adenosine/fever

During malignant hyperthermia crisis, cardiac arrhythmias and increased myocardial oxygen consumption are observed. It was the purpose of the present study to investigate whether or not a greater sensitivity to cardiac alpha- or beta-adrenoceptor stimulation or an impaired adenosine- or

The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that increased concentrations of adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) in the pyrogen-sensitive preoptic/anterior hypothalamic region (PO/AH) mediate fever. Micro-injection of N6-2'-O-dibutyryl adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (db cyclic AMP) into

Lymphocyte adenosine deaminase (L-ADA) activity, a measure of lymphocyte activity, was estimated in 10 healthy controls and 30 patients with typhoid fever (20 uncomplicated and 10 complicated) at the time of admission, at onset of complications and weekly until recovery. Mean L-ADA activity in

OBJECTIVE Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever is an acute viral hemorrhagic fever with a high mortality rate. Despite increasing knowledge about hemorrhagic fever viruses, little is known about the pathogenesis of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever. In this study, we measured serum adenosine deaminase and

Adenosine deaminase activity has been measured in the peripheral lymphocytes of 12 patients suffering from typhoid fever. The mean activity was found to be significantly higher (P less than 0,001) when compared with normal controls.

In rabbit cerebrospinal fluid during fever induced by E. coli-endotoxin adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate concentrations are about 2-fold higher in comparison to normal values. In addition to prostaglandins of the E series adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate might act as another mediator in the

The central nervous system is especially vulnerable to hyperthermia-induced dysfunction, yet the mechanism for this susceptibility is poorly understood. High levels of adenosine triphosphate are necessary to maintain normal re-uptake of glutamate and aspartate, the major excitatory amino acids, by

The activity of serum adenosine deaminase and its isoenzymes (ADA1 and ADA2) was measured in the sera of 55 patients with clinically diagnosed typhoid fever, 46 of whom were seropositive for Salmonella typhi infection. At presentation 95% of the serologically positive patients had increased serum

BACKGROUND Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is a systemic relapsing autoinflammatory disorder. Adenosine deaminase (ADA) is an enzyme widely distribute in tissues and body fluids. Circulating levels of ADA have been shown to increase in several inflammatory conditions. This study was designed to

Adenosine has both vasodilatory and vasoconstrictive properties, yet its influence on cutaneous vascular conductance (CVC) during whole-body cooling remains unknown. The present study evaluated the influence of adenosine on reflex cutaneous vasoconstriction. Four microdialysis probes were inserted

1. Samples of cerebrospinal fluid (c.s.f.) have been taken from the cisterna magna of unanaesthetized cats, whilst rectal temperature was recorded, during exposure of the animals to various ambient temperatures and during fever induced by pyrogen. The concentration of adenosine 3', 5'-monophosphate

In rabbit cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) during fever induced by endotoxins, myxoviruses, or endogenous pyrogen, concentrations of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP) and prostaglandin E (PGE) are about 2-fold higher in comparison to normal values. In endotoxin treated animals paracetamol

This study compares several methods for diagnosing susceptibility to malignant hyperthermia, using two groups of Poland China swine narrowly defined as genetically susceptible or normal (five pigs each) depending respectively on their response to halothane or to halothane and succinylcholine. Vastus

The contribution of serum adenosine deaminase (ADA) activity to the diagnosis of typhoid fever was assessed in 246 children and in 46 adults, by Giusti's original technique. Children included otherwise healthy patients admitted for elective surgical conditions or under follow up for epilepsy which

OBJECTIVE Malignant hyperthermia is a pharmacogenetic disorder typically triggered by potent inhalation anesthetics and/or the depolarizing muscle relaxant succinylcholine in malignant hyperthermia-susceptible individuals. Since lymphocytes express the same Ca channel mutation found in malignant
