A comprehensive review is presented on current international trends regarding research and management of severe acute brain trauma. Controversial issues are thoroughly discussed and an attempt is made to clarify questionable ...

The results observed in this work support the view that coronary perfusion pressure affects ventricular performance independently of metabolic effects; a mechanism operating in beat-to-beat regulation is proposed.

PURPOSE--To analyze the influence of the myocardial engorgement due to coronary perfusion on the left ventricular diastolic pressure/volume (P/V) relations. METHODS--The study was undertaken in the isovolumic blood-perfused ...

Isolated segments of the perfused rat tail artery display a high basal tone when compared to other isolated arteries such as the mesenteric and are suitable for the assay of vasopressor agents. However, the perfusion of ...
