Adrenocorticotropic hormone stimulation during adrenal vein sampling.
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone Stimulation During Adrenal Vein Sampling To the Editor: We read with interest the article by Seccia et al,1 which investigated the effect of adrenocorticotropic hormone stimulation during adrenal vein sampling on the identification of lateralized aldosterone excess in primary aldosteronism. The authors concluded that a high or an intermediate dose of adrenocorticotro...
متن کاملEffect of Intravenous or Perivascular Injection of Synthetic Adrenocorticotropic Hormone on Stimulation Test Results in Dogs
BACKGROUND Standard protocols for adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulation testing (ACTHst) often involve intravenous (IV) injection of corticotropin. ACTH might be unintentionally injected into the perivascular (PV) space. OBJECTIVE To compare stimulation test results after IV and PV injections of ACTH. ANIMALS Twenty privately owned dogs were studied: 10 healthy and 10 with trilosta...
متن کاملBiological Variability in Serum Cortisol Concentration Post‐adrenocorticotropic Hormone Stimulation in Healthy Dogs
BACKGROUND The ACTH stimulation has low sensitivity for the diagnosis of hypercortisolism possibly as a result of biological and analytical variability. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES To report the components of biological and analytical variability in serum cortisol concentration post-ACTH stimulation ([cortisol]) in healthy dogs. ANIMALS Fourteen healthy harrier hound dogs. METHODS The data were...
متن کاملRadiographic assessment of pulmonary fluid clearance in healthy neonatal foals.
We characterized the kinetics of postnatal equine lung using sequential thoracic radiography. The aim was to establish the earliest time when normal foals have clear, radiolucent lung fields, and to characterize the pattern of this clearance. Both right-to-left and left-to-right thoracic radiographs were acquired in lateral recumbency at peak inspiration within the first 30 min after birth and ...
متن کاملNeonatal encephalopathy in foals.
Neonatal encephalopathy is a common central nervous system disorder of neonatal foals and human infants, resulting in clinical signs such as lethargy, inappropriate behavior, seizures, and other neurologic deficits. Although neonatal encephalopathy is frequently seen in equine practice, a paucity of veterinary clinical and basic science research data is available. Therefore, the pathophysiologi...
