Effect of Qi‐training on blood pressure, heart rate and respiration rateWiley - Tập 20 Số 3 - Trang 173-176 - 2000
Myeong Soo Lee, Byung Gi Kim, Hwa Jeong Huh, Hoon Ryu, Hosub Lee, Hun‐Taeg Chung
To examine the physiological effects of Korean traditional Qi‐training, we
investigated the changes in blood pressure, heart and respiratory rates before,
during and after ChunDoSunBup (CDSB) Qi‐training. Twelve normal healthy CDSB
Qi‐trainees (19–37 years old; trained for 1·3 ± 0·2 years; 9 men and 3 women)
volunteered to participate in this study. Heart rate, respiratory rate, systolic
blood pre... hiện toàn bộ
Cerebral haemodynamics during the Mueller manoeuvre in humansWiley - Tập 20 Số 4 - Trang 292-303 - 2000
Reinhard, Hetzel, Hinkov, Lücking
Voluntary negative intra‐thoracic pressure (Mueller manoeuvre) is known to
reduce arterial blood pressure (ABP). To investigate changes in cerebral blood
flow velocity (CBFV) during 15 s Mueller manoeuvres at –30 mmHg intra‐thoracic
pressure, 27 young (aged 21–31 years, group A) and 11 older (52–64 years,
group B) healthy adults were studied using transcranial Doppler and non‐invasive
ABP measurem... hiện toàn bộ
The effect of three electrotherapeutic modalities upon peripheral nerve conduction and mechanical pain thresholdWiley - Tập 21 Số 6 - Trang 704-711 - 2001
José Alves-Guerreiro, J. Gareth Noble, Andrea S. Lowe, Deirdre Walsh
The current study was designed to examine the neurophysiological and hypoalgesic
effects of three types of electrical stimulation. Following approval by the
University’s Research Ethical Committee, healthy volunteers (n=40; 20 males and
20 females; age 20–40 years; mean age 26·18 years) were recruited and screened
for contraindications. Subjects were randomly allocated in equal numbers to the

Influence of mixed venous PO2 on diffusion of O2 across the pulmonary blood: gas barrierWiley - Tập 2 Số 2 - Trang 105-115 - 1982
Peter D. Wagner
Summary. Analyses of diffusion limitation of pulmonary O2 exchange have stressed
that alveolar PO2 (PAO2) is one of the most important factors to consider, but
recent reports suggest that PAO2 is important only insofar as it determines the
effective slope of the O2 dissociation curve. If this slope is the critical
factor, mixed venous PO2 (Pv̄o2) should also be important. This notion was
examined ... hiện toàn bộ
Leptin: physiology and pathophysiologyWiley - Tập 18 Số 5 - Trang 399-419 - 1998
Gema Frühbeck, Susan A. Jebb, Andrew M. Prentice
The identification and sequencing of the ob gene and its product, leptin, in
late 1994 opened new insights in the study of the mechanisms controlling body
weight and led to a surge of research activity. During this time, a considerable
body of knowledge regarding leptin's actions has been accumulated and the field
continues to expand rapidly. Currently there is particular interest in the
interacti... hiện toàn bộ
Digital X‐ray radiogrammetry: a new appendicular bone densitometric method with high precisionWiley - Tập 20 Số 5 - Trang 330-335 - 2000
Jan Trøst Jørgensen, P. B. Andersen, Anders Rosholm, Nina H. Bjarnason
The precision of any given method for measurement of bone mineral density (BMD)
is important in relation to the interpretation of repeated measurements over
time, e.g. to monitor the course of suspected osteoporosis or follow the effect
of therapy. In the present study a new bone densitometer using the digital X‐ray
radiogrammetry (DXR) method (Pronosco X‐posure System™) is investigated with
