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 determinants of tissue oxygenation are illustrated in Figure 13.1. The oxygen supply to tissues is shown as the rate of O2 uptake from the microcirculation (i.e., VO2). The metabolic requirement for oxygen (MRO2) is the rate at which oxygen is metabolized to water in the mitochondria.eonardo da Vinci, 1500. Despite good intentions, much of what we do to patients in the name of aerobic support is without documented need or documented benefit. This is a reflection of the inability to obtain a direct measurement of tissue oxygen tensions.
