Abstract:
:Intermittent measurement of blood pressure (BP) is frequently performed in newborn babies under intensive care using an inflatable cuff encircling either the arm or leg. This paper describes work aimed at achieving continuous beat-by-beat measurement of the arterial pressure waveform by means of a finger cuff, the pressure of which is controlled by a feedback arrangement utilising a photoplethysmograph. Preliminary results are encouraging, but improvements to cuff design are still needed.

杂志文章abstract::We report that rat RT6.2 and recombinant mouse Rt6 locus 1 proteins possess auto-ADP-ribosyltransferase activity and that Rt6, but not RT6, catalyzes the ADP-ribosylation of exogenous histones. Based on NH2OH sensitivity, it appeared that the ADP-ribose was attached to arginine residues on proteins. We also observed t...
