When beta adrenergic receptor blocker (BB) is stopped abruptly, tachycardia, blood pressure raise, increased number of anginal attacks, worsening of HF symptoms, etc. may ensue, which is known as “BB rebound phenomenon”. Thus, the aim of the paper is four-fold: to review the topic (BB rebound phenomenon); to illustrate BB rebound presence in everyday practice; to provide Guidelines’ view on BB ...

This paper presents a critical review of the literature on the rebound effects generated by information and communication technologies (ICT). Following a discussion of the types of general rebound, including direct, indirect, and economy-wide, the literature on ICT-related rebound effects is critically assessed. The chapter suggests ways of overcoming rebound and lays out promising avenues of r...

Distinct activity patterns in subthalamic nucleus (STN) neurons are observed during normal voluntary movement and abnormal movement in Parkinson's disease (PD). To determine how such patterns of activity are regulated by small conductance potassium (SK)/calcium-activated potassium (KCa) channels and voltage-gated calcium (Cav) channels, STN neurons were recorded in the perforated patch configur...

The thalamus, known as the pacemaker for spindle rhythms in sleep, has several enabling features that promote such pacemaking. These include a circuitry that interconnects large groups of excitatory and inhibitory neurons, all of which are essentially capable of firing high-frequency 'bursts' of discharges. Bursts in thalamic reticular neurons produce powerful inhibition in thalamic relay neuro...

a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: Direct rebound Indirect rebound Residential energy demand Energy efficiency Input–output model This is the second part of a two-part paper that integrates economic and industrial ecology methods to estimate the indirect rebound effect from residential energy efficiency investments. We apply the model developed in part one to simulate the indirect rebound, given a...

Cell-free extracts from human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) inhibited rebound granulopoiesis in the bone marrow and spleen of mice pretreated with cyclophosphamide to remove endogenous PMN. Absolute numbers of granulocytemonocyte progenitor cells (CFU-C) and net endogenous colony-stimulating activity (CSA) production were found to be increased 3 days after cyclophosphamide in the bone mar...

The output of the cerebellar cortex is controlled by two main inputs, (i.e., the climbing fiber and mossy fiber-parallel fiber pathway) and activations of these inputs elicit characteristic effects in its Purkinje cells: that is, the so-called complex spikes and simple spikes. Target neurons of the Purkinje cells in the cerebellar nuclei show rebound firing, which has been implicated in the pro...

BACKGROUND The adiposity rebound is the second rise in body mass index that occurs between 3 and 7 years. An early age at adiposity rebound is known to be a risk factor for later obesity. The aim here is to clarify the connection between the age at rebound and the corresponding pattern of body mass index change, in centile terms, so as to better understand its ability to predict later fatness. ...

To evaluate the GH regulating mechanism in acromegalic patients, post-inhibitory rebound rise in GH secretion induced by somatostatin was studied in these cases and normal subjects, and was compared with the rebound GH rise induced by dopamine. After somatostatin infusion (500 micrograms/75 min) both 5 normal and 9 acromegalic subjects showed prompt GH decreases during the infusion (% decrease:...
