The obligatory role of the kidney in long-term arterial blood pressure control: extending Guyton's model of the circulation.

30 Oct 2009 We describe a model for the essential role of the kidney in long-term blood pressure regulation. We begin with a simple hydraulic model for the circulation, with a constant circulating volume. We show, with the help of a modification of Guyton's ... Read more...


Tissue oxygenation monitoring in the field: a new EMS vital sign.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: A tissue hemoglobin oxygen saturation (STO2) monitor was created to assess the perfusion status of a peripheral muscle bed using near infrared light to directly measure oxygen saturation in the microcirculation. Hypoperfusion has been ... Read more...


A novel compliance measurement in radial arteries using strain-gauge plethysmography.

4 Aug 2009 We propose a novel method for assessing the compliance of the radial artery by using a two-axis mechanism and a standard positioning procedure for detecting the optimal measuring site. A modified sensor was designed to simultaneously measure the ... Read more...
