Sixty sedentary adults were randomized to 12-wk of either ATM (n = 36 [19 males and 17 females], 41 ± 2 yr, 173.58 ± 1.58 cm, 93.19 ± 3.15 kg) or land-based treadmill (LTM, n = 24 [11 males, 13 females], 42 ± 2 yr, 170.39 ± 1.94 cm, 88.14 ± 3.6 kg) training, three sessions per week, progressing to 500 kcal per session,... |
RESULTS |
ATM but not LTM training significantly reduced resting diastolic BP (-3.2 mm Hg), exercise systolic BP (range 9-18.2 mm Hg lower for each exercise stage), diastolic BP (3.2-8.1 mm Hg), mean arterial pressure (4.8-8.3 mm Hg, lower than LTM posttraining), and pulse pressure (7.5-15 mm Hg) during stages of exercise stress... |
CONCLUSION |
ATM training can reduce BP reactivity to physical stress.[Possible pro-arrhythmic effects of vagal stimulation maneuvers]. |
Vagal stimulation manoeuvres are currently used in clinical practice both for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Such manoeuvres are not, however, without risk. The Authors describe the case of a patient in whom, in the past, a Lown-Ganong-Levine syndrome had been diagnosed. During a vagal stimulation, performed beca... |

Bacterial reaction centers (RCs) convert light energy into chemical free energy via the double reduction and protonation of the secondary quinone electron acceptor, QB, to the dihydroquinone QBH2. Two RC mutants (M266His --> Leu and M266His --> Ala) with a modified ligand of the non-heme iron have been studied by flash... |
A study was made of the effect of cordicepin on the biosynthesis of rat brain heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA) fractions, such as poly(A-)hnRNA, oligo(A+)hnRNA and poly(A+)hnRNA differing in the size of poly(A)-segments. Cordicepin was shown to inhibit the biosynthesis of poly(A+)hnRNA alone. However, small doses of t... |
OBJECTIVE |
The pharmacokinetics of oral diazepam are affected by food, but food effect studies have not been conducted for diazepam nasal spray because it is believed that most absorption occurs via the nasal mucosa. However, gastrointestinal side effects reported with nasal diazepam suggest that at least a portion of the drug ma... |
METHODS |
This randomized, open-label crossover study compared equal doses of diazepam nasal spray after an overnight fast and after a standardized high-fat, high-calorie breakfast. Each subject served as their own control, and there was a washout period of at least 21 days between treatments. |
RESULTS |
Twenty-four healthy adults enrolled in this study. Two subjects withdrew consent, and two subjects had pre-dose diazepam concentrations that exceeded the protocol-defined minimum after the washout period and were excluded from the final analysis population of 20 subjects. Under fed conditions, the mean maximum plasma d... |
SIGNIFICANCE |
This study in healthy volunteers demonstrated that food significantly decreases and delays the absorption of diazepam dosed via nasal spray. Patients using diazepam nasal spray after eating may obtain diazepam concentrations that are below those needed for seizure control.Dielectric properties of paper-based composites... |
A kind of paper-based composite was prepared with short carbon fibers (CFs) and para-aramid fibrids through the process of papermaking. The dielectric properties of the paper-based composites at microwave frequency were investigated. Based on the Lichtenecker Rule, the dielectric constants of CFs in composites at diffe... |
OBJECTIVES |
To determine the point prevalence of alcohol abuse and dependence among practicing surgeons. |
DESIGN |
Cross-sectional study with data gathered through a 2010 survey. |
SETTING |
The United States of America. |
PARTICIPANTS |
Members of the American College of Surgeons. |
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES |
Alcohol abuse and dependence. |
RESULTS |
Of 25,073 surgeons sampled, 7197 (28.7%) completed the survey. Of these, 1112 (15.4%) had a score on the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, version C, consistent with alcohol abuse or dependence. The point prevalence for alcohol abuse or dependence for male surgeons was 13.9% and for female surgeons was 25.6%. ... |
CONCLUSIONS |
Alcohol abuse and dependence is a significant problem in US surgeons. Organizational approaches for the early identification of problematic alcohol consumption followed by intervention and treatment where indicated should be strongly supported.Fusing of immunoscintigraphy SPECT with CT or MRI for improved multimodality... |
