The Role of the ACE2/MasR Axis in Ischemic Stroke: New Insights for Therapy

Biomedicines, 2021
Ischemic stroke remains the leading cause of neurologically based morbidity and mortality. Current stroke treatment is limited to two classes of FDA-approved drugs: thrombolytic agents (tissue plasminogen activator (tPA)) and antithrombotic agents ...

The evolution of mean arterial pressure in critically ill patients on vasopressors before and during a trial comparing a specific mean arterial pressure target to usual care

BMC Anesthesiology, 2022
Background In randomized clinical controlled trials, the choice of usual care as the comparator may be associated with better clinician uptake of the study protocol and lead to more generalizable results. However, if care processes evolve to resemble the

Reduction of pressor response to vasoconstrictor agents by overexpression of catalase in mice [PDF]

American Journal of Hypertension, 2003
Hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) has been shown to induce vascular smooth muscle cell contraction in vitro. In this study, the effect of endogenously produced H(2)O(2) on blood pressure (BP) was examined using a transgenic mouse model (hCatTg(+/0)) in which catalase is overexpressed.The hCatTg(+/0) and wild-type mice received a bolus injection of ...

Pharmacological Potential of Endothelin Receptors Agonists and Antagonists

Acta Medica, 2005
Endothelins are potent predominantly vasoconstricting agents that act as local autocrine and paracrine mediators. Endothelin-1 is the most potent and sustained vasoconstrictor and pressor substance yet identified.

Intraoperative vasopressor use and early postoperative acute kidney injury in elderly patients undergoing elective noncardiac surgery

Renal Failure, 2022
Background Intraoperative hypotension is a risk factor for postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI). Elderly patients are susceptible due to reduced responses to acute hemodynamic changes.Aims Determine the association between hypotension identified from ...

Tongue necrosis as a complication of vasoconstrictor agents in the intensive care setting [PDF]

Internal and Emergency Medicine, 2010
The tongue is well irrigated by the lingual and submandibular arteries along with numerous collaterals that are invariably present. This rich vascular supply makes tongue necrosis exceptional. Tongue necrosis has been reported in giant cell arteritis, Wegener’s granulomatosis, malignant tumors, previous radiation to the neck, intraarterial injections ...
