Article Synopsis
- Repetitive stress from pain can trigger anticipatory cardiovascular changes in response to expected pain, and this study investigates how nitrous oxide/oxygen inhalation affects these responses.
- Researchers measured blood pressure, heart rate, and arterial stiffness in young adults before and after a cold pressor test while using either nitrous oxide or a placebo.
- Findings suggest that while 40% nitrous oxide reduces vascular stiffness and heart rate responses during pain anticipation, the body still shows a feedforward increase in heart rate with repeated pain experiences.
Objective: Tube feeders are prone to membranous substance formation on the palate, and those with membranous substances have a risk of fever, with the probable involvement of their oral bacteria. However, the palatal microbiota of those with membranous substances has not been elucidated. Therefore, we evaluated the differences in palatal microbiota between tube-fed individuals with and without membranous substances to clarify the microbiota.

Therefore, this study aimed to clarify the origin of viscous deposits on the pharyngeal mucosa based on characteristics of salivary and tracheal secretory mucin. The participants were 35 elderly people who required nursing care.

Background: Several investigators have reported membranous substances deposited in the mouths of bedridden elderly persons requiring nursing care without oral intake. However, the precise nature and origin of the substances are poorly understood.
