Acute Effects of Continuous and Intermittent Blood Flow Restriction on Movement Velocity During Bench Press Exercise Against Different Loads

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
This study evaluated the effects of continuous and intermittent blood flow restriction (BFR) with 70% of full arterial occlusion pressure on bar velocity during the bench press exercise against a wide range of resistive loads.

A novel technique for assessment of post-extubation airway obstruction can successfully replace the conventional cuff leak test: a pilot study

BMC Anesthesiology, 2022
Background Post-extubation airway obstruction is an important complication of tracheal intubation. The cuff leak test is traditionally used to estimate the risk of this complication.

Effect of the shape of the cuff on blood pressure measurement in people with large arms

Blood Pressure, 2020
Purpose: Previous data suggest that tronco-conical cuffs should be used for accurate blood pressure (BP) measurement in the obese. However, not only arm size but also its shape may affect the accuracy of BP measurement when a cylindrical cuff is used ...

Geodesically Complete Hyperbolic Structures [PDF]

Math. Proc. Camb. Phil. Soc. 166 (2019) 219-242, 2015
In the first part of this work we explore the geometry of infinite type surfaces and the relationship between its convex core and space of ends. In particular, we show that a geodesically complete hyperbolic surface is made up of its convex core with funnels attached along the simple closed geodesic components and half-planes attached along simple open

The Effects of Brachial Arterial Stiffening on The Accuracy of Oscillometric Blood Pressure Measurement: A Computational Model Study

Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2012
Oscillometric noninvasive blood pressure measurement (ONBPM) is nowadays widely applied in health care. However, ONBPM has been found to exhibit large interindividual variability in accuracy.

Effect of Arthroscopic Acromioplasty Combined with Rotator Cuff Repair in the Treatment of Aged Patients with Full-Thickness Rotator Cuff Tear and Rotator Cuff Injury

Emergency Medicine International, 2022
Full-thickness rotator cuff tear and rotator cuff injury are frequently occurring diseases and widely exist in the social population. Surgical repair is the most effective treatment for rotator cuff tears and injuries.

Evaluation of the endotracheal tube cuff pressure changes during cardiac operations under cardiopulmonary bypass [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Research, 2023
Introduction: Tracheal intubation is used for most operations under general anesthesia. Prolonged hyperinflation of the tube cuff can compromise tracheal mucosal perfusion, and low pressure of the cuff may cause some other complications.

Evaluation of microbial contamination on cuff syringe, cuff pressure gauge, and their surroundings in the operating room

JA Clinical Reports, 2021
Background Some institutions reuse cuff syringes and do not periodically sterilize cuff pressure gauges. Pathogenic bacterial contamination of such equipment may increase the probability of pathogen transmission to patients during anesthetic procedures ...

Non-ergodicity of the geodesic flow on Cantor tree surfaces [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
A Riemann surface equipped with its conformal hyperbolic metric is parabolic if and only if the geodesic flow on its unit tangent bundle is ergodic. Let X be a Cantor tree or a blooming Cantor tree Riemann surface. Fix a geodesic pants decomposition of X and call the boundary geodesics in the decomposition cuffs.
