acetylene/脳卒中

In the present study, a four-stroke cycle gasoline engine is redesigned and converted into a six-stroke cycle engine and experimental study has been conducted using gasoline and acetylene as fuel with water injection at the end of the recompression stroke. Acetylene has been used as an alternative

The intra-breath technique to measure acetylene absorption offers the possibility to determine augmentation of the pulmonary blood flow per heart beat (Q(C)) as an estimate of the stroke volume response during exercise. However, this method has not been compared with a validated test until now.

. Baseline relationships between SV and O2pulse were significant in CF (r = .80) and controls (r = .40), persisting to peak exercise in CF (r = .63) and controls (r = .73). The standard error of estimate for O2pulse-predicted SV with respect to measured SV was similar at baseline (14.1 vs 20.1 mL)

We recently validated in-vitro a new mathematical approach to echocardiographic volume calculation. With this method all echo views are acquired from one point as the transducer is tilted. The angle of tilt of the transducer must be measured. A tilt frame was designed for use in-vivo that does not

The specific aims of the present study were to determine: (1) the day-to-day reproducibility of a semiautomated acetylene rebreathing technique for measuring cardiac output under resting conditions; (2) the reproducibility of this technique among subjects differing in gender and age; and (3) the

To study rest and exercise pulmonary capillary blood flow (Qc) and diffusing capacity (DLexh) assessed by the rapid analysis of methane, acetylene, and carbon monoxide during a single, slow exhalation, we evaluated 36 subjects during first-pass radionuclide angiography (RNA). At rest (N = 36) and at

OBJECTIVE This paper evaluates the changes in vehicle exhaust and stroke mortality for the general public residing in the surrounding area of the light rail transit (LRT) in Houston, Texas, after its opening. METHODS The number of daily deaths due to stroke for 2002-2005 from the surrounding area of

In this paper, the effect of injection pressure on the performance, emission, and combustion characteristics of a diesel-acetylene fuelled single cylinder, four-stroke, direct injection (DI) diesel engine with a rated power of 3.5 kW at a rated speed of 1500 rpm was studied. Experiments were

It has been a long-lasting debate whether the heart's stroke volume (SV) increases at high aerobic intensities or plateau. Further, sex and level of aerobic power are shown to influence the response. The purpose of this study was to investigate the SV at increasing intensities in elite female

Cardiac output and stroke volume were evaluated in 17 children (mean age 11.5 +/- 3 years) with discrete, membranous subvalvular (Group I, n = 7) and valvular (Group II, n = 10) aortic stenosis during submaximal and maximal (greater than 75% predicted maximal oxygen consumption) upright cycle

Previous literature has shown that sedentary older women rely on peripheral adaptations to improve cardiorespiratory fitness with endurance training i.e. they show minimal increases in central parameters (cardiac output, Q) in response to endurance training. The purpose of this study therefore was

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) plays an important role in properly phenotyping signs and symptoms of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). The prognostic value of CPET is strengthened when accompanied by cardiac hemodynamic measurements. Although recognized as the "gold"

Postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is characterized by excessive tachycardia without hypotension during orthostasis. Most POTS patients also report exercise intolerance. To assess cardiovascular regulation during exercise in POTS, patients (n = 13) and healthy controls (n = 10) performed graded

OBJECTIVE Right ventricular function determines the prognosis of pulmonary hypertension (PAH). Measurement of stroke volume (SV) non-invasively could be a promising method to monitor disease progression. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is recognized as an accurate and reproducible method to

BACKGROUND Impaired right ventricular function has been implicated as a cause of reduced maximal exercise capacity after the Mustard operation for transposition of the great arteries. RESULTS Fourteen asymptomatic survivors of the Mustard operation were studied. Each underwent conventional cardiac
