PREVIOUS studies from this laboratory have shown that both intact and hypertensive rats exhibit a gradual but progressive fall in blood pressure when deprived of dietary potassium." Further studies have shown that this depressor response is associated with a loss of body potassium' 5 and a decrease of peripheral vascular reactivity to pressor agents.' 7 The possible involvement of the adrenal c...

Administration (3 to 100 microg/kg IV) of clonidine, rilmenidine, and an imidazoline derivative, 2-(2-chlorophenylamino)imidazoline, in pithed nonstimulated rabbits caused a dose-dependent increase in mean arterial pressure without affecting heart rate. Prazosin (0.1 mg/kg IV) almost abolished the pressor responses to 2-(2-chlorophenylamino)imidazoline, partially inhibited those induced by clon...

MANY ATTEMPTS have been made to establish the relationship between angiotensin, human hypertension, and experimental hypertension. Three groups have reported the successful demonstration of a pressor material in varying amounts in the blood of patients with benign and malignant hypertension.-3 Boucher, Biron, and Genest2 claim that the material they isolated gave pressor reactions, chemical rea...

An example of trigeminal trophic syndrome presenting as ulceration of ala nasi in a case of borderline tuberculoid leprosy is reported. To the best of our knowledge, this is only the second case report of this manifestation in leprosy to be documented.

Nasolabial cysts are nonodontogenic cysts that occur beneath the ala nasi. Its pathogenesis is uncertain. Because the nasolabial cyst is a soft tissue lesion, plain radiographs are useless. CT and MRI should be evaluated. In this report, a nasolabial cyst is described including its features on ultrasonography (USG) and CT exams.
