For centuries outbreaks of numerous diseases called pandemics would plague human populations in large regions or even world-wide. Throughout history there have been a number of widespread pandemics the most devastating being the Black Death pandemic that killed over 75 million people in the 1350’s and the latest being influenza outbreaks, also known as the Spanish flu, in 1918 and ...
Asthma management (adults): FeNO testing provides a significant advantage to health care professionals when monitoring asthma patients, including assessment of response to newly prescribed asthma therapies and regular review of adherence to medications. FeNO monitoring applications have been acknowledged globally in other well-recognised clinical guidelines, ...
Beyond its core performance, the modular design of CM2201 ensures compatibility and easy integration into monitors and anesthesia machines with an 8-pin socket. In addition to monitoring EtCO2, closely tracking oxygen concentration could ensure that patient's breathing oxygen levels remain within a safe range during the surgical procedure, avoiding situations of ...
What is urine flow rate test? You may be unfamiliar with the term urine flow rate or urinary flow rate, which is a common medical term in urology. Put it simply, the rate of urine flow measures how fast urine flows, how much it flows out, and how long it takes. It is expressed in ml/s. Urine flow rate test is done mainly when the following symptoms appear: bladder residual urine increase ...
The heart is a unique organ in many respects since its activity is mandatory to sustain life. The heart’s circulatory system and coronary flow regulation are highly adapted to the vital role of the heart in sustaining life and to everyday physiological challenges. Understanding coronary physiology is key for treating patients with ischemic heart disease in general, and ...
Human tissue-engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs) were implanted as arteriovenous grafts in a novel baboon model. Ultrasound was used to monitor flow rates and vascular diameters throughout the study. Intimal hyperplasia in the outflow vein of TEVGs was assessed at the anastomosis and at juxta-anastomotic regions via histological analysis, and was compared to ...
October 6, 2021—Surendra Shenoy, MD, presented findings from a first-in-human (FIH) evaluation of the Amplifi vein dilation system (Artio Medical, Inc.), which is a small, wearable blood pump device that dilates arm veins before arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation. Amplifi is designed to improve AVF eligibility, reduce maturation failure, reduce time to maturation, and prolong primary ...
A VF value of > 364 mL/minute and a PSV of > 99 cm/second was defined as predictive of patency.3 However, it should be noted that very high VF may indicate excessive shunting of flow and should also be monitored closely. There is a large difference between the values due to the small cohort, but when a sudden drop in value or a low flow ...
After rain events in densely populated areas, combined sewer overflows (CSOs) can have severe health-related effects upon surface water quality, as well as diffuse overland runoff and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). All of these sources emit pathogens and fecal indicator bacteria into the surface water, which the EU Bathing Water Directive addresses by giving threshold values for the ...
Pharmaceutical and biorech companies can fine-tune costs, quality, and emissions if they are equipped with more effective measurement sys- tems. Sierra mass flow meters and controllers provide precise measure- ment and control designed for process industries. They can make any plant more cost-effective in the following ways: Controlling Gas Flow To Fermenters The flow of gases to fermenters ...
Objectives: The effects of cement dust exposure on acute respiratory health were assessed among 51 high exposed and 33 low exposed male cement workers. The ability of the questionnaire to diagnose acute decrease in ventilatory function was also assessed. Methods: Acute respiratory symptoms were recorded by interview using a structured optimal symptom score questionnaire. Peak expiratory flow ...
