3D excretory MR urography: improved image quality with intravenous saline and diuretic administration.
PURPOSE To assess the effect of diuretic administration on the image quality of excretory magnetic resonance urography (MRU) obtained following intravenous hydration, and to determine whether intravenous hydration alone is sufficient to produce diagnostic quality studies of nondilated upper tracts. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 22 patients with nondilated upper tracts were evaluated with c...
متن کاملIntravenous self-administration of morphine and cocaine: a comparative study.
The aim of the present study was to estimate differences between patterns of morphine and cocaine use in Sprague-Dawley rats. This was done by first developing a set of conditions under which both drugs would be consistently self-administered over time. Subsequently rats were studied in groups of three, with only one rat actively self-administering morphine or cocaine while others two receiving...
متن کاملMR Cholangiopancreatography: Does butylscopolamine (Buscopan®) make a difference to ductal visualization?
INTRODUCTION: Heavily T2-weighted high-resolution 3D sequences using respiratory compensation methods have become the standard for magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) examinations [1]. Due to the long acquisition time, this type of sequence is susceptible to motion artifact from surrounding bowel structures. Butylscopolamine (Buscopan® Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH) is often used as ...
متن کاملOffice bladder distention with Electromotive Drug Administration (EMDA) is equivalent to distention under General Anesthesia (GA)
BACKGROUND Bladder distention is commonly used in diagnosis and treatment of interstitial cystitis (IC). Traditionally performed in the operating room under general or spinal anesthesia (GA), it is expensive and associated with short term morbidity. Office bladder distention using electromotive drug administration (EMDA) has been suggested as an alternative that is well tolerated by patients. W...
متن کاملThe effect of L-arginine and L-NAME on intravenous self-administration of morphine in rats
The involvement of nitric oxide (NO) in the reinforcing properties of opiate reward was studied by examining the effect of a NO precursor (L-arginine) and a NO synthase inhibitor (L-NAME) on the rate of intravenous self-administration of morphine. This experiment was investigated in male albino Sprague Dawley rats (300 ± 50 g). At doses of 5 and 10 mg/kg (i.p.), L-arginine decreased morphine ...
