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...

Estimating blood loss: comparative study of the accuracy of parents and health care professionals.

26 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: Hematemesis and hematochezia are not uncommon presenting complaints in children. The amount of blood loss reported by the parent is likely to influence the pediatrician's decision regarding investigations and management. Currently, there ... Read more...

Dissociation between reflex sympathetic and forearm vascular responses to lower body negative pressure in heart failure patients with coronary artery disease.

2 Sep 2009 Many heart failure (HF) patients exhibit paradoxical forearm vasodilation when central blood volume is reduced by lower body negative pressure (LBNP). We tested the hypothesis that this response results from reflex sympathetic withdrawal. We ... Read more...
