Hypertension after naloxone

Altered pituitary hormone response to naloxone in hypertension development.

Endogenous opioid regulation of blood pressure is altered during stress in young adults at risk for hypertension. We studied the effects of the opioid antagonist naloxone on the secretion of corticotropin and beta-endorphin during psychological stress in young adults with mildly elevated casual arterial pressures. Naloxone-induced secretion of both corticotropin and beta-endorphin was significa...

Outcomes among buprenorphine-naloxone primary care patients after Hurricane Sandy

BACKGROUND The extent of damage in New York City following Hurricane Sandy in October 2012 was unprecedented. Bellevue Hospital Center (BHC), a tertiary public hospital, was evacuated and temporarily closed as a result of hurricane-related damages. BHC's large primary care office-based buprenorphine clinic was relocated to an affiliate public hospital for three weeks. The extent of environmenta...

Naloxone Induces Frequent Jumping after Chronic Morphine and Methamphetamine Co-Administration in Rats

Combined use of an opioid with a psychostimulant is popular among drug abusers. Such “polydrug use” may increase drug effects or attenuate adverse effects of either drug alone. We proposed that a combination of methamphetamine (meth) and morphine may change physical opioid withdrawal symptoms. Adult male rats were chronically injected with cumulative subcutaneous (s.c.) doses of morphine, meth ...

Cardiac arrest after reversal of effects of opiates with naloxone.

ocular hypertension after myopic photorefractive keratectomy

purpose: to evaluate the incidence of steroid-induced ocular hypertension (oht) after myopic photo-refractive keratectomy (prk). methods: myopic prk was performed on 506 eyes of 269 patients. refractive error was between -1.00 and -5.00 diopters of sphere and less than 4 diopters of cylinder. baseline intraocular pressure (iop) before the operation and at different time intervals after the oper...
