antiemetics are given to cancer patients prior to their chemotherapy sessions to protect them from nausea and vomiting induced by chemotherapy. the responsible health care team member will choose the type of antiemetic required to prevent the patient from developing nausea and vomiting according to the chemotherapy ematogenicity level. current guidelines recommend using a single antiemetic agen...

conclusions the application of 5-ht1a, 5-ht2, 5-ht3, 5-ht4, 5-ht6 and 5-ht7 receptor antagonists, applied at concentrations lower than 1.0 µm did not modify the efs-induced contraction and relaxation responses, whichsuggests the unlikely involvement of endogenous 5-ht in mediating responses to efs in the described test conditions. materials and methods segments taken from the rat duodenum, jeju...

Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles have been coated with a low affinity CXCR4 receptor antagonist to give high multivalent binding construct.

introduction: we previously shown that microinjection of glutamate into the hdb of rat elicited cardiovascular depressive responses. microinjection of ap5 (an nmda receptor antagonist, 2.5 mm, 50 nl) and cnqx (an ampa receptor antagonist, 1 mm, 50 nl) caused no significant changes in the blood pressure and heart rate. microinjection of bicuculline (bmi: a gabaa receptor antagonist, 1 mm, 50 nl)...

A 9-year-old boy affected by colchicine-resistant idiopathic pericarditis was successfully treated with an IL-1 receptor antagonist (anakinra).

Diabetic neuropathic pain, an important micro vascular complication in diabetes mellitus, has been recognized as one of the most difficult types of pain to treat. Lack of understanding of etiology involved, inadequate relief, development of tolerance and potential toxicity of classical anti-nociceptive agents warrants the investigation of newer agents to relieve this pain. The aim of the presen...

Introduction: We previously shown that microinjection of glutamate into the hDB of rat elicited cardiovascular depressive responses. Microinjection of AP5 (an NMDA receptor antagonist, 2.5 mM, 50 nl) and CNQX (an AMPA receptor antagonist, 1 mM, 50 nl) caused no significant changes in the blood pressure and heart rate.

In the present study the effect of intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of cerulein, an agonist of CCK receptor and proglumide, a receptor antagonist for hyperalgesia induced by sciatic nerve ligation were investigated in mice. Subcutaneous administration of morphine caused anti-nociception in both intact and nerve-ligated mice. However, the response to opioids was lower in ligated mice as c...
