CADNAPAPHORNCHAT, PRAVIT, JOHN L. BOYKIN, TOMAS BERL, KEITH M. MCDONALD, AND ROBERT W. SCHRIER. Mechanism of effect of nicotine on renal water excretion. Am. J. Physiol. 227(5) : 1216-1220. 1974.-The mechanism whereby nicotine alters renal water excretion was investigated. In intact anesthetized dogs undergoing a water diuresis, intravenous injection of nicotine increased urinary osmolality (U,...

BACKGROUND Although prophylaxis is a standard of care for young children in developed countries, known to reduce the severity of hemophilic arthropathy, older adults with existing arthropathy have not traditionally used prophylaxis. Recent studies have shown that adults with hemophilia A are increasingly adopting prophylaxis but the characteristics of this treatment in older adults are not well...

The in vivo effectiveness of oxazolidinones eperezolid (U-100592) and linezolid (U-100766) against one strain each of Enterococcus faecalis and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium was examined in a rat model of intra-abdominal abscess. MICs of both drugs were 2 microg/ml for each strain. At doses of 25 mg/kg of body weight twice daily intravenously or orally, linezolid produced small but ...

BACKGROUND This prospective single-center study recruited insulin-resistant continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) therapy-naive patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) using insulin analog-based multiple daily injections (MDI) therapy and metformin. METHODS A total of 23 individuals with T2D (70% male), aged a mean ± standard deviation 57.2 ± 8.03 years, with body mass index of 36.2 ± 7...

Purpose. Studies were performed to examine hemodynamic and renal function before and after acute induction of the endogenous CO system with delta-aminolevulinic acid (DALA), which drives HO activity. Methods. In vivo studies were conducted on Inactin-anesthetized male Sprague Dawley rats (250-300 g) either with or without chronic pretreatment with L-NAME (50 mg/Kg, q12 hours x4d). Results. DALA...

Utilizing (p,d) and (p,t) reactions to obtain (n, f) cross sections in uranium nuclei via the surrogate-ratio method The surrogate ratio method has been tested for (p, d) and (p, t) reactions on uranium nuclei. 236 U and 238 U targets were bombarded with 28-MeV protons and the light ion recoils and fission fragments were detected using the Silicon Telescope Array for Reaction Studies detector a...

The goal of heparin therapy in deep vein thrombosis is to prevent thrombus extension. The relationship between thrombus extension and the results of coagulation tests used to monitor heparin therapy is unclear. To explore this relationship, we studied the effect of several heparin regimens on the accretion of indium-111-labeled platelets on fresh venous thrombi, as detected by gamma imaging, an...

nitrogen use efficiency (nue) is usually lower in paddy rice (oryza sativa l.) than in upland crops. for this reason, any attempt to improve nue through the use of different nitrogen (n) carriers, different rice cultivars, properly timed n application, the use of ni-trification and urease inhibitorsis of prime interest. moreover, zinc (zn) next to n seems to be the most important soil factor af...
