Indeed, an emerging theme in homeostatic feedback is the recognition of metabolites as signaling effectors between tissues as means of physiologic integration within the body [see (Blad et al, 2012; Liu et al, 2013; Roberts et al, 2014) for examples].
It is well known, however, that mesenteric lymph is the means of physiologic circulation of not only lipids, but also of proteins and of lipoproteins, and studies point to a significant difference in the concentrations of all three of these components between pre-shock and post-shock mesenteric lymph [ 5], suggesting synergistic interplay of these bio-molecules in mediating MODS.
Since the VACS Index is predictive of all-cause mortality, MICU admission, hospitalization, fragility fractures, functional performance, and cognitive function, and is correlated with biomarkers of chronic inflammation, it may offer a means of summarizing physiologic frailty among those with HIV infection [ 82– 85, 102– 105].
For aids reported by at least 10% of subjects, we calculated the levels of physiologic control (mean A1C, mean LDL-cholesterol, and mean systolic blood pressure) for those using and not using the aid.
The mean number of the spiral arteries with failure of physiologic transformation of the myometrial segment was significantly higher in patients with preterm PROM and preeclampsia than in normal pregnant women at term (P =.006 and P <.0001, respectively).
Assessment of physiologic endometrial uptake has demonstrated mean SUVs of 5 ± 3.2 and 3.7 ± 0.9 in menstruating and ovulating patients, respectively, and 2.6 ± 1.1 and 2.5 ± 1.1 in patients in the proliferative and secretory phases, respectively[ 45 ].
If the volume of the fast space could be emptied during exercise this should increase the mean systemic vascular pressure, and would constitute a form of physiologic blood doping.
Nineteen fresh-frozen cadaver arms were mounted in neutral position and tested under axial compression at a physiologic load by means of a repeated-measures design.
Postprocessing of the acquired data allows for calculation of physiologic parameters, such as cerebral blood volume, cerebral blood flow, mean transit time, and time to peak [ 4].
His-bundle pacing (HBP) has been evaluated as an alternative means of effecting CRT because it generates truly physiologic ventricular activation, as evidenced in part by the morphologic identity between normally conducted and paced QRS complexes.
Others have evaluated the time course of gene expression during the estrous cycle in mice (Fertuck et al. 2003), as a means of determining the genomic control of this physiologic process.
