| intravenous nifedipine for prevention of myocardial ischaemia after coronary revascularization. | we sought to determine the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic behaviour of a continuous infusion of nifedipine given for prevention of myocardial ischaemia following coronary artery bypass graft (cabg) surgery. patients scheduled for elective cabg, who had good left ventricular function, were included. only normotensive patients who did not require treatment with vasoactive drugs and were bleeding less than 100 ml.hr-1 following surgery were included. the patients were randomly distributed into ... | 2006 | 1464126 |
| haemorheology and exercise: intrinsic flow properties of blood in marathon running. | haemorheological and haematological parameters were studied in venous blood samples taken from 8 endurance-trained athletes before and after a marathon run. viscometry was performed in a 20 microns glass capillary and in a couette viscometer. apparent blood viscosity was lower in the capillary than in the rotational viscometer, but significant differences between pre- and post-run samples were not observed in either system. this is presumably due to the absence of changes of haematocrit (pre-run ... | 2006 | 1459744 |
| [ultrasound morphology of gallstones]. | using a subtile examination technique genuine information can be obtained from the interior of a gallstone--at least to a depth of 15 mm. this information should provide an indication of the homogeneous (crystalline) or inhomogeneous (non-cholesterol) structure of the stone. further systematic use of differentiating gallstone ultrasonography could become a useful additional decision making criterion for selection of gallstones suitable for conservative treatment. | 2006 | 1449008 |
