Respiratory impairment due to damage of the spinal respiratory motoneurons and interruption of the descending drives from brainstem premotor neurons to spinal respiratory motoneurons is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality following cervical spinal cord injury. The present study was designed

OBJECTIVE To report the safe management and treatment of a catecholamine-secreting tympanicum glomus tumour. METHODS A 73-year-old women presented with a catecholamine-producing glomus tympanicum tumour, complaining of hearing impairment and left ear pain. Physical examination revealed a red,

Short bursts of activity are accompanied by a sharp rise, then a sharp drop, followed facultatively by a tonic rise of pressure in the portal and mesenteric vein. Caval vein and abdominal pressure show only a monophasic rise during activity. The drop of portal pressure immediately after the activity

In canine experiments with coronary catheterization and perfusion, catheterization of the heart cavities and great vessles, and with thermodilution it was demonstrated that the alpha-adrenergic blocker Phentolamine causes a regular flow resistance in the coronary vessels. The maximal depressor

Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is defined as a valve-like opening at the level of foramen ovale or between septum primum and secundum without evidence of the anatomical defect. Paradoxical embolism (PDE) is an embolus passing through a defect PFO leading to end-organ dysfunction. PDE in septic shock is

206 case records of the patients treated from 1985 to 1998 for various diseases of the adrenal glands were analyzed. In 39 (18.9%) patients tumors were chance finding at ultrasound examination or computer tomography of the abdominal cavity and retroabdominal space. 25 patients from this group were

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) has been found as an endocrine organ that maintains metabolic homeostasis; however, the effects on atherosclerosis remain undefined. Here, we investigated the effect of experimental BAT transplantation on atherosclerosis. Interscapular BAT was dissected from wild-type mice

Adrenomedullin is a vasoactive peptide that improves endothelial barrier function in sepsis, but may also cause hypotension and organ failure. Treatment with a non-neutralizing monoclonal anti-adrenomedullin antibody showed improvement in murine sepsis models. We tested the effects of the humanized

In humans, neurosecretory chromaffin cells control a number of important bodily functions, including those related to stress response. Chromaffin cells appear as a distinct cell type at the beginning of midgestation and are the main cellular source of adrenalin and noradrenalin released into the
