Pressure autoregulation, intracranial pressure, and brain tissue oxygenation in children with severe traumatic brain injury.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECT: Cerebral pressure autoregulation is an important neuroprotective mechanism that stabilizes cerebral blood flow when blood pressure (BP) changes. In this study the authors examined the association between autoregulation and clinical factors, ... Read more...

Decrease in tumor cell oxygen consumption after treatment with vandetanib (ZACTIMA; ZD6474) and its effect on response to radiotherapy.

30 Oct 2009 We investigated the early effects of vandetanib (ZACTIMA; ZD6474), an inhibitor of VEGFR-dependent angiogenesis, on tumor oxygenation and on the possible consequences of combining vandetanib with radiotherapy. Tumor oxygenation, perfusion, cellular ... Read more...

Role of lifestyle and aging on the longitudinal change in cardiorespiratory fitness.

24 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in adults decreases with age and is influenced by lifestyle. Low CRF is associated with risk of diseases and the ability of older persons to function independently. We defined the longitudinal rate of CRF ... Read more...
