categorized as early‚ late‚ variable‚ or prolonged. FHR decelerations are defined according to their visual relationship to the onset and end of a contraction and by their shape. Early decelerations Visually apparent gradual decrease in and return to the baseline FHR associated with uterine contractions. The onset‚ nadir‚ and recovery of the deceleration generally correspond to the beginning‚ peak‚ and end of the contraction. Early decelerations are thought to be cause by transient fetal head compression

periodontal diseases.59 The biologic mechanisms through which diabetes influences the periodontium are discussed in Chapter 12. The increased prevalence and severity of periodontitis commonly seen in patients with diabetes‚ especially those with poor metabolic control‚ led to the designation of periodontal disease as the "sixth complication of diabetes."" In addition to the five "classic" complications of diabetes (Box 13-2)‚ the American Diabetes Association has officially recognized that periodontal

The carcinogenic nature of N-nitrosamines depends on the organs. For example‚ their targets for cancer in rodents include thyroid‚ pancreas‚ urinary bladder‚ trachea‚ lung‚ oral and nasal cavities‚ esophagus‚ kidney and liver. With respect to N-nitrosamides‚ skin‚ bone‚ peripheral nervous system‚ brain‚ small intestine and glandular stomach are targeted organs for cancers. Besides cancer‚ acute myelocytic leukemia and T and B cell lymphoma have also been triggered by N-nitrosamides. In table 8.1

Results My fish was administered Ketamine and a change of operculum movements was seen when you compare the baseline average of Table 1 to the operculum movements when the drug was introduced in Table 2. This difference marked a behavioral abnormality of the fish and consequently the drug dispensation was stopped. Another abnormality in behavior was the fish having rhythmic breathing and swimming compared to erratic breathing and stationary movement. It appears that the operculum movements increased

the mean (n = 33) of the relative changes in the slope between forearm perfusion immediately after strenuous physical exercise and blood flow occlusion. Measurements were taken at 30 second intervals for 4 minutes. Trend shows a gradual return to baseline perfusion post exercise and an initial sharp decline and then a gradual levelling off post occlusion. A t-test (paired and equal variance) between post exercise post occlusion yielded a significant P value (P<0.05). The error bars comprise SEM
