Is regeneration of injured intestinal mucosa impaired in hepatocyte growth factor activator-deficient mice?
These results indicate that HGFA is required for repair of injured intestinal mucosa but is not essential for normal development during embryogenesis or after birth.
In this model of exsanguination, retinal venous oxygen saturation correlates with blood volume and with central venous oxygen saturation. The SraO2 correlates with SaO2 during graded hypoxia. Use of an eye oximeter to noninvasively monitor trauma patients appears promising and warrants further study.
