Introduction:
Hyperventilation has been used for intraoperative brain relaxation for decades, Interestingly, this common practice is not based on robust evidence .
The mechanism of brain relaxation secondary to hyperventilation is attributed to the hypocapnia induced cerebral vasoconstriction and
Radiotherapy (RT) has an established role in breast cancer, complementing surgery and systemic therapies to prevent recurrences and improve survival. Long-Term follow-up shows that the beneficial effect on survival is weakened by radiation-induced cardiac and lung cancer mortality, especially in
1. Introduction:
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is one of the major causes of chronic morbidity and mortality throughout the world . Many people suffer from the disease for years and die too early from its complications. COPD is the fourth leading cause of death in adults of United

Despite a greater awareness of pain after all types of intracranial surgery, clinicians remain reluctant to
The main goal of this phase 1 clinical trial was to evaluate the safety of an autologous mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) application as therapy for drug-resistant symptomatic epilepsy in a one-center study. It is well known that drug-resistant symptomatic epilepsy is a dramatically invalidating disorder

At Visit 1, participants will complete questionnaires about demographics, asthma control (if asthmatic) and exercise habits.

Background
During facial cooling and especially during breath hold, can mammals - and also humans - elicit a so called dive reflex, causing bradycardia, peripheral vasoconstriction and centralization of blood flow to brain, lungs and heart (18 Foster et al 2005), but the reflex is suppressed by
Raised intracranial pressure occurs following an expansion of an intracranial mass e.g. hematoma or brain tumor and if left untreated, can lead to brain ischemia, stroke and death.
Strategies for reducing raised intracranial pressure include hyperventilation, use of a hyperosmolar agent and the
