Book Description
This book describes the basic, pathophysiologic, and clinical importance of the reciprocal relationships and interactions between the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, examining mechanical responses caused by lung volume and thoracic pressure. Emphasizes humoral and neurophysical interactions occurring in diseases that lead to cardiorespiratory failure. Covering pulmonary mechanics, respiratory muscle function, exercise physiology, and control of venous return and cardiac output, Respiratory-Circulatory Interactions in Health and Disease · focuses on mechanisms of heart failure in respiratory disease · details the central interactions in sudden infant death syndrome · considers the control of tissue metabolism, the development of the sympathetic nervous system, mathematical modeling, and image analysis as a tool for investigating cardiocirculatory function · examines the effects of muscle reflexes on respiration and circulation · analyzes systemic inflammatory response and chronic obstructive lung disease · discusses respiratory maneuvers to support failing circulation and ventilation · addresses current controversies surrounding the balloon-tipped catheter · debates using inhaled nitrous oxide to treat circulatory failure · and more! Supplying a rational basis for understanding the ways in which the cardiovascular and respiratory systems interact in normal and abnormal situations, Respiratory-Circulatory Interactions in Health and Disease is a blue-ribbon reference for cardiologists; pulmonologists; physiologists; intensivists; cardiothoracic surgeons; anesthesiologists; asthmatologists; health care practitioners interested in chest, pulmonary, and thoracic medicine; and medical school students in these disciplines.

A Great Intro to the Circulatory System.......2006-10-01
Physiology books can seem intimidating for those of us with no background in the subject, and introductory books like this one can help ease novices into the subject without overwhelming us. I read this book first before reading my regular medical school physiology textbooks, and it was a huge help for getting a general overview of the circulatory and respiratory systems. The writing style is similar to the other books in Sompayrac's "How it Works" series, so if you liked those, you'll probably like this one too. I would say that this book is written at about the level of an intelligent layman or maybe a college student, which is why it's such a huge help for beginning health science students. That being said, it's definitely NOT enough to get you through your cardio block on its own. Read this book first, and then read your assigned cardio textbook and/or Linda Constanzo's Physiology chapter 4 (Cardiovascular System), and that will give you a good foundation for further study.
Book Description
Asks and answers questions about heart, blood, and circulatory system. Appropriate for middle school, high school, and non-physician adults. Includes information on heart action, palpitations, heart attacks, leeches, transplants, blood chemistry, and the importance of diet, exercise, and not smoking in maintain cardiovascular health

Helps Medical Students.......2006-03-23
I'm currently going to school to finish my pre-req's to become a nurse. I was informed of this book by another classmate. It's very well detailed and very understable using layman's terms.
It was a great help for me because I aced the quiz the teacher gave us about the circulatory system! I would recommend this book for anyone about to take phlebotomy or medical assisting.

Another great Seymour Simon book. Enjoy and don't forget to share it with the other kids in your class.
The Heart : Our Circulatory System........2000-01-20
Like "The Brain", this is a great book with a step by step tour into the heart, its location, the chambers, circulation, and different kinds of blood cells. The pictures are amazing and makes one want to read. An excellent scientific health/well being book with excellent color illustrations. I would recommend this book to teachers and students from the 3rd grade through the 10th grades.
An excellent book........1997-04-28
My son (7 years old) and I were both entranced by this book. Simon describes our circulatory system in detail, with concrete comparisons that children can easily relate to. He is systematic and complete, yet fascinating. The book also has beautiful, full-page, color illustrations, most of which are electron microscope photographs. A great book
Customer Reviews:
Informative and functional.......2004-05-19
Simple, but informative, discussion of the heart and the circulatory system. Book design and illustrations are functional, however the photos are good. Ends with a good "words you know" review of vocabulary. Includes an index. Karen Woodworth-Roman, Children's Science Book Review
Book Description
Hemodynamic monitoring is one of the major diagnostic tools available in the acute care setting to diagnose cardiovascular insufficiency and monitor changes over time in response to interventions. However, the rationale and efficacy of hemodynamic monitoring to affect outcome has come into question. We now have increasing evidence that outcome from critical illness can be improved by focused resuscitation based on existing hemodynamic monitoring, whereas non-specific aggressive resuscitation impairs survival. Thus, this book frames hemodynamic monitoring into a functional perspective wherein hemodynamic variables and physiology interact to derive performance and physiological reserve estimates that themselves drive treatment. This philosophy, as well as the limitations and applications of common and evolving hemodynamic measures and their focused use in the care of critically ill patients are discussed, relevant to one underlying truth: No monitoring device, no matter how simple or sophisticated, will improve patient-centered outcomes useless coupled to a treatment which, itself, improves outcome.

