چکیده
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) serves as a good model for the study of heart-brain interactions because it is associated with both a high incidence of arrhythmia and a low prevalence of coronary heart disease. The pathophysiology of cardiac abnormalities in SAH is unsettled. Initial theories focused on sustained stimulation of cardiomyocytes at sympathetic nerve endings, but recent data suggest that dysfunction of the parasympathetic nervous system may contribute as well. We believe that the coupling of catecholamine release with parasympathetic dysfunction may allow unchecked inflammation that leads to myocardial dysfunction and cell death. We have developed a novel murine model of SAH to explore these potential inflammatory underpinnings of cardiac damage in SAH.

The Mechanism for RNA Recognition by ANTAR Regulators of Gene Expression
ANTAR proteins are widespread bacterial regulatory proteins that have RNA-binding output domains and utilize antitermination to control gene expression at the post-initiation level. An ANTAR protein, EutV, regulates the ethanolamine-utilization genes (eut) in Enterococcus faecalis. Using this system, we present genetic and biochemical evidence of a general mechanism of antitermination used by A...
متن کاملCorneal biomechanics in asymmetrical normal-tension glaucoma
PURPOSE We aimed to assess corneal biomechanics using the ocular response analyzer in patients with normal-tension glaucoma (NTG), and to evaluate the relationship between corneal biomechanics and visual field loss. METHODS This was a prospective observational case series including patients with bilateral asymmetric NTG. For all patients, corneal hysteresis (CH), corneal resistance factor (CR...
متن کاملElectrochemical Approach for Determination of Tertahydrozoline HCl Using Gold nanoparticles Electrode
The electrochemical behavior of tetrahydrozoline (THZ) was explored by cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry. A well-defined peak at 915 mV using gold nanomodified electrode (AuNPts/CP) in presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) was detected. Different buffers, pH and scan rates on oxidation peak current were studied. Linear calibration curve was achieved in the range of 1.99×...
