HIGH POSITIVE END EXPIRATORY PRESSURE LEVELS AFFECT HEMODYNAMICS IN ELDERLY PATIENTS WITH HYPERTENSION ADMITTED TO THE INTENSIVE CARE UNIT: A PROSPECTIVE COHORT STUDY

Abstract Background To study the effects of different positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) on blood pressure and heart function in elderly patients with hypertension.Methods Forty elderly patients above 65 years of age treated with mechanical ventilation were divided into two groups: a control group of non-hypertensive subjects (n = 18) and a hy

For providing advanced desalination the combination of the improvement of water recovery ratio in the reverse osmosis (RO) process and the No-Chlorine/No-Sodium Bisulfite (SBS) vetality twist and lick Dosing process was studied.In order to prevent membrane fouling even in high recovery water operations, an advanced two-stage design was implemented

We introduce the MATLAB-based software QuITO (Quasi-Interpolation based Trajectory Optimization) to numerically solve a wide class of constrained nonlinear optimal control riley reid schoolgirl problems (OCP).The solver is based on the QuITO (the same abbreviation) algorithm, which is a direct multiple shooting (DMS) technique that leverages a part

Abstract Background members of the genus Sarcocystis are intracellular obligate protozoan parasites classified within the phylum Apicomplexa and have an obligate heteroxenous life cycle k24a4 block involving two hosts.A more comprehensive understanding of the prevalence and geographic range of different Sarcocystis species in marine ecosystems is n