Description:
Adsorption of anionic surfactant (sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, SDBS) and nonionic surfactant (an alcohol ethoxylates with 12 carbons and 9 oxyethyl groups, A"1"2E"9) mixtures, widely used as the major constituents of synthetic detergents in China and become the most common pollutants in the environment, on soils was conducted to investigate the behavior of mixed surfactants in soils. The effects of addition order and mixing ratios of two surfactants, associated with pH and ion strength in solutions, on adsorptions were considered. The results show that saturated adsorption amount of SDBS and A"1"2E"9 on soils decreased respectively when A"1"2E"9 was added into soils firstly compared with that secondly, possibly resulting from the screening of A"1"2E"9 to part adsorption sites on soils and the hydrocarbon chain-chain interactions between SDBS and A"1"2E"9. The adsorption of SDBS and A"1"2E"9 on soils was enhanced each other at pre-plateau region of isotherms. At plateau region of isotherms, the adsorption of SDBS on soils decreased with the increase of molar fraction of A"1"2E"9 in mixed surfactant solutions, while that of A"1"2E"9 increased except the molar ratio of SDBS to A"1"2E"9 0.0:1.0. With the increase of pH in mixed surfactant solutions, adsorption amount of SDBS and A"1"2E"9 on soils decreased, respectively. The reduction of ion strength in soils resulted in the decrease of adsorption amount of SDBS and A"1"2E"9 on soils, respectively.

Description:
Batch experiments were performed to examine the desorption behavior of phenanthrene and pyrene in soil-water system in the presence of nonionic surfactant Tween 80 and dissolved organic matter (DOM) derived from pig manure or pig manure compost. Addition of 150mgl^-^1 Tween 80 desorbed 5.8% and 2.1% of phenanthrene and pyrene from soil into aqueous phase, respectively, while the addition of both Tween 80 and DOM derived from pig manure compost and pig manure could further enhance the desorption of phenanthrene to 15.8% and 16.2%, respectively, and 6.4% and 10.9%, respectively, for pyrene. In addition, our finding also suggested that subsequent addition of Tween 80 into the soil-water system could further enhance PAHs desorption. The enhancement effect of the co-existence of Tween 80 and DOM was more than the additive effect of the Tween 80 and DOM individually. It is likely that the formation of DOM-surfactant complex in the soil-water system may be a possible reason to explain such desorption enhancement phenomenon. Therefore, it is anticipated that the coexistence of both Tween 80 and DOM derived from pig manure or pig manure compost in soil environment will enhance the bioavailability of PAHs as well as other hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs) by enhancing the desorption during remediation process.

Description:
Amphiphilic polyurethane (APU) nanoparticles were synthesized through crosslinking polymerization of nano-aggregates of urethane acrylate nonionomer (UAN). The efficiency of in situ extraction of sorbed phenanthrene from aquifer material was tested using soil columns and compared with that of surfactants such as Triton X-100, Brij 30, and Tween 80. The extraction efficiency of those washing materials strongly depended on their concentration, flow rate, and the degree of sorption within soil column. That is, the extraction efficiency increased with the decrease of flow rate and the degree of sorption and the increase of the concentration. Even though the surfactants are superior to APU nanoparticles at solubilizing phenanthrene, at the same flow rate (0.02mL/min) and concentration (4000mg/L), the effectiveness of in situ soil washing of APU nanoparticles was about two times higher than those of surfactants. This is because, at the lower flow rates, the degree of sorption of APU nanoparticles was lower than that of surfactants, owing to the chemically crosslinked nature of APU nanoparticles.

Description:
The effect of a nonionic surfactant, Triton X-100 (TX100), on the distribution of four representative polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), phenanthrene, fluorene, acenaphthene and naphthalene, in soil-water system was studied on a natural soil. The apparent soil-water distribution coefficient with surfactant (K"d^*) for these compounds increased when TX100 equilibrium concentration from zero to around the critical micelle concentration (CMC), followed by a decrease in K"d^* at TX100 equilibrium concentration greater than CMC. This is a direct result of surfactant sorption onto soil followed by PAHs partitioning to the sorbed surfactant. The values of carbon-normalized solute distribution coefficient (K"s"s) with the sorbed TX100 are greater than the corresponding partition coefficients with soil organic matter (K"o"c), which indicates the soil-sorbed nonionic surfactant is more effective per unit mass as a partitioning medium than the native soil organic matter for PAHs. When K"d^*=K"d the corresponding initial concentration of surfactant was defined as critical washing concentration (CWC). Depending on the surfactant initial concentration below or above the CWC, the addition of nonionic surfactant can enhance the retardation of soil for PAHs or promote the removal of PAHs from soil, respectively. The values of K"d^* and CWC can be predicted by a model, which correlates them with the compounds' octanol-water partition coefficients (K"o"w), soil property and the amount of soil-sorbed surfactant.
