A hand-held, servo-controlled tissue palpation device (SCPD) was developed to measure the pressure pain characteristics of human tissue for disease states linked to altered pressure-pain sensitivity.
This was explained by the prolonged relaxation and altered pressure-volume chamber relations [ 24].
The conversion or processing of shale, coal, or petroleum involves elevated temperatures and altered pressures, and under these conditions polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons are likely to form.
The ability to transiently alter pressure is clinically measured using an index referred to as the baroreflex sensitivity (La Rovere et al. 2008).
For instance, McCormick et al. [ 23] have shown that control insoles alter pressure distributions relative to a no insole condition, and this pressure shift could affect KAM magnitude [ 4].
However, recent evidence has suggested that even flat insoles can alter pressure distributions under the foot during gait [ 23], and thus it remains a possibility that KAMs could be influenced as well.
Caveat: 10 μl is a large volume to infuse into the CSF of a mouse and it is possible that the infusion may alter pressures and flows with the brain.
NSAIDs may cause altered blood pressure, with average increases in mean arterial pressure of between 5 and 10 mmHg.
The fact that we were unable to detect any blood pressure increases even with radiotelemetry, suggests the possibility that altered blood pressure buffering played a role.
Finally, compound 21 neither alone, nor in combination with losartan altered blood pressure, confirming that its beneficial effects are largely blood pressure-independent [ 98].
This amount of lead is capable of enhancing systolic arterial pressure without altering diastolic pressure or heart rate.
