Are peripheral conduit and resistance artery function improved following a single , 1-h bout of peristaltic pulse external pneumatic compression?
Acutely, whole limb, lower pressure EPC improves conduit artery endothelial function systemically, but only improves RH blood flow locally (i.e., compressed limbs).
Home-based management of neonates with suspected sepsis is acceptable to most parents, safe, and effective in reducing sepsis case fatality by nearly 60%. With proper selection, training, and supervision of health workers, this method may be applicable in areas in developing countries where access to hospital care is limited.
