Decreased Noradrenaline (Norepinephrine) Synthesis in Neurogenic Orthostatic Hypotension [PDF]
Three patients with idiopathic orthostatic (postural) hypotension were infused over a 4-hr period with 104.6 µc of 3-hydroxytyramine-2- 14 C, the immediate precursor in the synthesis of the sympathetic neurohormone, that is, noradrenaline (norepinephrine).

ABSTRACT Inhibition of vasocontraction accounts for side effects in treating voiding symptoms in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). We examined the vasoactivity of compounds previously showing inhibition of prostate smooth muscle contraction. Contractions of porcine renal interlobar and coronary arteries were induced by agonists or electric field ...

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 ...

Polyneuropathy in Wild‐Type Transthyretin Amyloidosis
ABSTRACT Introduction Transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) is a systemic disorder characterized by the extracellular accumulation of amyloid fibrils, classified as either mutant (ATTRv, v for variant) or wild‐type (ATTRwt), based on the genetic sequence of the transthyretin (TTR) protein.
