Hypertension in Obese Black Women is Not Caused by Increased Sympathetic Vascular Tone [PDF]
BackgroundBlack women have one of the highest prevalence rates of hypertension and obesity in the United States. We previously reported that sympathetic activation induced by obesity is a significant contributor to hypertension in white patients.

Effect of Trimethaphan on Intraocular Pressure in Electroconvulsive Therapy
According to Hibbeler, 4 patients suffering from glaucoma rather frequently have mental disturbances, and when electroconvulsive therapy becomes necessary the problem arises of how such treatment will affect the glaucoma. A report of ten patients suffering from glaucoma treated with electroconvulsive therapy at different clinics in the United States ...

Analytic and Integrative Framework for Understanding Human Sympathetic Arterial Baroreflex Function: Equilibrium Diagram of Arterial Pressure and Plasma Norepinephrine Level [PDF]
BackgroundThe sympathetic arterial baroreflex is a closed-loop feedback system for stabilizing arterial pressure (AP). Identification of unique functions of the closed system in humans is a challenge. Here we propose an analytic and integrative framework

Central α<sub>2</sub>-adrenergic mechanisms regulate human sympathetic neuronal discharge strategies. [PDF]
Abstract figure legend The present study investigated the impact of central α2‐adrenergic mechanisms on sympathetic action potential (AP) discharge, recruitment and latency strategies. We used the microneurographic technique to record muscle sympathetic nerve activity and a continuous wavelet transform to investigate postganglionic sympathetic AP ...

Trimethaphan Camsylate in Hemorrhagic Shock
The ill effects of excessive sympathetic stimulation in animals subjected to prolonged oligemic hypotension have been documented by many observers.1-6These observations have led to the experimental and clinical use of ganglionic or adrenergic blocking agents to prevent harmful vasoconstriction in shock.

Trimethaphan-induced hypotension: effect on renal function [PDF]
This study was designed to evaluate the effects of trimethaphan-induced hypotension on renal function in healthy young patients undergoing maxillofacial surgery. Anaesthesia was induced with thiopentone and was maintained with halothane 1.5-2.0 per cent in oxygen.
