 Scientific contributions of A. V. Hill: exercise physiology pioneer -- Bassett 93 (5): 1567 -- Journal of Applied Physiology
Hill's laboratory was one of two groups that pioneered the use of pulse-wave velocity as a measure of arterial compliance
Hill's digression into applied exercise physiology was puzzling to some.
Hill and colleagues (59, 63, 64) believed that the ratio of oxygen deficit to oxygen debt was strictly 1:1.

 N-acetylcysteine - Vitacost
There are also indications that cardiopulmonary physiology is favorably affected by such therapy including improvements in chest radiograph edema scores, pulmonary vascular resistance, static compliance, oxygen delivery, and oxygen consumption.
Granulocyte depletion in animal models reduces the degree of fall in dynamic lung compliance and the increase in airflow resistance, lymph flow, and hypoxemia secondary to endotoxin administration.
Considerable evidence has recently accumulated supporting the hypothesis that leukocyte activation involves release of large quantities of highly reactive oxygen radicals, and hydrogen peroxide is partially responsible for diffuse microvascular and tissue injury in septic patients.

 eMedicine - Constrictive Pericarditis : Article by John S To, MD
Background: Constrictive pericarditis (CP) is a reduction in compliance, or stiffening, of the sack surrounding the heart that results in impaired filling.
Conversely, a patient may have constrictive physiology with subtle, diffuse thickening of the pericardium less than 3 mm, which is the upper limit of the normal range.
This technique is usually reliable in detecting constrictive physiology.

 The Worldwide Anaesthetist - Basic Lung Function
Normal lung physiology is unfortunately extremely complex, and this complexity is further enhanced in sick lungs!
We can see that if a normal lung has a volume change of 500 ml for say 2cm H20 pressure change, its compliance is 250ml/cmH20.
In normal people, the amount of shunt is tiny (perhaps 1%, reflecting venous blood from the bronchi entering the pulmonary veins, as well as coronary venous blood entering the left ventricle via the Thebesian veins!).

In my opinion, the lack of brain imaging has kept psychiatry behind medicine's other specialties, reducing our effectiveness with patients and hindering our efforts to reduce stigma and improve compliance.
Used in conjunction with clinical history and other tests, brain SPECT imaging is a powerful tool to see the underlying brain physiology of many emotional, learning or behavioral problems.
He or she will prescribe medication, psychotherapy, electroconvulsive therapy, or a host of other treatments that will change brain function—but will not know which areas of the patient's brain work well, which areas work too hard, and which do not work hard enough.

 The Physician and Sportsmedicine: Bracing
To promote compliance and achieve successful rehabilitation, physicians must understand the nature of the patient's activity, how a given brace works, the anatomy and physiology of the joint, and the patient's expectations and concerns.
Prophylactic braces may help decrease injuries for certain players in certain positions in contact sports such as football, he says; however the use of prophylactic braces is controversial.
Rehabilitation (nonplaying) knee braces are off-the-shelf devices used for conservative treatment of ligament tears and for postoperative care of meniscal repairs and other operative knee procedures (1).

 Dictionary definition of ELASTANCE
In medicine and physiology, usually a measure of the tendency of a hollow viscus (e.g., lung, urinary bladder, gallbladder) to recoil toward its original dimensions upon removal of a distending or compressing force, the recoil pressure resulting from a unit distention or compression of the viscus; the reciprocal of compliance.
The relationship between elasticity and elastance is of the same nature as that between the specific inductive capacity of an insulator material and the capacitance of a particular condenser made from that material.

Myocyte shortening at the level of the sarcomere was also approximately linear during force clamps imposed in skinned myocyte preparations.
Skinned myocyte preparations were illuminated with a helium-neon laser beam (Melles-Griot Model 05-LHP151, 5 mW output, 632·8 nm wavelength) perpendicular to the long axis of the myocyte preparation, and the position of the first-order diffraction line was monitored with a 512-element photodiode array (Reticon Model RC 105) that was scanned electronically every 0·5 ms.
