Pages:

513–8

Synopsis:

This study investigated the effect of mild hypothermia on prothrombin and partial thromboplastin time, platelet count, fibrinogen, blood pressure and heart rate in rabbits. The coagulation mechanism was not clinically affected by mild hypothermia, while haemodynamic responses were significantly suppressed.

ABSTRACT

Objective: Hypothermia has been associated with coagulation defects. The purpose of this experimental study was to investigate the effect of mild hypothermia on clinically used coagulation tests and on haemodynamic variables.

Impact of Yoga on Haemodynamic Function in Healthy Medical Students

Issue:

Vol 60, issue 2 (2011)

Pages:

148–52

Synopsis:

Yoga is a healing system of theory and practice, and is a combination of breathing exercises, physical postures, and meditation. Its practice, even for a short period, shows the capability to improve most of the cardiovascular functions in young healthy adults.

ABSTRACT

Objectives: Yoga improves cardiovascular health in both healthy individuals and those with diagnosed heart disease. This study compares changes in some cardiovascular parameters before and after the practice of Yoga in healthy medical students.
