conclusions the results suggest no significant relationship between the severity of injury and risk of rsd occurrence, although the mean injury severity score was higher in patients with rsd than in those without rsd in this study population. the lower score of local circulation in patients with rsd than in those without rsd is a statistically significant finding and can be attributed to change...

background: early detection of proneness to hypertension may help an individual to lead a healthy life by altering the life style. subjects having the predisposing factors of hypertension tend to show higher and prolonged responsiveness to blood pressure following stress. methods: normotensive, non-smoking healthy sedentary male students and staff of nepal medical college (n=50, age group 18-35...

background: osteoporosis is a common disease characterized by reduction in bone mass, due to depletion of calcium and bone protein. a pivotal role of the sympathetic nervous system in bone remodeling has been considered. on the other hand, elevated central sympathetic activation in postmenopausal women is involved in the creation of vasomotor symptoms. also, sympathetic skin response (ssr) has ...

objective: lc/na system is activator of hypothalamic–pituitar–adrenal (hpa) axis and cold stress triggers an equally robust increase in plasma na. increased lhrh content probably due to absence or decrease of ne release from the lc and positive feedback action of e2 on lh secretion show that in late proestrous phase na, lh and e2 have a strong link. this study was conducted to evaluate the effe...

Lectin binding histochemistry was performed on the developing sympathetic ganglionic cells to investigate the distribution and density of defined carbohydrate terminals on the cell surface glycoproteins during autonomic system morphogenesis. Sprague-Dauley rat embryos from 9th gestational day to birth were fixed and paraffinized. Serial sections of these specimens were incubated with different ...

introduction: traditional iranian medicine (tim) is accompanied by little side effects in experience. the mechanisms involved in tim are not much clear. the purpose of this study is assessment of differences of warm and cold nature persons in neuroendocrine system and cytokine pattern (th1/th2) of immune responses. methods: thirty seven 20 to 40 years old male volunteers were divided into 2 gro...

background: central obesity and hyperinsulinaemia of polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) are associated with chronic sympathetic over activity. objective: to evaluate the autonomic functions and to indicate the superiority, if any, for those functions in the diagnosis of sympathetic over activity in pcos women. materials and methods: sixty-four pcos patients and 40 women served as the control grou...

radioiodinated meta iodobenzylguanidine (mibg) is one of the important radiopharmaceuticals in nuclear medicine. [123/131i]mibg is used for imaging of adrenal medulla, studying heart sympathetic nerves, treatment of pheochromacytoma and neuroblastoma. for clinical application, radioiodinated mibg is prepared through isotopic exchange method, which includes replacement of radioactive iodine in a...
