Injections of Contrast

چکیده
Background. Myocardial opacification during echocardiography has been demonstrated after left (LA) and right (RA) atrial injections of contrast, and microvascular damage with reduced blood flow and impaired flow reserve has been documented in necrotic myocardial tissue. Therefore, we hypothesized that because of its ability to depict capillary perfusion, myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) can be used to define risk area during coronary occlusion and infarct size after reperfusion with LA and RA injections of contrast in the presence of pharmacologically induced coronary hyperemia. Methods and Results. Eighteen open-chest anesthetized dogs with 3 to 6 hours of left anterior descending artery occlusion and 15 minutes of reflow were studied in the presence of either dipyridamole (0.56 mg/kg

Background and Objective: Nesfatin-1 is an effective peptide in the regulation of energy balance. The aim of this research was investigation of the effects of resistance training with and without testosterone injection on plasma levels of nesfatin-1 in adult male rats.

متن کاملEpidurography contrast patterns with fluoroscopic guided lumbar transforaminal epidural injections:a prospective evaluation.
BACKGROUND Lumbar transforaminal epidural injections have been utilized in the treatment of radicular pain with proven success. It was postulated that interlaminar epidural injections result in a dorsal flow of contrast while transforaminal epidural steroid injections showed good ventral flow limited to one single spinal motion segment. There have been no published studies evaluating epidurogra...
متن کاملMechanisms mediating bradycardia during coronary arteriography.
Cardiac slowing occurring during diagnostic coronary arteriography was studied in 78 patients. Comparable degrees of slowing occurred with injections into the right and into the left coronary arteries into the contralateral artery, and with injections into the coronary artery giving rise to the sinus node artery and into the contralateral artery. Rapid intracoronary injections of isosmotic dext...
متن کاملEffect of epinephrine and cortisol on fasting-induced ghrelin secretion in male rats fed different levels of their energy requirement
Introduction: ghrelin is a potent orexigenic agent in rodents and humans. Some studies have shown that ghrelin participates in the adaptive response to weight loss and plasma concentration of ghrelin rises with dieting. On the other hand, weight loss and fasting is accompanied by increased levels of epinephrine and cortisol. In this study, we investigated the effects of epinephrine and corti...
متن کاملPulmonary wedge injections yielding left-sided echocardiographic contrast.
Ultrasound contrast on the left side of the heart without the need for left heart catheterisation was achieved by hand injections of 8 to 10 ml 5 per cent dextrose solution through a catheter in the pulmonary wedge position. Injections were performed in 18 patients undergoing routine cardiac catheterisation and M-mode or two-dimensional echocardiography was used. An adequate wedge position was ...
