Is Hemorrhagic Demyelinating Lesions of Central Nervous System a Spectrum?

The Role of the Reticulo-endothelial System in Hemorrhagic Shock

"Blockade" of the RES by thorotrast so lowered the tolerance of hemorrhagic shock in rabbits and dogs that a reversible degree of hemorrhagic shock became irreversible. This was true not only in normal rabbits, but in rabbits made resistant to hemorrhagic shock by producing resistance to endotoxins. Rabbits which had been pretreated with thorotrast and then subjected to hemorrhagic shock displa...

ADENOSINE IN THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM

Besides being a metabolite of nucleotides like ATP, adenosine is a mediator of neuronal function in the central nervous system. Its actions are mediated by at least three extracellular receptors. In this review different aspects of adenosine such as biosynthesis, release, inactivation and its receptors are discussed. It also covers pre- and postsynaptic effects as well as postreceptor mecha...

Hemorrhagic shock: a review

I read with interest the review by Prof. Gutierrez and colleagues on hemorrhagic shock [1]. The treatment of hemorrhagic shock is addressed in the review, and mention is made of the main goals: to stop the source of hemorrhage and to restore the circulating volume. Conserving blood products, on the grounds of cost, restricted availability and their pathophysiological effects, is becoming a nece...
