Evidence of Adreno-Cortical Stimulation by Autohemotherapy*

Anaesthesia in Adreno-cortical Hypereunction

PATIENTS WITH adreno-cortmal hyperfunctaon-are not frequently presented to anaesthetists. The proper anaesthetac management for adrenalectomy m these cases reqmres a basic understanchng of the physlopathology of the synch'omes caused by hyperfunetlon of the adrenal cortex. The adrenal cortex secretes three types of sterold hormones, file glucocorticolds, and the mmeralo-corticolds and hormones ...

Adreno-cortical tumors: clinico-pathological profile of five cases.

In children, upto two-thirds of all adreno-cortical neoplasms present with virilization with or without hypercortisolism(l). These tumors may however remain non-functioning or may present with varying symptom complexes including feminization and hyperaldosteronism(2). The clinical and biochemical features of five children with adreno-cortical neoplasms presenting over a period of five years (19...

The Effect of Potassium Deficiency upon Adreno- Cortical Secretion

The potassium-deficient rat exhibits several features in common with the untreated adrenalectomized rat, among which are subnormal growth. lowered blood pressure (1-3), diminished blood pressure responsiveness to pressor substances (4), and decreased tolerance to trauma. It therefore was considered important to determine whether the depressor response induced by potassium depletion might in fac...

Studies of Adreno-Cortical Function Tests in Portal Cirrhosis

Responses of primary somatosensory cortical neurons to controlled mechanical stimulation.

The results of psychophysical studies suggest that displacement velocity may contribute significantly to the sensation of subcortical somatosensory neurons. The cortical correlates of these phenomena, however, are not known. In the present study the responses of rapidly adapting (RA) neurons in the forelimb region of cat primary somatosensory cortex (SI) to controlled displacement of skin and h...
