Isoprenaline versus nitroglycerine in head-up tilt test
Background: HUTT test is used in evaluation of syncope. Isoprenaline and isosorbide dinitrate are used to increase the sensitivity of the test. These drugs act by different mechanisms.

Repeated tilt testing in patients with tilt-positive neurally mediated syncope [PDF]
In this study we have included 222 patients with apparent neurally mediated syncope and with a positive diagnostic tilt test. The mean age was 33.4+/-21.2 years (median 25.3): there were 107 men (median age 25.3) and 115 women (median age 22.6). The age difference between males and females was statistically significant (P = 0.002).

Inflation and Alternatives with Blue Tensor Spectra
We study the tilt of the primordial gravitational waves spectrum. A hint of blue tilt is shown from analyzing the BICEP2 and POLARBEAR data. Motivated by this, we explore the possibilities of blue tensor spectra from the very early universe cosmology ...

Carotid sinus hypersensitivity as a cause of multiple falls in an elderly patient: a case report
The carotid sinus is a neurovascular structure composed of baroreceptors responsible for detecting changes in blood pressure. When the baroreflex response of the carotid sinus becomes excessively sensitive, it can result in symptoms such as syncope ...

Signal-to-Noise Eigenmode Analysis of the Two-Year COBE Maps
To test a theory of cosmic microwave background fluctuations, it is natural to expand an anisotropy map in an uncorrelated basis of linear combinations of pixel amplitudes --- statistically-independent for both the noise and the signal.

Introduction: The head-up tilt table test is noninvasive diagnostic procedure, which is used in the diagnosis of syncope. Syncope presents a benign short-term disorder of cerebral circulation with the sudden loss of consciousness and muscle tone.

Effects of head tilt on visual field testing with a head-mounted perimeter imo. [PDF]
A newly developed head-mounted perimeter termed "imo" enables visual field (VF) testing without a fixed head position. Because the positional relationship between the subject's head and the imo is fixed, the effects of head position changes on the test ...

Tilt-Strain Changes Linked to a Jacking System Test
A sector of the San Marco Hospital (Catania, Italy) was the subject of a jacking test in order to demonstrate the substitutability of the seismic isolator. A monitoring system, included tiltmeters and strain gauges, was applied to one column.

Temporal artery flow response during the last minute of a head up tilt test, in relation with orthostatic intolerance after a 60 day head-down bedrest. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Check if the Temporal flow response to Tilt could provide early hemodynamic pattern in the minutes preceding a syncope during the Tilt test performed after a 60-d head down bedrest (HDBR). METHOD: Twenty-one men divided into 3 groups [Control (
