Significant effects of mild endogenous hormonal changes in humans: considerations for low-dose testing.
We review the significant and adverse health effects that can occur with relatively small endogenous hormonal changes in pubertal and adult humans. We discuss the effects of hormonal changes that occur within normal physiologic ranges--such as the rising levels of estrogen in peripuberty, which cause growth spurts at low levels and then the fusion of epiphyses at higher levels--and the hormonal...
متن کاملSeizurogenic Effects of Low-dose Naloxone in Tramadol Overdose
Tramadol is used in treatment of moderate to severe pain. Nowadays tramadol overdose is one of the common emergencies. Naloxone is an antagonist which is used as a first step of treatment in these patients. This study was designed to evaluate the seizurogenic effects of naloxone in tramadol overdose. A number of 124 patients with the diagnosis of tramadol overdose were divided to receive lo...
متن کاملLow dose radiobiology: Mechanistic considerations
The question of whether very small doses of ionizing radiation really exert stochastic effects (i.e. induce harmful genetic effects, including cancer in a probablistic manner) has not been unequivocally settled. The much relied upon linear, no-threshold (LNT) hypothesis does not have convincing experimental evidence. As there are practical difficulties in generating data on genetic effects at v...
متن کاملChanges in salivary gland function following radioiodine therapy of thyroid diseases: A comparison of high-dose therapy for thyroid cancer and low-dose therapy for benign thyroid disease
Introduction: High-dose radioactive iodine therapy in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) may adversely affect the salivary gland function. This study is aimed to evaluate the effect of radioactive iodine (RAI) with dose of 100 mCi in DTC patients compared to lower doses of less than 30 mCi in hyperthyroid cases. Methods: Fifty four patients (13 men and 41 women) age: 42.3±14.3 (21-71) years w...
متن کاملEndogenous Hormonal Changes and Orcadian Elevation of Intraocular Pressure
A unique circadian rhythm of intraocular pressure (IOP) occurs in laboratory rabbits housed in a light-dark environment. The IOP is low in the light and high in the dark. In 32 rabbits studied, the IOP was 18.7 ± 0.3 mm Hg (mean ± the standard error of the mean) at 2 hr before the onset of dark and 24.9 ± 0.6 mm Hg at 2 hr into the dark. The changes in endogenous hormones corresponding to this ...
