Human subjects performed step-tracking movements of the wrist in the radial direction. Movement amplitude, external load, and accuracy instructions were varied. We used surface electrodes to record muscle activity from an agonist, extensor carpi radialis longus, and an antagonist, extensor carpi ulnaris. When subjects performed movements “as fast as possible” that were opposed by different exte...

Intradialysis hypotension (IDH) is the most common complication during hemodialysis procedure. Midodrine, an oral α-1 adrenergic agonist, commonly used to prevent IDH. However, limited data available demonstrate midodrine effectiveness in prevention of IDH high-risk patients.

objective(s) the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of cannabinoid on cortical spreading depression (csd) in rat brain. cannabis has been used for centuries for both symptomatic and prophylactic treatment of different types of headaches including migraine. csd is believed to be a putative neuronal mechanism underlying migraine aura and subsequent pain. materials and methods the ...

routinely, a bolus of 5.000-10.000 iu human chorionic gonadotropin (hcg) is usedfor the final follicular maturation and ovulation as a standard method. hcg has thesame effect of luteinizing hormone (lh) with long half-life. it has the longlutheotrophic effect which increases the risk of ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome(ohss). recently, gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (gnrh-a) trigger h...

the present work was performed to show the possible interaction of gab a, and gabab receptors in catalepsy. the following results were obtained: 1- muscimol (mus), a gabaa agonist, induced catalepsy. this effect was dose-dependent. baclofen (bac), a gabab agonist, had no effect in this respect. 2- catalepsy induced by muscimol was potentiated by pretreatment of animals with bicuculline (bic), a...

Retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptors (ROR, nomenclature as agreed by the NC-IUPHAR Subcommittee on Nuclear Hormone Receptors [11, 3]) have yet to be assigned a definitive endogenous ligand, although RORα may synthesized with ‘captured’ agonist such cholesterol [68, 67].

Background Methadone, a full opioid agonist, and buprenorphine, partial agonist at the receptor, are established first-line medications for maintenance therapy. Transition from methadone to sublingual buprenorphine may precipitate withdrawal is usually performed only in patients on low dose of (<30–40 mg). novel subcutaneous depot (Buvidal) has not been previously described.Objectives To test h...
