Relatively little information is available at present concerning the effect of surgical anæsthesia on this new parameter in capillary or arterial blood. Payne and Conway1 recently concluded that normal values for arterial blood standard bicarbonate were significantly lower than those reported by Astrup...
If the definitions that were recommended by these two bodies are used for defining whether the result of an oral glucose tolerance test is to be considered normal or abnormal, the present results indicate that the verdict will in some cases be influenced by the route by which the blood was ...
e. While most CBC parameters exhibit similar values in capillary than venous, platelets are lower, due to local aggregation, especially at higher counts. Chavan P, et al. Comparison of complete blood count parameters between venous and capillary blood in oncology patients. J Lab Phys 2016;8:65...
The capillary equivalents for the venous threshold values were calculated by regression analysis. The glucose challenge test predictions of either normal or abnormal agreed in 82%. The sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values for the capillary oral glucose tolerance test were...
The O2 supply of normal tissue at rest and during activity is not limited by diffusion or by the number of open capillaries, as indicated by calculations based on (1) the diffusion coefficient for O2, (2) the capillary density and diffusion distances, (3) the blood flow, and (4) the ...
Data were tested for normal distribution using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov-Test. For each tested hand-held device, descriptive statistics were estimated for the glucose concentrations analyzed in capillary and coccygeal blood. Additionally, the Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated between the reference...
Results: The blood glucose of 300 critical patients was checked by finger stick in the emergency unit. The participants with normal vital signs had perfusion index between 0 and 5; the results obtained by the two methods were more consistent for perfusion index values of 6 and over. The ...
Music can regulate respiratory rate in the normal range, and decrease stress levels, energy expenditure, and episodes of apneas and bradycardias [31]. The study of Patel et al. revealed that music therapy can have a positive effect on the various responses of preterm infants during painful ...

The question of whether macromolecules are transported mainly by convection through large pores in the walls of microvessels in normal healthy tissue has implications for our understanding of fluid exchange between blood and tissues. It could be that the question of the quantitative importance of conve...
