The purpose of this experiment was to examine the effects of the endogenous opioid system on forearm muscle pain and muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) during dynamic fatiguing exercise. Twelve college-age men (24 +/- 4 yr) performed graded (1-min stages; 30 contractions/min) handgrip to

An important issue in allogeneic peripheral blood progenitor cell transplantation is the optimization of the regimen of mobilization of progenitor cells from normal donors. It has been shown that for G-CSF doses up to 10 microg/kg/day, a dose-response relationship exists for the degree of progenitor

To study drug safety and the reporting behavior of adverse drug reactions (ADR) related to agents used for opioid replacement therapy (ORT) we conducted a cross-sectional questionnaire-based telephone survey among physicians who provide outpatient ORT in Germany (n=176; response rate=55.7%). Most

BACKGROUND Mastocytosis is characterized by the accumulation of aberrant mast cells (MC). Patients suffering from mastocytosis suffer from a wide range of symptoms due to increased levels of MC mediators. It would therefore be of great benefit to inhibit MC mediator release. However, to date there

Pharmacological self-management is becoming more widespread in modernizing societies, as part of a general expansion of health care.
