Substance P as a potential biomarker of pain assessment in dogs
Background: Substance P (SP) is a neuropeptide that functions as a neuromodulator. It is released mainly in the brain stem and in nerve endings. Aims: The present study aimed to provide fundamental data that may be applied to the assessment of pain in dogs by evaluating their serum SP concentrations. Methods: Two groups of dogs were designated ...
متن کاملLaryngomalacia presenting as severe uncontrolled asthma
Congenital laryngomalacia is the most common cause of stridor in infants and usually resolves without therapy by 12-18 months of age. However, a recent study found that laryngomalacia may leave structural and functional traces with increased risk of later respiratory symptoms, suggesting that late-onset laryngomalacia may represent long-term consequences of milder or even undiagnosed forms. Unu...
متن کاملThyrotropin-releasing Hormone Stimulation of Adrenocorticotropin Production
pituitary tumors in situ, AtT-20/NYU-1 cells were found to produce the alpha subunit of the glycoprotein hormones (alpha). Alpha accumulation in the medium was constant (3.1 ng/mg cell protein per h) and was not affected by TRH. In contrast, TRH increased the amount of ACTH accumulated in the medium from AtT-20/NYU-1 cells to 190 and 420% of control at 1 and 24 h, respectively. TRH induced a do...

1. Adrenocorticotropin (ACTH)-induced steroidogenesis, obtained by continuous administration of ACTH for 3 days, produces in man (a) sustained elevations of plasma deoxycorticosterone and cortisol concentrations, (b) transient elevations of plasma aldosterone and 18-hydroxycorticosterone concentrations that return to near-control values, and (c) brisk initial increases in plasma 18-hydroxydeoxy...
متن کاملArgininemia as a cause of severe chronic stunting and partial growth hormone deficiency (PGHD)
RATIONALE Argininemia is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder of the urea cycle. Because of its atypical symptoms in early age, diagnosis can be delayed until the typical chronic manifestations - including spastic diplegia, deterioration in cognitive function, and epilepsy - appear in later childhood. PATIENT CONCERNS A Chinese boy initially presented with severe stunting and partial gro...
