Regadenoson, sold under the brand name Lexiscan among others, is an A 2A adenosine receptor agonist that is a coronary vasodilator that is commonly used in pharmacologic stress testing. It produces hyperemia quickly and maintains it for a duration that is useful for radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging . [ 1 ]

The most basic way to use the START classifications is to transport victims in a fixed priority manner: immediate victims, followed by delayed victims, followed by the walking wounded. [2] More detailed secondary triage systems such as SAVE may also be used: in this case, the START classifications are used to determine the order in which ...
Pharmacologic agents such as adenosine, regadenoson (Lexiscan), or dipyridamole is generally used when a patient cannot achieve adequate work level with treadmill exercise, or has poorly controlled hypertension or left bundle branch block. However, an exercise stress test may provide more information about exercise tolerance than a ...
Primer walking is a method to determine the sequence of DNA up to the 1.3–7.0 kb range whereas chromosome walking is used to produce the clones of already known sequences of the gene. [2] Too long fragments cannot be sequenced in a single sequence read using the chain termination method. This method works by dividing the long sequence into ...
When the data were reanalyzed utilising the original protocol, the rate of improvement was only 21%, and recovery was just 4%. [19] While trial participants reported subjective improvement, there was no clinically significant improvement in fitness according to the 6-minute walk test, an objective outcome.
Nordic walking (originally Finnish sauvakävely) is fitness walking with specially designed poles.While trekkers, backpackers, and skiers had been using the basic concept for decades, Nordic walking was first formally defined with the publication of "Hiihdon lajiosa" (translation: "A part of cross-country skiing training methodic") by Mauri Repo in 1979.
