Prescription rate of medications potentially contributing to lower urinary tract symptoms and detection of adverse reactions by prescription sequence symmetry analysis [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) increases with age and can have a significant effect on the quality of life of the patients. Elderly patients, who are often characterized by a decline in physiological functional and polypharmacy, are ...

In a pooled analysis, bradycardia was observed in 6% of terlipressin‐treated patients but rarely required a dose interruption or reduction. Arrhythmia serious adverse event incidences were low and similar in both treatment groups. Routine intensive cardiac monitoring for the detection of arrhythmias may not be necessary during terlipressin ...

Use of droxidopa for blood pressure augmentation after acute spinal cord injury: case reports [PDF]
Hypotension secondary to autonomic dysfunction is a common complication of acute spinal cord injury (SCI) that may worsen neurologic outcomes. Midodrine, an enteral α-1 agonist, is often used to facilitate weaning intravenous (IV) vasopressors, but its ...

Hemodynamic Effects of Midodrine After Space Flight in Astronauts Without Orthostatic Hypotension [PDF]
Orthostatic hypotension and presyncope are common and potentially serious risks for astronauts returning from space. Susceptible subjects fail to generate an adequate adrenergic response to upright posture. The -1 adrenergic agonist, midodrine, may be an
