(1) Plasma ketamine and norketamine concentrations after a 4-hour infusion and immediately after determination of the VADE were similar for any given ketamine infusion rate, indicating that steady-state plasma concentrations had been reached for each infusion rate.
(2) The effect of ketamine administration on the ventricular arrhythmogenic dose of epinephrine (VADE) was studied in 4 halothane-anesthetized cats.
(3) Ketamine infusion significantly (P less than 0.01) lowered the VADE independently of dose.
(4) Blood pressure and heart rate were measured immediately before (base line) and immediately after infusion of the VADE.
(5) Less epinephrine was necessary to induce a change in P-wave configuration than was necessary to induce 4 or more ventricular premature depolarizations within 15 s. Blood samples were collected after 4 hours of ketamine infusion and again immediately after determination of the VADE for analysis of plasma ketamine and norketamine concentrations by use of gas chromatography.
Vane
Definition:
(n.) A contrivance attached to some elevated object for the purpose of showing which way the wind blows; a weathercock. It is usually a plate or strip of metal, or slip of wood, often cut into some fanciful form, and placed upon a perpendicular axis around which it moves freely.
(n.) Any flat, extended surface attached to an axis and moved by the wind; as, the vane of a windmill; hence, a similar fixture of any form moved in or by water, air, or other fluid; as, the vane of a screw propeller, a fan blower, an anemometer, etc.
(n.) The rhachis and web of a feather taken together.
(n.) One of the sights of a compass, quadrant, etc.
Example Sentences:
(1) One significant concern involves the rotary vane aspirators used to provide the suction required for the procedure.
(2) Indicators for use of variable-width multi-vane electron arc collimators include the following: (1) Mechanical constraints of the therapy equipment may limit the placement of isocenter to an inadequate depth which causes large variation in the SSD around the arc; (2) Out of the central plane, the shape of the chest wall may change dramatically across the limits of the arc, creating large variations in the dose distribution; (3) Clinical definition of the treatment surface to include surgical scars or other at-risk volume may create an irregularly shaped treatment surface, thereby changing the fraction of the arc included in the treatment surface from one plane to the next.
(3) The appendages consist of a delicate bilateral vane 2 mum wide on either side of the axis, composed of extremely fine overlapping or interwoven fibrils.
(4) As a result, they presented such symptoms as abnormality in the vane of remiges, undergrowth, anemia, and leg paralysis.

(7) Innovative techniques in motion control technology have been applied to the design and implementation of a portable computer-controlled multi-vane collimator for use in electron arc therapy.
(8) In the first animal experiment using nonoptimized vanes, there was no thrombus at the back plane or the seal, and only a small thrombus at the transition between axle and rotor.
(9) Both mathematic computation of velocity distribution in the impeller and geometric illustration of the velocity triangle at the top of the vane have demonstrated that the peripheral velocity variation of blood cells in a twisted impeller will be less than that in an untwisted impeller.
(10) His father, Samuel, was a lay preacher and art metal worker, who designed a weather-vane for one of the civic buildings in Blackpool.
(11) The background was either a static homogeneous disk, a flickered homogeneous disk, a static radially-vaned disk, or a rotating vaned disk, all of equivalent space- and time-averaged luminance.
(12) Rabbit aortic strips were arranged in a Vane's cascade and superfused with Krebs buffer which contained phenylephrine hydrochloride (100 nM) and indomethacin (5 microM).
(13) The key to the question is to design a three-dimensional impeller with twisted vanes, compacted by an axial helical spiral and a radial logarithmic spiral so as to reduce the turbulent shear in the pump as the impeller changes its rotations per minute periodically to generate a physiologic pulsatile flow.
(14) Vane's hypothesis is supported by this study of PG induced experimental arthritis.
