Pediatric pharmacology of desmopressin in children with enuresis : a comprehensive review [PDF]
Desmopressin is a synthetic analogue of the natural antidiuretic hormone arginine vasopressin. Over the years, it has been clinically used to manage nocturnal polyuria in children with enuresis.

Oil‐immersion method (Kalsner and Nickerson, 1968) has been adapted for ex vivo estimation of the oxytocin displacement rate from its receptor compartment in rat myometrium. “Enzyme probes,” oxytocin analogues protected against enzymatic attack on putative splitting sites, were used to identify irreversible clearance processes of oxytocin.

Synthetic Vasopressin and Oxytocin Analogs and Their Potential Use in Hemorrhagic, Traumatic and Septic Shock: A Personal Perspective [PDF]
As one of us has stated many years ago, “shock is a significant and sustained loss of effective circulating blood volume. It will eventuate in hypoperfusion of critical peripheral tissues, thus leading to a deficit in transcapillary exchange function in ...

Summary Congenital platelet disorders (CPDs) are rare bleeding disorders that are associated with mucocutaneous bleeds. However, data on vaginal bleeding in women with CPDs are scarce. A set of generic and bleeding‐specific questionnaires were used to evaluate the prevalence of vaginal bleeding, its impact on quality of life (QoL) and sexual ...

Vasopressin regulates the growth of the biliary epithelium in polycystic liver disease [PDF]
The neurohypophysial hormone arginine vasopressin (AVP) acts by three distinct receptor subtypes: V1a, V1b, and V2. In the liver, AVP is involved in ureogenesis, glycogenolysis, neoglucogenesis and regeneration. No data exist about the presence of AVP in

Conditional ablation of vasopressin‐synthesizing neurons in transgenic rats
We characterized a transgenic rat line that expresses a mutated human diphtheria toxin receptor under control of the vasopressin gene promoter. Intracerebroventricular administration of diphtheria toxin under a hyperosmotic condition induced selective ablation of vasopressin neurons in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) and the supraoptic ...

Diagnosis of von Willebrand disease in Argentina: a single institution experience [PDF]
von Willebrand disease (VWD) is the most common autosomal bleeding disorder, mostlyinherited as dominant trait. VWD is due to deficiency/abnormality of von Willebrand factor (VWF).

A phase II dose‑escalation trial of perioperative desmopressin (1‑desamino‑8‑D‑arginine vasopressin) in breast cancer patients [PDF]
Desmopressin (dDAVP) is a well-known peptide analog of the antidiuretic hormone vasopressin, used to prevent excessive bleeding during surgical procedures. dDAVP increases hemostatic mediators, such as the von Willebrand factor (vWF), recently considered
