GROSSMAN, S. P. AND J. W. HENNESSY. Differential effects of cuts through the posterior hypothalamus on ebod intake and body weight in male and female rats. PHYSIOL. BEHAV. 17(1) 89-102, 1976. Large knife cuts in the coronal plane through the posterior hypothalamus which transected the caudal connections of the medial hypothalamus without producing significant direct damage to cellular component...

Energy homeostasis is kept through a complex interplay of nutritional, neuronal and hormonal inputs that are integrated at the level of the central nervous system (CNS). A disruption of this regulation gives rise to life-threatening conditions that include obesity and type-2 diabetes, pathologies that are strongly linked epidemiologically and experimentally. The hypothalamus is a key integrator...

TOPIC: Critical Care TYPE: Medical Student/Resident Case Reports INTRODUCTION: A Dieulafoy's lesion was first described by Dr. M. T. Gallard in 1884, but the name followed after a French surgeon, Paul Georges Dieulafoy, who presented three cases of "submucosal arterioles" stomach 1898. Although this is rare lesion, it an important etiology gastrointestinal (GI) hemorrhage that clinicians need t...

Estradiol and progesterone bind to their respective receptors in the hypothalamus and hippocampus to influence a variety of behavioral and physiological functions, including reproduction and cognition. Work from our lab and others has shown that the nuclear receptor coactivators, steroid receptor coactivator-1 (SRC-1) and SRC-2, are essential for efficient estrogen receptor (ER) and progestin r...

background & aim: according to presence of immune system factors in chronic periapical lesions, hypersensitivity reactions may have some role in pathogenesis of these lesions. up to now, among the factors participating in type i hypersensitivity reaction, only one of them has been studied. so the aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the presence of ige & number of mast cel...

objective(s): there are many reports about the role of rostral ventromedial medulla (rvm) in modulating stress-induced analgesia (sia). in the previous study we demonstrated that temporal inactivation of rvm by lidocaine potentiated stress-induced analgesia. in this study, we investigated the effect of permanent lesion of the rvm on sia by using formalin test as a model of acute inflammatory pa...

introduction: this study evaluated the diagnostic value of the dipyridamole induced electrocardiuogram (ecg) cahnges, comparing with myocardial perfusion imaging. materials and methods: 222 patinets were studied with dipyridamole infusion (based on ecg criteria) as well as dipyridamole-myocardial perfusion imaging (mpi). results: abnormal dipyridamole test and abnormal mpi were noted in 11% and...
