Dengue virus (DENV) currently circulates in more than 100 countries and causes an estimated 390 million infections per year. While most cases manifest as a self-resolving fever, ∼1.5% of infections develop into a more severe dengue hemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome (DHF/DSS), which causes
The effect of adrenal insufficiency on the plasma concentrations of two vasoactive hormones, vasopressin and angiotensin II, was studied in conscious dogs. In addition the role of vasopressin in the maintenance of blood pressure during adrenal insufficiency was studied using [1-(beta-mercapto-beta,
To evaluate the development of striatal ischemic cell damage in relation to alterations in dopamine (DA) transmission, one year old male Wistar rats underwent a 15 min incomplete cerebral ischemia (ICI) induced by occlusion of the common carotid arteries and by hypovolemic hypotension. The animals
Stimulation of ascending catecholaminergic neurones of the A1 region in ventrolateral medulla by excitatory amino acids mediate neurohypophysial vasopressin secretion triggered by hypovolemic hypotension. Recent cloning of the ionotrophic excitatory amino acid receptors of the
BACKGROUND
To investigate the effects of Tyrphostin Ag 556 on spinal cord ischemia reperfusion injury.
METHODS
The inhibition of tyrosine kinase may represent a novel approach in the treatment of spinal cord ischemia reperfusion injury. Recently, a family of tyrosine kinase inhibitors, the
Background: Hypovolemic shock and septic challenge are two major causes of acute kidney injury (AKI) in the clinic setting. Src homology 2 domain-containing phosphatase 2 (SHP2) is one of the major protein phosphatase tyrosine phosphatase
Gut is very sensitive to hypoperfusion and hypoxia, and deranged gastrointestinal barrier is implicated in systemic failure of various organs. We recently demonstrated that diphenyldihaloketone EF24 [3,5-bis(2-fluorobenzylidene)piperidin-4-one] improves survival in a rat model of hemorrhagic shock.
BACKGROUND
Tyrosinemia type 1 (TT1) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by deficiency of the enzyme fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH). TT1 usually presents in infancy with features suggestive of liver disease or with sepsis-like symptoms.
METHODS
We report two Saudi siblings with TT1. Case 1
Pre-eclampsia (PE) is the most frequently encountered medical complication during pregnancy. It is characterized by a rise in systemic vascular resistance with a relatively low cardiac output and hypovolemia, combined with severe proteinuria. Despite the hypovolemia, renin-angiotensin system (RAS)
Cancer patients experience kidney injury from multiple sources, including the tumor itself, diagnostic procedures, hypovolemia, infection, and drug exposure, superimposed upon baseline chronic damage. This review will focus on cytotoxic or targeted chemotherapy-associated renal injury. In this
