The aim of our study was to test whether the supine position or the sitting position worsens static, forced expiratory flows and measurements of lung mechanics in a group of aged subjects living in a nursing hom
[ring-13C6]phenylalanine (2.25 µmol/kg). Thereafter, a continuous intravenous infusion ofl-[ring-13C6]phenylalanine (0.05 µmol/kg/min) was initiated (t= −300 min) using a calibrated SpaceplusInfusomat pump (B. Braun, Melsungen, Germany). While resting in a supine position, ...
Ageing is associated with increased blood pressure (BP), reduced sleep, decreased pulmonary function and exercise capacity. The main purpose of this study
This study aimed to assess the association between blood pressure (BP) and a measure of quality of standing balance, i.e. Center of Pressure (CoP) movement, after postural change from supine to standing position in geriatric outpatients, and to compare CoP movement between patients with and ...
First, participants sat in an upright position with a blood pressure cuff placed on the distal forearm, which was subsequently inflated to 200 mmHg for 5 min to simulate the artery occlusion portion of the FMD procedure. Participants then cycled at a self-selected moderate intensity for 5...
Patients whose SDB occurs when they are in a supine sleep position may benefit from “positional therapy” (using a wedge or sewing a pocket filled with tennis balls on the back of a pajama shirt) (50). Alcohol, sedatives, narcotics, and muscle relaxants should be avoided because they may...
This finding may be explained by the supine position the patients had to maintain during evaluation of MSNA and that deep inhalation of the study drug is difficult in the supine position. Some other studies were also unable to detect an increase in FEV1 with salme- terol despite positive ...
As a general rule, the following factors cause the DL_{CO} to do the following: a. Increased age (increase; decrease; or remain the same) b. Increased lung volume (increase; decrease; or remain the same) c. Supine position (increase; decrease; or remai ...
Continue from your staff position. Gently recline back, and lie supine. Keep your legs joined. Bend and fold up your legs. Raise up your upper body ( from below your shoulders) and legs. Balance your body and legs upward on your shoulders. ...
All of the patients received national guidelines for the surgical techniques via supine position and the length of incision was within a range of 3–5 cm. According to preoperative measurement results of CT, the blade of PFNA with appropriate size was hammered directly ...
