Is there any difference between haemostatic effects of non-radioactive and radioactive lantern mantle powder?
The haemostatic effect of burned radioactive lantern mantles powder is investigated. Forty one male Wistar rats were divided randomly into three groups. Following anaesthesia, animals' tails were cut off. The volume of blood loss, bleeding time and clotting time in control animals were 4.07 ± 1.69 cc, 127.73 ± 44.98 sec and 107.27 ± 51.11 sec, respectively. In the second ...

Cardiovascular metrics and transepidermal water loss in a high heat risk environment
Heat stress is currently primarily classified by environmental factors and not physiological factors. It is already known that certain cardiovascular metrics such as heart rate, stroke volume, blood pressure and vascular compliance undergo changes as the body traverses the different classifications of heat stress from heat oedema to heat stroke. However, there is no specific metric that provides ...

Clinical Research On-Demand: How the University of Washington’s Theberge Lab is Using Tasso to Study Unpredictable Events in Real Time - Case Study
Many important research questions cannot be studied under controlled circumstances. Events like natural disasters or disease exposure often occur without warning and prevent in-person clinic visits, making timely observation difficult without a flexible approach. At the University of Washington, researchers are partnering with Tasso to study these scenarios by deploying on-demand remote ...

The evolution of photoplethysmography (PPG) within smart devices
As a technology, photoplethysmography (PPG) has been explored for almost a century, but it is only in the last few years that it has had a broader application beyond specialised medical settings. That has generally been driven by the evolution of smartphones, smartwatches and even smaller wearable devices such as smart rings. PPG is most commonly used in pulse oximetry in clinical settings ...

Conceptual Considerations for Device-Based Therapy in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure
Abstract Acute decompensated heart failure remains the most common cause of hospitalization in older adults, and studies of pharmacological therapies have yielded limited progress in improving outcomes for these patients. This has prompted the development of novel device–based interventions, classified mechanistically based on the way in which they intend to improve central hemodynamics, ...
