Adaptations to iron deficiency: cardiac functional responsiveness to norepinephrine, arterial remodeling, and the effect of beta-blockade on cardiac hypertrophy. [PDF]

, 2002
BackgroundIron deficiency (ID) results in ventricular hypertrophy, believed to involve sympathetic stimulation. We hypothesized that with ID 1) intravenous norepinephrine would alter heart rate (HR) and contractility, 2) abdominal aorta would be larger ...

Combining Adipose‐Derived Stromal Cell Spheroids and Melt Electrowritten Scaffolds for a 3D Adipose Model Mimicking Structure and Function of Fat Tissue

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
A 3D adipose tissue model is fabricated by combining melt electrowritten scaffolds with multicellular adipose‐derived stromal cell spheroids. The resulting constructs are characterized by a coherent, tissue‐like matrix. The lipid droplet size is tunable by oleic acid supplementation, reaching native‐like diameters.

Neurohumoral activation in heart failure: the role of adrenergic receptors

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2006
Heart failure (HF) is a common endpoint for many forms of cardiovascular disease and a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. The development of end-stage HF often involves an initial insult to the myocardium that reduces cardiac output and leads ...

Beta-Adrenergic Receptor Blockade By Propranolol Enhances Retention In A Multitrial Passive-Avoidance Procedure [PDF]

, 2000
The effect of beta -adrenergic receptor blockade on retention in a mildly aversive passive-avoidance procedure was investigated. Rats were given passive-avoidance training-1 trial per day for 4 days-and were administered saline, the centrally and ...

Beyond right or wrong: How partial credit scoring on multiple‐choice questions improves student performance and assessment perceptions

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims In this study, we examined the effects of assigning partial credit to selected answer choices on student performance and perceptions in a pharmacology course using Type A multiple‐choice questions (MCQs). Methods Partial credit scoring was incorporated into quizzes and exams in a 10‐week pharmacology course for postbaccalaureate premedical ...

MODERN POSSIBILITIES OF MEDICAL TREATMENT OF OVERACTIVE BLADDER IN WOMEN

Медицинский совет, 2017
Overactive bladder (OAB) is a serious urination disorder which affects at least 17% of the population above 40 years old, of which 56% are women and 44% are men. M-cholinoblockers are the first line therapy and the main treatment for OAB.

Anti-adrenergic effects of endothelin on human atrial action potentials are potentially anti-arrhythmic [PDF]

, 2006
Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is elevated in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure. We investigated effects of ET-1 on human atrial cellular electrophysiological measurements expected to influence the genesis and maintenance of AF.

Enhancing patient stratification methods for medication review during acute admissions

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Medication review in the hospital is an effective tool for identifying inappropriate prescribing, but not every patient can receive one due to resource constraints. Thus, it is important to identify patients who stand to benefit most from medication review.

Natural Killer cells responsiveness to physical esercise: a brief review [PDF]

, 2013
Natural killer cells (NK) are a group of peripheral blood lymphocytes which display cytotoxic ac- tivity against a wide range of tumour cells. They are a consistent part of the inflammatory re- sponse that is activated when either internal or external ...
