Aims: In humans, impaired gastric accommodation is associated with early satiety and weight loss. In animals, accommodation involves activation of gastric nitrergic neurones. Our aim was to study involvement of nitric oxide in gastric accommodation and in meal induced satiety in humans. Methods: The effect of N-monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA) 4 mg/kg/h and 8 mg/kg/h on gastric compliance, on sen...

AIMS In humans, impaired gastric accommodation is associated with early satiety and weight loss. In animals, accommodation involves activation of gastric nitrergic neurones. Our aim was to study involvement of nitric oxide in gastric accommodation and in meal induced satiety in humans. METHODS The effect of N(G)-monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA) 4 mg/kg/h and 8 mg/kg/h on gastric compliance, on ...

Abstract Aim A recent change to electronic fluid prescribing has enabled us evaluate our adherence recommendations. NICE clinical guideline 174 states that patients should receive 25-30ml/kg/day water and 1mmol/kg/day of sodium, potassium, chloride with regards maintenance therapy. We retrospectively audited practice in surgical patients. Method Patients were selected from two inpatient wards a...

This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a novel, community-based weight management programme delivered through general practitioner (GP) practices and community pharmacies in one city in the United Kingdom. This study used a non-randomized, retrospective, observational comparison of clinical data collected by participating GP practices and community pharmacies. Subjects were 451 overwei...

Rifazone-8(2), a new rifamycin derivative, is shown to preferentially inhibit the growth of virus-transformed chick cells in culture. Macromolecular synthesis and glucose uptake of transformed cells are also appreciably decreased in the presence of low concentrations of rifazone-8(2) where the normal cells appear unaffected. While rifazone-8(2) is shown to be a selective inhibitor of RNA-direct...

tional settling or meridional circulation). Cosmic-ray nucleosynthesis models and observations of interstellar clouds indicate that the primordial ratio, f(Li), in the protoplanetary matter could have been as high as 0.3±0.5, which in turn would allow either the possibility of some Li depletion in the star or the ingestion of planets with even smaller mass. In this scenario we have assumed that...

Interleukin 17 (IL-17) is a cytokine associated with inflammation, autoimmunity and defense against some bacteria. Here we show that IL-17 can promote autoimmune disease through a mechanism distinct from its proinflammatory effects. As compared with wild-type mice, autoimmune BXD2 mice express more IL-17 and show spontaneous development of germinal centers (GCs) before they increase production ...
