Review / Test Hawke Frontier APO 10x42 vs Nikon Monarch HG 8x42 - Binoculars - Cloudy Nights » Review / Test Hawke Frontier APO 10x42 vs Nikon Monarch HG 8x42 - posted in Binoculars: Hello friends,   I introduce a new binocular, comparatively I use my existing one. I can only use my existing, well known Nikon Monarch HG 8x42. At places where apples and oranges appear, I point this out. The binoculars Nikon Monarch HG 8x42 are called Nikon MHG, the Hawke Frontier APO 10x42 is called Hawke APO. This review is very dry, a comparison report in nature is planned. English is not my n… Cloudynights.com

Under Pressure: Right Heart Catheterization and Provocative Testing for Diagnosing Pulmonary Hypertension » Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a heterogenous disorder involving multiple pathophysiological processes that ultimately affect the vasculature within the lungs. Right heart catheterization (RHC) continues to be the benchmark for diagnosing PH. The use… Ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Pulmonary Capillary Wedge Pressure » Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) is frequently used to assess left ventricular filling, represent left atrial pressure, and assess mitral valve function. It is measured by inserting a balloon-tipped, multi-lumen catheter (Swan-Ganz catheter) into a central vein and advancing the catheter into a branch of the pulmonary artery. The balloon is then inflated, which occludes the branch of the pulmonary artery and then provides a pressure reading that is equivalent to the pressure of the left atrium. Ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
