a normal range of pulse volume measurements with which new patients may be compared.. Standing produces venous pooling that decreases cardiac output. This, in turn, produces reflex vasoconstriction. These changes are similar to those seen in impend-ing hypovolemic shock. Standing up caused a very consistent and large (33% ± 0.8%) decrease in calf pulse volume (p,0.0005).. ...

Relationship between Key Variables in Penile Plethysmograph and Viewin by Lisa Loewinger CloydRelationship between Key Variables in Penile Plethysmograph and Viewin by Lisa Loewinger Cloyd
Penile plethysmography is amongst the best measures for prediction of sexual recidivism and has been extensively researched. However, there are a variety of criticisms regarding use of penile plethysmography (PPG), including financial investment, significant training needs, lack of standardization, intrusive nature of the measure, extensive time for testing, and inability to use PPG with all groups of sexual offenders (e.g., women and adolescents). Viewing time has been studied, though not as extensively as PPG, regarding detection of sexual interest. This study examined the relationship between Monarch 21 PPG and Affinity viewing time variables, including responses to individual stimuli, a sex deviance differential, and a sex deviance ratio. It was predicted that there would be a significant positive correlation between key variables of the Monarch 21 PPG and Affinity. Overall, the associations found between the Monarch 21 PPG and the Affinity were significant, although the magnitudes of the

The behavior of the relative pulse volume in the forearm during attacks of coronary pain was examined in 10 cases.During coronary pain, the relative pulse volume in the left forearm was significantly reduced. After subsidence of pain, the relative pulse volume returned to normal. These observations seemto indicate that the pathogenesis of pain in the upper left extremity is related toreduced blood flow in this limb.

Diaphragm compressor is widely used for hydrogen compression because it achieves high gas pressure without gas contamination. Diaphragm deflecting in the cavity with high pressure formed by an oil compression is the most important component in the compressor. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain deflection degree of diaphragm to predict the damage point of diaphragm. The objective of this study is to estimate the diaphragms damage point through diaphragm deflection test by implementing with strain gauges attached on several radial points. Without gas compression, strain sum of each points varied as similarly as the variation of the pressure with respect to time. And while the motor speed was slower than 400rpm, the strain near the rim was larger than that of the center. When motor speed, however, was over 500rpm, strain became similar to that of the center and the rim. With gas compression, it was shown that the variation of the strain sum was delayed against that of the pressure and the strain ...

  • TLC was obtained by plethysmography as per American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society standards and by HRCT using custom software on 0.75 and 5 mm thick contiguous slices performed at full inspiration (TLC). (dovepress.com)
  • Objectives: Body plethysmography is a lung function testing method usually applied for determination of thoracic gas volume and airways resistance, but option to measure work of breathing is available in most models. (omicsonline.org)
Assess2
  • MCh) using unrestrained whole-body plethysmography and assess the ability of the immune system to mount an acquired Type I allergic hypersensitivity immune response (allergic airway disease). (mousephenotype.org)
  • For these reasons, there are situations in which many investigators choose to use the more traditional method of tail‐cuff plethysmography to either establish the blood pressure phenotype of a strain of mice or to assess the effects on blood pressure of an experimental intervention. (ahajournals.org)
Computed tomography1
  • To characterize and compare total lung capacity (TLC) measured by plethysmography with high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), and to identify variables that predict the difference between the two modalities. (dovepress.com)
Arteriography1
  • Plethysmography may be done for very ill people who cannot travel to the arteriography lab. (medlineplus.gov)
Volume7
  • RIP is the most frequently used, established and accurate plethysmography method to estimate lung volume from respiratory movements. (wikipedia.org)
  • Plethysmography is used to measure changes in volume in different parts of the body. (medlineplus.gov)
  • Both sensors demonstrated sensitivity to changes in pulse volume (plethysmography). (mdpi.com)
  • Plethysmography is measuring the volume or the volume change of organs, limbs or the entire body. (firsthealthguide.com)
  • The Body Plethysmography, technique, also called "body box", is increasingly used in clinical practice because of better-controlled circumstances and the possibility to measure a greater number of more sensitive dynamic lung volumes than only FEV1 or vital capacity, but also parameters as Residual Volume (RV), oscillometry, Diffusion Capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) and Airway Resistance. (sgs.com)
  • Since this term is too nonspecific, it is recommended that its use should be discontinued and replaced with more specific terminology, for example, plethysmographic lung volume (abbreviated at V L,pleth ), and FRC by body plethysmography or TGV at FRC (FRC pleth ). (ersjournals.com)
  • In these studies, the parameters of respiratory rate, tidal volume, and minute volume were measured using whole-body plethysmography in rats administered GHB. (aspetjournals.org)
Detection2
  • At all-time points, females injected with fibrils exhibited reduced odor detection sensitivity, which was observed with the semi-automated plethysmography apparatus, but not a buried pellet test. (nature.com)
  • In antiviral studies, the use of plethysmography resulted in the detection of a clear and rapid treatment response, which was similar to other non-invasive parameters, such as weight change. (usu.edu)
COPD2
  • This feasibility study examined whether structured light plethysmography (SLP) - a noncontact, light-based technique - could also detect differences in tidal breathing patterns between patients with COPD and healthy subjects. (dovepress.com)
  • In COPD, TLC by plethysmography can be up to 2 L greater than inspiratory HRCT. (dovepress.com)
Sensitivity1
  • Due to its sensitivity, the plethysmography system provides accurate data that can further be used for other studies such as those concerning cardiac oscillations. (advanceseng.com)
Blood3
  • Does Tail‐Cuff Plethysmography Provide a Reliable Estimate of Central Blood Pressure in Mice? (ahajournals.org)
  • The PO2-100U Pulse Oximeter and Plethysmograph Sensor measures blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse pressure (plethysmography) using a non-invasive, dual-wavelength light transmittance based finger clip. (ophthalmologymanagement.com)
  • The term 'plethysmography' is derived from the Latin word plethora (full-bloodedness, blood overload) and the Greek word graphein (writing, drawing). (firsthealthguide.com)
Methodologies1
  • Plethysmography is a technique for measuring lung function that includes invasive and non-invasive methodologies. (monash.edu)
Indices1
  • Conclusions: We have demonstrated that plethysmography can be a primary indicator of the development of respiratory disease in the mouse and would thus be suitable in assessing potential therapies since any truly effective treatment should elicit restoration of respiratory parameters in addition to improving traditional biochemical and histological indices of lung function. (monash.edu)
Evaluate1
  • Plethysmography is used to evaluate symptoms of the upper respiratory tract, such as pain or discomfort during breathing, shortness of breath or the feeling of not getting enough air. (firsthealthguide.com)
