PREPARING INFUSIONS AND MONITORING PHYSIOLOGY

这个子项目是利用资源的许多研究子项目之一 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。次级项目的主要支助 而子项目的主要调查员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括其它NIH来源。 为子项目列出的总成本可能 代表子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， 而不是由NCRR赠款提供给子项目或子项目工作人员的直接资金。 多名调查人员需要空间进行访谈、体检、抽血和简单的生理测试或其他评估。 综合临床研究中心和其他类似的设施都在UTSWMC的一个单独的校园里，因此对患者来说非常不方便。 因此，AIRC完成并装备了一个新的房间，12乘20英尺，专为人类生理学研究，这是提供给研究人员在RR。 该房间配备了MR兼容的输液泵、葡萄糖和乳酸分析仪、用于测量底物利用率的最先进的Vmax Encore VS 29 n间接量热系统、EKG机和用于样品制备的小型离心机。不同兴趣的研究人员，包括但不限于功能性脑成像（fMRI）和肝脏和肌肉代谢，受益于人类生理学支持服务提供的护理和行政帮助。 这个房间是由Abate、Jin和Szuszkiewicz博士设计的。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. Multiple investigators need space for interviews, physical exams, blood drawing and simple physiological testing or other evaluations. The General Clinical Research Center and other similarly equipped facilities are on a separate campus at UTSWMC and for this reason are quite inconvenient for patients. Therefore, the AIRC finished and equipped a new room, 12 by 20 feet, designed for human physiology studies, that is available to investigators in the RR. The room is equipped with MR compatible infusion pumps, a glucose and lactate analyzer, a state-of-the-art Vmax Encore VS29n Indirect Calorimetry System used to measure substrate utilization, an EKG machine, and a small centrifuge used for sample preparation. Researchers with varied interests, including, but not limited to, functional brain imaging (fMRI) and liver and muscle metabolism, benefit from the nursing and administrative help provided by the Human Physiology Support Services. The room was designed by Drs. Abate, Jin and Szuszkiewicz.
