Abstract: Techniques for determining a volume of exhaled CO2 as a function of time using side-stream capnography, including obtaining flow dynamics measurements of a subject from a flow sensor; obtaining CO2 concentration measurements of the subject from a side-stream CO2 monitor; determining a duration of time (?Tsl) for a sample of gas to flow from a reference point to the side-stream CO2 monitor; synchronizing in time the CO2 concentration measurement with the flow dynamics measurement, based on the determined ?Tsl; and determining a volume of CO2 exhaled as a function of time, based on the flow dynamics measurement and the synchronized CO2 concentration measurement.

Abstract: There is provided an oral nasal cannula for sampling breath of a subject, including a main body portion, having formed therein a suction port which is adapted to be connected to a suction device for side sampling of exhaled breath of the subject, at least one nasal prong integrally formed with the main body portion and adapted to collect nasally exhaled breath of the subject and an oral scoop, integrally formed with the main body portion and adapted to collect orally exhaled breath of the subject.

Abstract: A theory has been presented that provides a simplified explanation of a cohesive mechanism of embryological development, hemostasis, coagulation, wound repair and tissue maintenance that operates continuously in the animal body to oppose the effects of stress. The theory endeavors to fit all known facts, and is based on the hypothesis that coagulation Factors VII and VIII are respectively local and systemic stress agents that regulate thrombin activity and synergize each other's effects. Stress Theory may explain the etiologies of several hitherto mysterious disease syndromes, and the stress mechanism and may play a more pervasive role in disease than is generally appreciated. The theory offers fresh avenues for research and clinical strategy.

Abstract: There is provided a gas analyzer, including a radiation source, an analytical space through which passes the gas to be analyzed, at least one detector for detecting the intensity of radiation passing through the space, apparatus for facilitating the alternating introduction, into the space, of the gas to be analyzed and a reference gas having a concentration located at least in the upper half of the range of concentrations to be measured by the gas analyzer. The analyzer further includes processing apparatus, having a memory device, to process signals originating in the detector, the memory device adapted to store in a first mode of operation, signals representing instantaneous intensity values of the detected source and, in a second mode of operation, to store signals representing intensity values obtained when the analytical space is filled with the reference gas, a circuit for comparing the instantaneous values with the reference value, and an indicator device for indicating concentration.

Abstract: The invention provides essentially a two-piece separable mount for detachably fixing a vehicle accessory, such as a "CB" radio antenna, to a body part of a vehicle, e.g., the lid of the vehicle trunk.
