Usage Information
Abstract
The objectives of this study were to test the hypothesis in awake dogs that during control conditions endocardial vessels are maximally dilated and to determine whether variables introduced by general anesthesia and thoracotomy modify distribution of myocardial blood flow or impair capacity for augmentation of flow in response to a coronary vasodilator stimulus. Myocardial blood flow was measured in relatively small, 2-3 g, left ventricular epicardial and endocardial samples by using 7-10-μm radioisotope-labeled microspheres during control conditions and during infusion of adenosine in dosages which produced maximum increases in coronary blood flow. Measurements were made initially in awake resting animals and were repeated after pentobarbital anesthesia, thoracotomy, and pericardiotomy.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
