Effects of Intravenous Hydration and Pitressin on Renal Function in Subjects with Essential Hypertension

Effects of intravenous hydration and pitressin on renal function in subjects with essential hypertension.

Effects of Intravenous Hydration and Pitressin

A NUMBER of workers have shown that the capacity to excrete sodium, as indicated by the rate of excretion of an intravenous salt load, is appreciably greater in hypertensive than in normotensive individuals.1-3 In addition, it has been demonstrated that effective antihypertensive treatment is capable of reducing the sodium excretory capacity of hypertensive subjects towards normal.4' 5 These fi...

Acute effects of intravenous sodium chloride load on calcium metabolism and on parathyroid function in patients with primary aldosteronism compared with subjects with essential hypertension.

To elucidate the mechanisms involved in increased parathyroid function in primary aldosteronism (PA), we evaluated the effects of an intravenous NaCl load on Ca metabolism and plasma level of intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) in patients with PA compared with that in patients with essential hypertension (EH). Sixteen PA patients and 16 EH patients who were well matched for age, gender, body mass...

The Effects of Photobiomodulation on Shoulder Pain, Muscle Thickness, and Function in Subjects With Adhesive Capsulitis

Background: Adhesive capsulitis or frozen shoulder is among the most prevalent causes of pain and disability in individuals. Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the effect of Photobiomodulation (PBM) on pain, range of motion, and thickness and function of supraspinatus muscle in patients with adhesive capsulitis. Materials & Methods: Overall, 52 subjects (n=26/group) with adhesive capsulitis r...
