EVALUATION OF HYDRATION STATUS CALCULATED FROM DIFFERENCES IN VENOUS AND CAPILLARY PLASMA DILUTION DURING STEPWISE CRYSTALLOID INFUSIONS: A RANDOMIZED CROSSOVER STUDY IN HEALTHY VOLUNTEERS

Background and objective: A mini volume loading test (mVLT) was proposed for estimating hydration status and interstitial fluid accumulation during stepwise infusion of crystalloids.The method is based on both the Cyclist Accessories - Shoes - Mountain transcapillary reflux model and the hypothesis that when subjects are dehydrated, venous plasma d

This paper will discuss the exploration of key musical and visual parameters with the aim of enhancing the appreciation of Abstracted Animation [1] with varying degrees of animacy.A series Ni-MH/Ni-Cd of animations were created in response to multiple, wordless, sung, close variations of a song.Carefully delineated, visual parameters and a mapping

We describe a surgical Zodiac Ranger Parts technique for arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction with remnant preservation of the original PCL fibers using a posterior trans-septal portal approach.Using the transtibial technique and the posterior trans-septal portal approach allows good visualization of the tibial tunnel prepa

Background: Developmental coordination disorder (DCD), also known as developmental dyspraxia, is a chronic neurological disorder beginning in childhood, that can affect planning of movements and coordination.Balance dysfunction is one of the most common sensorimotor impairments observed among children with DCD, which may have influence on daily liv

Organophosphate pesticides are widely used in agriculture, leading to soil, water, and food contamination.Among these compounds is Dichlorvos [O,O-dimethyl O-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)phosphate, DDVP], which is listed as a highly toxic compound by the Environmental Protection Agency and World Health Organization.Exposure to DDVP can result in nervous, res
