To evaluate the effectiveness of traditional Chinese herbal Xinglouchengqi (XLCQ) decoction for the treatment of constipation in acute ischemic stroke patients, and figure out the role that bowel movements play in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke.A To investigate the efficacy and safety of Xinglouchengqi (XLCQ) decoction in treatment of acute ischemic stroke with constipation.In this prospective, multicenter, assessor-blinded, randomized controlled trial, 360 eligible participants will be randomized The authors analyse the results of studying intracranial (subdural) pressure during and after glymarite (a solution of glycerin and mannitol) injection in patients who were subjected to operations for intracranial hematomas and aneurysms of the brain. Forty patients were examined. It was found that
The case history of a sixty two years old patient is presented by the authors. The patient with an artificial mitral valve was admitted to the hospital because of sudden onset of left sided hemiparesis. The cerebrovascular accident which occurred because of a cerebral embolus as well as the heart
OBJECTIVE
This paper describes the development and standardization of a profilometry-based method for assessment of dentifrice abrasivity called Radioactive Dentin Abrasivity - Profilometry Equivalent (RDA-PE).
METHODS
Human dentine substrates are mounted in acrylic blocks of precise standardized
Some Bosmina water flea species develop morphological antipredatory defenses, such as long antennules and a high carapace, but in Bosmina (Eubosmina) coregoni gibbera these traits are larger and more variable in females than in males. Here we propose that this sexual dimorphism derives from
Intestinal pseudo-obstruction is a massive colonic dilation with signs and symptoms of colonic obstruction, but without a mechanical cause. A 49-year-old female patient complained of nausea, vomiting, and abdominal distension 1 month after a massive brainstem hemorrhage. No improvement was seen with
BACKGROUND
Moxibustion, an important therapeutic measure of TCM, can stimulate acupoints to unblock the meridians and collaterals, regulate the function of qi and blood, support health, and expel pathogens. So it could be an effective and safe for the treatment of constipation and improvement of the
This work describes the experimental validation of a cardiac simulator for three heart rates (60, 80 and 100 beats per minute), under physiological conditions, as a suitable environment for prosthetic heart valves testing in the mitral or aortic position.
In the experiment, an aortic bileaflet
The radioactive microsphere technique was used to trace regional blood flow and total cardiac output distribution in rats in heart failure secondary to biventricular volume overload during acute intravenous infusion of nitroglycerin. Data from rats with heart failure (chronic arteriovenous shunt)
The auxiliary total artificial heart (ATAH) is an electromechanically driven artificial heart with reduced dimensions, which is able to be implanted in the right thoracic or abdominal cavities of an average human patient without removing the natural heart or the heart neurohumoral inherent control
Despite improvements in ventricular assist devices (VAD) design, VAD-induced stroke rates remain remarkably high at 14-47%. We previously employed computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to propose adjustment of VAD outflow graft (VAD-OG) implantation to reduce stoke. Herein, we present an in-vitro model
This study investigated right ventricular (RV) performance during hypotensive anesthesia and compared the effect of the vasodilators prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), nicardipine HCl (Nic), glycerin trinitrate (GTN), and isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN) on RV function. Fifty patients were allocated into four
