assessment of contractility changes in humans by transoesophageal echocardiography: the peak-systolic pressure end-systolic diameter relationship (pspesdrs).the peak-systolic pressure end-systolic diameter relationship (pspesdrs) was determined in ten healthy subjects under general anaesthesia by using the radial artery pressure tracing (peak-systolic pressure) and transoesophageal 2d-and m-mode echocardiography (left ventricular diameters) without blocking of autonomic reflexes. left ventricular load was changed by injection of a single intravenous dose of 0.2 mg nitroglycerin (ntg). linear regression analysis showed a close linear relationship dur ...20113119748
biomarkers of aging: immunological events.certain immune functions decline in a gradual way over the life span. to the extent that these changes are well characterized and are phylogenetically observed, they may be considered excellent biomarkers of aging. many of these age-related changes, however, are significantly influenced by age-associated phenomena such as certain diseases or psychosocial factors. immunologic factors, therefore, should be considered as markers of physiologic aging only under very careful experimental conditions.20113058494
