Free phenytoin concentration in brain ECF
We investigate the relationship between brain extracellular fluid free phenytoin concentration and plasma free phenytoin concentration in adults with acute brain injury. Daily cerebral microdialysate free phenytoin concentration was measured in eight adults with acute brain injury and compared to simultaneous measurement of plasma free phenytoin concentration. The group data revealed no signifi...
متن کاملInconvenient Desires: Should we Routinely Neuter Companion Animals?
Influential parts of the veterinary profession, and notably the American Veterinary Medicine Association, are promoting the routine neutering of cats and dogs that will not be used for breeding purposes. However this view is not universally held, even among representatives of the veterinary profession. In particular, some veterinary associations in Europe defend the view that when reproduction ...
متن کاملWhen should we measure lipoprotein (a)?
Recently published epidemiological and genetic studies strongly suggest a causal relationship of elevated concentrations of lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] with cardiovascular disease (CVD), independent of low-density lipoproteins (LDLs), reduced high density lipoproteins (HDL), and other traditional CVD risk factors. The atherogenicity of Lp(a) at a molecular and cellular level is caused by interferen...
متن کاملSympathovagal balance: how should we measure it?
There are complex interactions between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system inputs to the sinus node. The concept of "sympathovagal balance" reflects the autonomic state resulting from the sympathetic and parasympathetic influences. Despite widespread usage of a variety of heart rate (HR) variability parameters as indexes of sympathovagal balance, no index has been validated as a ...
متن کاملShould we measure dyspnoea in everyone?
Dyspnoea is defined as ‘‘breathing discomfort’’ [1]. The paper by GRØNSETH et al. [2] in this issue of European Respiratory Journal (ERJ) reports the prevalence of dyspnoea in 15 countries throughout the world. There are few studies of dyspnoea in the general population available, so this added information is welcome. The overall prevalence of dyspnoea in their study population was 27%, which i...
