Discovery and Treatment of Action Potential‐Independent Myotonia in Hyperkalemic Periodic Paralysis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Hyperkalemic periodic paralysis (hyperKPP) is characterized by attacks of transient weakness. A subset of hyperKPP patients suffers from transient involuntary contraction of muscle (myotonia). The goal of this study was to determine mechanisms causing myotonia in hyperKPP.

Arterial pulse wave pressure transducer [PDF]

, 1974
An arterial pulse wave pressure transducer is introduced. The transducer is comprised of a fluid filled cavity having a flexible membrane disposed over the cavity and adapted to be placed on the skin over an artery.

Fluid-structure interaction simulation of pulse propagation in arteries : numerical pitfalls and hemodynamic impact of a local stiffening [PDF]

, 2014
When simulating the propagation of a pressure pulse in arteries, the discretization parameters (i.e. the time step size and the grid size) need to be chosen carefully in order to avoid a decrease in amplitude of the traveling wave due to numerical ...

Pulse Pressure and Cardiovascular Death

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2016
We read with great interest the study of Selvaraj et al. [(1)][1], which provides robust evidence on the predictive role of pulse pressure (PP) for cardiovascular (CV) outcomes. Surprisingly, however, when the predictive ability of a 10 mm Hg increase in PP was assessed, a “protective ...

Treating lupus nephritis patients to lupus low disease activity reduces renal relapse and preserves long‐term kidney function

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective Lupus low disease activity state (LLDAS) is a validated treatment target in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) but limited studies have explored the role of LLDAS in lupus nephritis (LN). This study aims to investigate the frequency and predictors of LLDAS attainment, and its benefit on LN relapse and renal function preservation in patients ...

Peak expiratory flow rate and Pulse Pressure values during the Luteal and Menstruation Phases of the Menstrual Cycle

Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2016
This study assessed the peak expiratory flow rate and pulse pressure during the luteal and menstruation phases of the menstrual cycle. The peak expiratory flow rate and pulse pressure were measured using the Wright’s Peak Flow Meter and Mercury ...

Microphysiological Glomerular Filtration Barriers: Current Insights, Innovations, and Future Applications

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
The glomerular filtration barrier (GFB) is the first step of blood filtration by the kidneys. The concerning increase of kidney diseases makes the development of new models essential. In this context, microphysiological glomerular filtration barriers focus on closely reproducing the physiological architecture of the in vivo GFB: podocytes, glomerular ...

Development of pulse diagnostic devices in Korea

Integrative Medicine Research, 2013
In Korean medicine, pulse diagnosis is one of the important methods for determining the health status of a patient. For over 40 years, electromechanical pulse diagnostic devices have been developed to objectify and quantify pulse diagnoses. In this paper,

Elevated pulse pressure is associated with hemolysis, proteinuria and chronic kidney disease in sickle cell disease. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
A seeming paradox of sickle cell disease is that patients do not suffer from a high prevalence of systemic hypertension in spite of endothelial dysfunction, chronic inflammation and vasculopathy.
