Cardiorespiratory activity

An obvious explanation for the stress-inducing effects of short SRTs as foimd by our group is the increase in workload due to higher work density, which is in accordance with elevated cardiorespiratory achvity (top of the third and fourth columns of Table 14.1). However, since increased cardiorespiratory activity can be regarded as a main marker variable for physical strain (Boucsein, 1993), it should be verified that our results were not mediated by an increased amount of physical activity required under short as compared to long SRTs.

The nervous system can be divided into three parts the central nervous system (CNS), the peripheral nervous system (PNS), and the autonomic nervous system (ANS) (Dawson et al. 2003). The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord. The PNS resides outside the CNS and forms a network to collect information from sensory responses. The ANS is identified by primary ganglia of the head and neck, sympathetic chain and adrenal gland (Gabella and Larry 2009). The primary function of the nervous system is to receive input from the environment and innervate muscle tissues in response. To accomplish this task, neurons, which are the basic unit of the functional nervous system (Dawson et al. 2003), form a highly specific interconnecting network from the brain to the spinal cord. There are 12 paired cranial nerve and 31 paired spinal nerve connections between the CNS and the PNS, which result in motor/ efferent, sensory/afferent, or mixed function. Furthermore, internal environments such as cardiorespiratory activities, glandular secretions, vasodilatation and genital erectile tissue responses are monitored by an array of visceral receptors, chemoreceptors, and stretch receptors via autonomic nerves from the CNS (Keller et al. 2009). 

Carcinogenic activity. The dried leaf, administered intraperitoneally to rats of both sexes at a dose of 7 mg/kg/week, was active. The animals were irradiated with y radiation between 40 and 50 days of age and observed for 78 weeks. There was a greater incidence of tumors in animals given marijuana extract and y radiation than either marihuana or y radiation alone Cardiorespiratory effect. Fifty stable patients (25 males, 25 females) with methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) programs were investigated. Forty-six MMT...

An increase in physical activity can create an energy deficit, and is an important component of weight loss treatments. In addition, physical activity increases cardiorespiratory fitness and reduces Ihe risk of cardiovascular disease, independent of weight loss. Persons who combine caloric restriction and exercise with behavioral treatment may expect to lose about five to ten percent of preintervention body weight over a period of four to six months. Exercise is an essential component of maintaining weight reduction.

An 81-year-old man underwent CT scanning of the head with intravenous contrast enhancement (100 ml of the non-ionic contrast medium iopamidol). After the injection he complained of sweating and nausea and had a cardiorespiratory arrest. Immediate resuscitation and intravenous dexamethasone and adrenaline were not successful. Mast cell tryptase activity in a sample taken 4 hours after death was high. At autopsy, the coronary and pulmonary arteries were patent. The right heart chambers were moderately enlarged. The lungs were hyperemic and edematous and there was obstructive edema of the larynx.

As a result of the World War I experience, it was clear that cardiorespiratory damage resulting from toxic inhalant exposures could severely limit exercise capacity. Of primary concern, however, was whether exercise undertaken after a toxic inhalant exposure could, in some way, exacerbate the effects of that exposure and thus increase the morbidity or mortality of exposed individuals. This was a particularly practical concern in light of the military needs to return soldiers to active duty as soon as possible and to require soldiers to participate (insofar as they appeared able) in their own evacuation. 

Death A 46-year-old man died from cardiorespiratory failure due to the additive effects of tramadol and nicotine. Femoral blood contained tramadol 6.6 mg/1, nicotine 0.6 mg/1, and cotinine, its active metabolite, 2.0 mg/1 [194 ].
