8 doctors agreed: Possibly: It depends some on your age and past history. Diverticulitis, an infection of the colon, can sometimes show a lot of thickening on ct scan. That can be hard to tell if the infection caused the swelling, or if a tumor is causing the thickening. It is common to recommend a colonoscopy several weeks after the diverticulitis had healed, if you have not already had one.
Maximal Oxygen Uptake. VO2 Max is defined as the highest rate of oxygen consumption attainable during maximal or exhaustive exercise. The terms VO2max, aerobic power, aerobic capacity, and maximal oxygen uptake are all terms used interchangeably. VO2max is widely accepted as the standard gauge of cardiorespiratory fitness.
The balance between oxygen uptake by the body tissues and oxygen delivery to them is assessed by: The oxygen content of mixed venous blood CvO2, which is normally about 15 ml/100 ml. The extraction ratio, which is the ratio of VO2 to DO2 expressed as a percentage. Normally the extraction ratio is about 25% but can double to 50% if tissue demand increases.
