Low dose beta-blocker prevents ovariectomy-induced bone loss in rats without affecting heart functions.

29 Nov 2008 Findings from animal studies have suggested that bone remodeling is under beta-adrenergic control. However, the level of adrenergic inhibition required to achieve the most favorable effects on the skeleton remains unknown. To address this question, ... Read more...

Effects of arterial ischemia and venous congestion on the lumbar nerve root in dogs.

30 Oct 2008 The development of radiculopathy in patients with lumbar canal stenosis is thought to be closely related to intraradicular edema resulting from compression. However, there is little agreement as to question which is more essential for intermittent ... Read more...

Ability of pulse power, esophageal Doppler, and arterial pulse pressure to estimate rapid changes in stroke volume in humans.

30 Oct 2008 INTRODUCTION: Measures of arterial pulse pressure variation and left ventricular stroke volume variation induced by positive-pressure breathing vary in proportion to preload responsiveness. However, the accuracy of commercially available devices to ... Read more...
