The cardiovascular and neuromuscular interactions of verapamil dantrolene were evaluated in 20 chloralose-anesthetized swine. animals randomly divided into three groups. Group I, ten animals, received a bolus intravenous injection 0.1 mg . kg-1 followed by the continuous infusion 5 micrograms min-1. This group was then two equal subgroups. Five these Ia, continued to receive alone. other five Ib, incremental doses 1.0, 3.3, 5.6 while continued. An additional II, same but did not verapamil....

Despite the improvements afforded by intracoronary stenting, restenosis remains a significant problem. The optimal physical properties of stent have not been defined. We compared vascular response to thermoelastic self-expanding nitinol with balloon-expandable tubular slotted stainless steel in normal porcine coronary arteries. Twenty-two stents (11 and 11 slotted) were implanted miniature swine. deployed using intrinsic thermal metal, without adjunctive balloon dilation. noncompliant mean...

The cardiovascular effects of the calcium channel blockers verapamil (V), nifedipine (N) and diltiazem (D) were compared in halothane-anesthetized swine. Equipotent hypotensive doses three blocking drugs administered randomly by continuous infusion to groups six animals each produce a uniform 25-30% reduction mean systemic arterial blood pressure (BP). An additional group received sodium nitroprusside (S) demonstrate lowering with pure vasodilator on this experimental preparation....

Abstract Objective Clinical sequelae have not been well characterized during the post-acute phase of SARS-CoV-2 among adults 18 to 65 years old, and this study sought fill that gap by evaluating excess risk relative hazards for developing incident clinical phase. Design Retrospective cohort including three propensity-matched groups. Setting This merged data sources from a large United States health plan: national administrative claims database, an outpatient lab testing inpatient hospital...

This study aimed to examine all-cause mortality, 1- and 2-year major cardiovascular events, adverse limb events in individuals aged ≥65 years who received an in-home health visit with peripheral artery disease screening. In addition, we compared 1-year healthcare utilization before after screening for those screened positive.Medicare Advantage beneficiaries participating the Optum HouseCalls program U.S. between April 1, 2017 February 2019 were included.The intervention consisted of a using...

This Work-In-Progress paper summarizes insights from early research activities related to a National Science Foundation (NSF) Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE) project investigating faculty adoption of evidence-based instructional practices (EBIPs) in engineering classrooms. We are EBIPs classrooms because, although instructors interested and willing adopt them, uptake by is lagging. To understand what driving limited incorporation EBIPs, our objectives anchored overlying goal...

Background: Coronary artery disease, diabetes, hypertension, and depression are common burdensome conditions. Objectives: To examine whether multidimensional preventive in-home visits were associated with fewer emergency inpatient care episodes higher quality of care. Research Design: An observational, retrospective data analysis. Subjects: A nationwide Medicare Advantage population from the Optum Labs Data Warehouse. Measures: We compared beneficiaries 1 or more conditions an visit in 2018...
