Using Pressure Transducers for Noninvasive Heart and Respiratory Monitoring
Detecting heart and respiratory rates is an essential means of providing emergency medical care. Current methods of detecting such signals include the widely used electrocardiography (ECG) method. Other more manual methods of heart and respiratory rate estimation require a practitioner to …

Investigation into the use of an epidural morphine sulfate and detomidine hydrochloride combination in horses: Part 1: efficacy in alleviation of hindlimb pain, Part 2: long-term systemic and local effects
… to the lumbosacral region. Baseline heart and respiratory rates were recorded and horses were videotaped at a walk and trot. Treated horses received 0.2 mg/kg morphine sulfate and 30 ug/kg detomidine hydrochloride through the epidural catheter; control horses received an equivalent volume of …

Effect of krilium on the respiratory activities of Rhizobium trifolii and Agrobacterium tumefaciens on various substrates
The respiratory rates of Rhizobium trifolii and Agrobacterium tumefaciens were measured by use of a Warburg Respirometer. A non-proliferating or "resting cell" technique was utilized in demonstrating the effect of Krilium on the oxygen consumption of the organisms when Krilium was aided to a given …

An investigation into what influences nurses' practice to not take and record respiratory rate
… Nurses (RNs) to not take and record patients’ respiratory rate. It was an exploratory descriptive qualitative study based on semi-structured telephone interviews with ten RNs working in three hospitals within New Zealand. The interviews aimed to investigate their experiences around the practice …

Design of a device to provide visual stimulation to infants confined in incubators
… state, focal point, time attending, heart and respiratory rates. Each infant was observed on two separate days. Each observation period was divided into three 2-minute segments. On the intervention day, data were collected in a baseline, stimulus, stimulus sequence. On the nonintervention day, …

Understanding Bed Bug (Cimex lectularius (L.)) Egg Susceptibility to Different Insecticide Treatments
… field. For the first study, daily changes in egg respiratory rates of susceptible and resistant bed bug strains were measured and compared between untreated eggs, and eggs treated with either an insecticide or a dish soap. The results of this study indicated that there were significant differences …

Conditional Loss of Engrailed 1/2 in Rhombic Lip-Derived Neurons Increases Intrinsic Rhythmicity and Decreases Overall Variability of Eupneic Respiration
… must evaluate rhythm and variability of the respiratory sequence. In this study, we chose an elegant model of cerebellar neuropathology, Atoh1-En1/2 CKO, where mutant animals have conditional loss of the developmental patterning gene Engrailed 1/2 in rhombic lip-lineage neurons and exhibit a …

A Strategy to Increase the Utilization of RRT
… cardiopulmonary arrest and reducing mortality rates (Morgan, 1997). Occasionally the signs of clinical deterioration are not recognized in the early stages. There are observable physiological abnormalities prior to adverse events such as cardiac or respiratory arrest, unanticipated admissions …

The Study of Benthic Invertebrate Communities in: -(a) Lotic Eutrophic Waters (b) A River in Stages of Recovery from Past Pollution
… and preliminary investigations into their respiratory rates at differing oxygen concentrations have been made using a respirometric chamber designed and developed for this purpose. An appendix containing comprehensive drawings of taxonomic features of the Chironomidae encountered has been …

Interrogating the lungs through wearable fabric electronics
… a lot of noise and was only capable of detecting respiratory rates on a body with minimal movement. With minimal movement, this destroyed the purpose of having the fiber be mobile and flexible. The second solution utilized a nanostructured piezoelectric fiber to listen to the sounds the body …

EVIDENCE SUPPORTING THE UTILITY OF BLOOD CELL RESPIRATORY CAPACITY AS A SYSTEMIC MARKER OF MITOCHONDRIAL HEALTH AND BIOLOGICAL AGE
… PBMC and platelet respiration produced similar respiratory rates over 1 week with intraclass correlation coefficients greater than 0.5. Platelet and monocyte bioenergetics associated with bioenergetics of skeletal and cardiac muscle, and PBMC bioenergetics correlated with gait speed, expanded …

Why do wasp induced galls of Acacia longifolia photosynthesise?
… photosynthesis never fully compensated for the respiratory costs of the galls, light-induced carboxylation within galls contributed substantially to the maintenance and growth of galls, especially in the early stages of their development. Very low levels of O₂ were found within the larval …

The ecology of three sandy beaches on the West Coast of South Africa
… mass increases with increasing exposure. The respiratory metabolisms of the three dominant isopod species are examined in chapter 6. Using multivariate analysis, the effects of mass, temperature and activity on respiratory rates were determined for each species. Analysis of the results showed …
