The cause of flushing attacks in patients with carcinoid syndrome is unknown. In a subgroup of patients (many ofwhom have metastatic gastric carcinoid tumours) histamine excretion is frequently and consistently raised.45 Two reports have shown significant reductions in both frequency and duration offlushing attacks during combined treatment with H, and H2 receptor antagonists in two patients wi...

Postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a disabling condition that commonly affects otherwise normal young females. Because these patients can present with a flushing disorder, we hypothesized that mast cell activation (MCA) can contribute to its pathogenesis. Here we describe POTS patients with MCA (MCA+POTS), diagnosed by episodes of flushing and abnormal increases in urine methylhistamine, a...

The antidyslipidemic drug nicotinic acid (niacin) has been used for decades. One of the major problems of the therapeutical use of nicotinic acid is a strong cutaneous vasodilation called flushing, which develops in almost every patient taking nicotinic acid. Nicotinic acid-induced flushing has been shown to be mediated by the nicotinic acid receptor GPR109A and to involve the formation of vaso...

Captive largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) reject the gyrinid beetle, Dineutes hornii. They also reject edible items (mealworms) treated by topical addition of the norsesquiterpene gyrinidal, the principal component of the defensive secretion of the beetle. The bass' oral tolerance of gyrinidal varies broadly as a function of the gyrinidal dosage and the state of satiation of the fish. Whe...

Capturing stormwater is becoming a new standard for sustainable urban stormwater management, which can be used to supplement water supply portfolios in water-stressed cities. The key advantage of harvesting stormwater is to use low impact development (LID) systems for treatment to meet water quality requirement for non-potable uses. However, the lack of scientific studies to validate the safety...

The objectives of this study were: (1) define the best method of using digital bathymetric data to compute estuarine flushing time using the fraction of freshwater method and (2) use this method to compare flushing times of two neighboring estuaries of different trophic state. We examined the sensitivity of the fraction of freshwater method to various methods of calculating estuarine volume usi...

Septate uterus is the most common structural anomaly of all mullerian defects. It is included in Class V of the AFS classification of anomalies of mullerian ducts. Fusion of the median septum of the mullerian ducts proceeds cephalad from the mullerian tubercle up to the junction of future round ligaments; shortly thereafter, the septum between the ducts is resorbed. Congenital defects can occur...
