Zusammenfassung Die Post-ERCP-Pankreatitis ist die häufigste Komplikation einer ERCP und wird durch eine Vielzahl an Faktoren beeinflusst. Zu deren Prophylaxe strenge Indikationsstellung zur erforderlich. Sofern keine Gegenanzeigen bestehen, sollen Patienten vor, während nach der Untersuchung forcierte i.v.-Flüssigkeitszufuhr mit Ringer-Laktat erhalten (in unserer Praxis beispielsweise ein Lite...

A method for the estimation in rats of the in vivo release and metabolism of dopamine (DA) is described. The method is based on the dialysis principle and consists of inserting transversally in the striatum a thin (0.2 mm) dialysis tube (Amicon Vitafiber) which is then perfused with Ringer. The Ringer, flowing at a constant rate of 2 microliters/min in the dialysis tube, extracts low molecular ...

Cigarette smoking attenuates acetylcholine (ACh)-induced cutaneous vasodilation in humans, but the underlying mechanisms are unknown. We tested the hypothesis that smokers have impaired nitric oxide (NO)- and cyclooxygenase (COX)-dependent cutaneous vasodilation to ACh infusion. Twelve young smokers, who have smoked more than 5.2 ± 0.7 yr with an average daily consumption of 11.4 ± 1.2 cigarett...

a bstract background: shivering is a common complication of general and epidural anesthesia. warming methods and many drugs are used for control of shivering in the recovery room. the present study is a randomized clinical trial aimed to investigate the effects of two interventions in comparison with pethidine which is the routine treatment on shivering in patients undergoing abdominal surgery ...

An experiment performed in London nearly 120 years ago, which by today's standards would be considered unacceptably sloppy, marked the beginning of the calcium (Ca(2+)) signaling saga. Sidney Ringer [Ringer, S. (1883) J. Physiol. 4, 29-43] was studying the contraction of isolated rat hearts. In earlier experiments, Ringer had suspended them in a saline medium for which he admitted to having use...
