NON-INVASIVE DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MEASURING THE CARDIAC OUTPUT OF A PATIENT [PDF]
A method and system for detecting the presence of restriction to expired airflow in humans or animals by analyzing the expired capnogram and oxygram, as well as the geometric analysis of the real-time plot of the waveform that depicts the instantaneous ...

Gas exchange and pulmonary stress variations during SCUBA and breath‐hold diving in open seawater
Abstract figure legend Healthy, trained divers were studied before, during and after diving in open seawater with different techniques. SCUBA divers (diving to 15 or 40 m with air; cycling at depth) and breath‐hold divers (BHDs; sled‐assisted dives to 15, 25 or 40 m) underwent underwater and surface arterial blood gas (ABG) sampling.

An unexpected complication: Air embolism during contrast-enhanced computed tomography
Air embolism is often an iatrogenic complication that may occur in venous or arterial circulation depending on the port of entry. We present a case of a 40-year-old female who had a venous air embolism in the pulmonary artery as a consequence of the ...

Loess Studies in Aotearoa New Zealand
Loess in Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) has been studied since its first documented recognition (on Banks Peninsula) in 1878 by Julius von Haast. A decade later, John Hardcastle revealed that southern ANZ loess was both glacial in origin and contained signals of past climates.

Da Vinci's mischief: xylem conduits in the stems of woody plants do not furcate
Summary The hydraulic architecture of plants is often modeled as a ‘furcating’ network, in which xylem conduits proliferate in number toward the stem apex, analogous to animal circulatory systems. Yet whether furcation actually occurs within woody stems remains untested, despite major implications for carbon costs and hydraulic efficiency.
