NICO measures cardiac output from partial carbon dioxide rebreathing by a differential Fick method.(25) The NICO monitor is specified to work under carbon dioxide levels between 0 and 150 mmHg.
Sample text:```After 50 min of acclimatization and cardiovascular recordings, measurements of the respiratory frequency (Rf) were also performed by using the whole-body plethysmography method (20).```

Sample text:```These results are in line with morphological abnormalities in a rabbit model of pneumococcal meningitis [8, 47], in neonatal and adult rat models [7, 51] and in human autopsy cases [20].```

Sample text:```The admission assessment included determining the risk factors for cerebral infarction,13,14 clinical ischemic stroke category (National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke1), and disease severity using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale.15

Abbreviations
AF = Atrial fibrillation
LAA = Left atrial appendage
LAA eV = LAA emptying flow velocity
LAD = Left atrial dimension
LAWV = LAA peak wall velocity
ROC = Receiver operating characteristic
SEC = Spontaneous echocardiographic contrast
TEE = Transesophageal echocardiography
TTE = Transthoracic echocardiography
We defined patients who had no histories of AF and no documented AF on continuous electrocardiographic monitoring during hospitalization as the sinus rhythm group, patients who had histories of AF before admission and/or continuously documented AF on continuous electrocardiographic monitoring during hospitalization as having chronic AF, and patients who had AF at admission and recovered to normal sinus rhythm during hospitalization and/or showed sinus rhythm at admission and documented transient AF on continuous electrocardiographic monitoring during hospitalization as having paroxysmal AF.```

Sample text:```Trials were considered eligible if they satisfied the following inclusion criteria: (1) RCTs comparing RIC versus no conditioning in patients with AMI; (2) patients were treated by primary PCI or thrombolysis; (3) RIC was induced by intermittent limb ischemia–reperfusion; and (4) trials at least reported one of the following outcome measures, including enzymatic myocardial infarction size as assessed by serum peak creatine```

Sample text:```Between four and seven days after the VO2peak test, each participant returned to the laboratory to perform a test to verify the power output required to elicit the requisite VO2peak for each training session, i.e. 80% VO2peak.```

Sample text:```The items are internally consistent and reproducible and the questionnaire may therefore be considered to have at least as favourable levels of reliability as clinical scores used to assess outcomes (Koran 1975).```

Sample text:```The present observations support and extend earlier contentions that Parkinson patients prefer to adopt a closedloop control mode, adjusting their movements continuously on the basis of available visual information (Flowers 1976).```

Sample text:```Similarly, in a study on 60 subjects, blinks were measured at the beginning and end of a working day (Caffier et al., 2003). Although no significant difference between alert and drowsy phases was found, a slightly decreased blink rate during drowsy phase was reported. However, these results contradict the findings of Morris and Miller (1996) about the efficiency of F in a moving base-flight simulator with 10 sleep-deprived pilots.```
