Isoprenaline versus nitroglycerine in head-up tilt test

Indian Heart Journal, 2017
Background: HUTT test is used in evaluation of syncope. Isoprenaline and isosorbide dinitrate are used to increase the sensitivity of the test. These drugs act by different mechanisms.

Heart rate recovery and diastolic blood pressure ratio on the treadmill test predict an induction and recurrence of vasovagal syncope [PDF]

The Korean Journal of Internal Medicine, 2019
Background/Aims The induction and recurrence of syncope is a concerning situation that could be unpredicted in the vasovagal syncope (VVS). We investigated a simple predictor for the induced and recurrent VVS during Head-Up table-tilt Test (HUT) and ...

Serum Myonectin Levels Are Positively Associated With Physical Function and Lower Frailty‐Related Limitation in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients frequently suffer from frailty, characterized by reduced physical function and poor prognosis. Myokines, such as myonectin, secreted by muscle, are emerging regulators of systemic health. This study investigated the relationship between serum myonectin, adipokines (adiponectin, omentin), and ...

Carotid sinus hypersensitivity as a cause of multiple falls in an elderly patient: a case report

Revista Médica de Minas Gerais
The carotid sinus is a neurovascular structure composed of baroreceptors responsible for detecting changes in blood pressure. When the baroreflex response of the carotid sinus becomes excessively sensitive, it can result in symptoms such as syncope ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Septin 9 PB domains coordinate centrosome positioning and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Septin 9 polybasic domains couple phosphoinositide‐rich membrane binding to centrosome positioning, Golgi organization, and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity. Their loss disrupts this axis, causing centrosome mispositioning, Golgi fragmentation, reduced microtubule acetylation, and polarity inversion via upregulation of the ...

Tilt-Strain Changes Linked to a Jacking System Test

Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2022
A sector of the San Marco Hospital (Catania, Italy) was the subject of a jacking test in order to demonstrate the substitutability of the seismic isolator. A monitoring system, included tiltmeters and strain gauges, was applied to one column.

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Tilt training as a treatment for reflex syncope: a multimodal approach!?

Frontiers in Neuroscience
PurposeReflex syncope is a burdensome disease with considerable repercussions on the quality of life. Tilt training is a therapeutic option, but evidence on this topic is scarce and outdated. Hyperventilation is oftentimes associated with reflex syncope.
