consequence analysis of the leakage, ignition and explosion during high pressure sour gas injection process to the oil reservoir
there is no doubt that human being needs to become integrated with industry and industry needs to be progressed, daily. on the other hand, serious events in industrial units specially in oil industries has been shown that such damages and events are industry related ones. the consequence of such events and damages which resulted in chemical and poisoned explosions and loss of life and property ...
Hypercortisolism Revealed by the Dexamethasone Suppression Test With Acute Ischemic Stroke
Using the dexamethasone suppression test, we studied the activity of the hypothalamicpituitary-adrenal axis within the first week after onset in 62 patients with acute ischemic stroke. Compared with two control groups (one comprising 25 elderly patients with various acute medical disorders and the other comprising 33 80-year-old volunteers), stroke patients had higher postdexamethasone cortisol...
متن کاملIncidence of hypercortisolism and dexamethasone resistance increases with age among wild baboons.
While many features of the adrenocortical axis are unchanged with age in humans, there is a pattern of senescent hypercortisolism. This occurs basally, following threshold doses of dexamethasone, and in synergy with depression or Alzheimer's disease. An understanding of neuroendocrine aging is important, for both its gerontological implications, and determination of normative values for compari...
متن کاملEvaluation of liver glycogen catabolism during hypercortisolism induced by the administration of dexamethasone in rats.
BACKGROUND The contribution of liver glycogen catabolism to hyperglycemia and glucose intolerance induced by pharmacological hypercortisolism were investigated. METHODS For this purpose, adult male Wistar rats that received 1.0 mg/kg dexamethasone (DEX) ip at 8:00 a.m. (DEX group) or saline (CON group) once a day for 5 consecutive days were compared. RESULTS Experimental hypercortisolism wa...
متن کاملDexamethasone during Late Gestation Exacerbates Peripheral Insulin Resistance and Selectively Targets Glucose-Sensitive Functions in β Cell and Liver.
We examined whether low-dose dexamethasone administration during late pregnancy modifies hepatic and/or peripheral insulin action or glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Dexamethasone (100 microg/kg maternal body weight/d) was administered via an osmotic minipump from d 14--19 of gestation. Maternal glucose-insulin homeostasis was assessed on d 19 of pregnancy in the postabsorptive state. Insu...
