METABOLIC ALTERATIONS FOLLOWING THERMAL BURNS. I. NITROGEN BALANCE IN EXPERIMENTAL BURNS1

Experimental thermal burns.

Alterations in neuromuscular function following thermal injury.

Severe burn injury can result in dramatic changes in human physiology and biochemistry. Aberrant responses, hypersensitivity and potentially lethal hyperkalemia to depolarising [1,2] and hyposensitivity to non-depolarising [2,3] muscle relaxants have been noted in burn trauma. The molecular basis of these responses is currently thought to be due to an increase in nicotinic acetylcholine recepto...

testicular biohistochemical alterations following experimental varicocele in rats

background: the exact pathophysiology of testicular degeneration, following varicocele has not been completely understood yet.   objective: the current study was designed to determine the effect of varicocele on germinal epithelium (ge) cytoplasmic biohistochmical alterations.   materials and methods: to follow-up this study, left varicocele was induced in test groups. non-varicocelized rats we...

Kinetics of nitrogen oxide production following experimental thermal injury in rats.

Nitric oxide is biosynthesized from the amino acid L-arginine by the enzyme nitric oxide synthase. Nitric oxide is a vasodilator, a neurotransmitter, and may modulate immune function. The experiments presented here were performed to determine whether the synthesis of nitric oxide is increased following experimental burn injury in rats. After a 30% total body surface area burn in 300-g Lewis rat...

Review of Nasal Soft Tissue alterations in Class III Malocclusion patients following Lefort I Osteotomy

Abstract Background and Aim:  The primary aim of orthognathic surgery is to improve the aesthetic parameters of the face and dentition and to transform it into an acceptable clinical standard, which is often associated with the secondary aim of improving occlusal function. The most common treatment option for maxillofacial abnormalities in Class III malocclusion patients is bimaxillary surgery,...
