The alpha-adrenergic agonists have been demonstrated to have synergistic effects with opioids and local anesthetics in animal research. The present study was performed to determine whether the addition of adrenaline improves the analgesic effects of an epidural infusion of a combination of fentanyl
OBJECTIVE
The most commonly used drug for the facilitation of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) induction in the electrophysiological (EP) laboratory is isoprenaline. Despite isoprenaline's apparent indispensability, availability has been problematic in some European countries. Alternative
OBJECTIVE
To determine the effect of lavage with adrenaline solution on CO2 absorption during retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery.
METHODS
Sixty patients scheduled to undergo retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery were divided into an AD group (lavage with normal saline containing adrenaline
In this report, we present the symptoms, biochemical investigations, 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure and heart rate recordings in a patient before and following removal of a predominantly adrenaline-secreting phaeochromocytoma. The symptoms were of episodic shaking, faintness, nausea,
A 68-year-old ex-smoker man with history of allergy, presented to the emergency department with progressive dyspnea one hour following self-medication with aspirin for troublesome headache. Examination revealed diffuse sibilant rhonchi over both lungs. Electrocardiogram showed signs of ischemia. In
BACKGROUND
Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is characterized by acute severe thunderclap headaches and evidence of multifocal, segmental, reversible vasoconstrictions of the cerebral arteries. Several precipitating factors have been identified and reported, including the use of
The paper presents an analysis of the influence of 10 sessions of phototherapy (exposure to bright white light, 3300 lux) in 9 children with episodic headache of tension (EHAT), in 21 children with chronic headache of tension (CHAT) and in 10 children with migraine. Clinical complaints, mood,
Sixteen patients with tension headaches were treated with acupuncture, needles being inserted in the hand and foot and then electrostimulated. All patients were seen at four 2-h sessions with intervals of 1 week between each. The first two sessions were used for clinical examination only, thus
Of 27 patients with phaeochromocytoma, 20 were subject to headaches as a part of their symptom complex and 7 were not, in spite of the fact that 4 of the latter had experienced other forms of headache at other times. There was no correlation between the proportion of noradrenaline to adrenaline
The aim of this study was to explore the possible role of tryptamine in the pathogenesis of chronic cluster headache along with that of adrenaline and noradrenaline (α-agonists) together with arginine metabolism in the origin of cluster bouts. Plasma levels of tyramine, tryptamine, serotonin,
Attacks of migraine resulting from climatic cold or heat-stress are a common occurrence in 20-30 per cent of a population exposed to weather changes. The electrical charges (positive ionisation and sferics) engendered by every incoming weather front produce a release of serotonin. In addition there
The goal of this study was to explore the relationship between indicators of sympathoneural, sympathomedullar and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) activity and stress-induced head and shoulder-neck pain in patients with migraine or tension-type headache (TTH). We measured noradrenaline,
BACKGROUND
There is a body of opinion in the clinical literature advocating the removal of intranasal contact points to treat facial pain.
OBJECTIVE
To review the evidence that intranasal mucosal contact points cause facial pain or headache and their removal is therapeutic.
METHODS
Systematic
The authors propose a comprehensive treatment of patients with hypothalamic syndromes (vegetative-visceral vascular forms) by a differentiated use of electrophoresis of euphellin. This method was efficacious in expressed headaches with increased blood pressure and cerebral vessels tone, crises of a
