Comparison of myocardial performance index versus ratio of isovolumic contraction time/ejection time in left ventricular systolic dysfunction
(SPRINGER, 2007)
Myocardial performance index (MPI) has been regarded as an important parameter in the evaluation of ventricular systolic function in congestive heart failure. This study was designed to investigate the relationship between ...
Numerical investigation of fouling on cross-flow heat exchanger tubes with conjugated heat transfer approach
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2008)
Although fouling on heat exchanger tubes is extensively investigated, due to the lack of energy resources, the effects of fouling on heat exchangers is still an important area of study and gaining more and more attention ...

Investigating the effects of the Rho-kinase enzyme inhibitors AS1892802 and fasudil hydrochloride on the contractions of isolated pregnant rat myometrium
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2016)
Objectives: Rho-kinases (ROCKs), are one of the dynamic structures of the actin cytoskeleton and they mediate different biological processes, including regulation of calcium sensitivity of smooth muscle contraction. The ...
Searching for an ideal hemodynamic marker to predict short-term outcome in cardiogenic shock
(BMC, 2009)
Cardiogenic shock is a lethal condition. Physicians are searching for hemodynamic markers which could help risk-stratification of patients in this picture. Torgersen and coworkers present an hourly time integral of the ...
