While my son is no longer a baby, Im happy to say I still get to buy baby presents this holiday. I just purchased a cute little t-shirt at my local gift store for my 7 month old nephew. At that age, you are really buying for the parents and couldnt stop laughing at the green t-shirt, Im composting right now. It got me to searching online for other funny baby and expectant parents t-shirts. I put together some of my favorites. Hopefully your local store carries them. If not, Ive also found them online at Zazzle and CafePress.com and some other smaller sites. These make great holiday gifts.

Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the acute microcirculatory effects of remote ischemic preconditioning on a distinct cutaneous location at the lower extremity which is typically used as a harvesting site for free flap reconstructive surgery in a human in-vivo setting.

Methods

Microcirculatory data of 27 healthy subjects (25 males, age 24+/-4yrs, BMI 23.3) were evaluated continuously at the anterolateral aspect of the left thigh during RIPC using combined Laser-Doppler and photospectrometry (Oxygen-to-see,Lea Medizintechnik,Germany). Read full article…
