RATIONALE Glaucoma drainage implant surgery is a treatment option for the management of neovascular glaucoma. However, tube obstruction by blood clot after Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implantation is an unpredictable clinically challenging situation. PATIENT CONCERNS-DIAGNOSES-INTERVENTIONS We report 4 cases using intracameral air injection for the prevention of the tube obstruction of AGV by ...

To elucidate the effect of the arginine vasopressin (AVP) system in vivo, especially V1 and V2 activity, on blood pressure, we measured the acute changes in blood pressure and heart rate after AVP, OPC-21,268 (a V1 receptor antagonist), and OPC-31,260 (a V2 receptor antagonist) were injected intravenously in anesthetized spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats at the a...

The drive toward minimally invasive surgery has yielded multiple benefits for patients but also increased the incidence of pseudoaneurysms (PSA). current standard care is ultrasound-guided thrombin injection to coagulate blood in PSA sac and seal ruptured vessel. There is, however, a risk downstream thrombosis if escapes into communicating vessel this limits patient eligibility injection. In st...

introduction lidocaine plus epinephrine is the most common anesthetic drug used in dentistry which has important cardiovascular side-effects like increase in blood pressure and cardiac arrhythmia. the goal of this study was to evaluat cardiovascular effects of one cartridge of 2% lidocaine + 1:80000 epinephrine. methods and materials 60 cases without any systemic diseases who had been admitted ...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of repeated injections of oxytocin on blood pressure and heart rate in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). For this purpose subcutaneous (s.c.) injections of oxytocin 1 mg/kg or saline were given for 5 days to male and female SHR. Blood pressure and heart rate were measured daily before, during and after the oxytocin treatment perio...

ferula asafoetida contains coumarins and sesquiterpens compounds that have been traditionally used to treat diseases such as nervous disorders, asthma, gastrointestinal disease and epilepsy. sulfur-containing compounds of asafoetida act as antioxidants. this study aimed to investigate the effect of four levels of water-alcoholic extract of asafoetida on reproductive performance of male wistar r...

we have studied the ulcerogenic effect of indomethacin in stretozocin. induced diabetic rats. streptozocin (65 mg kg-1) was injected intraperitoneally to male wistar rats. the blood glucose concentration was determined continuously. blood glucose level increased significantly (p<0.001) after 30 days. gastric erosions were induced by intraperitoneal injection of indomethacin (50 mg kg-1) in fast...

1. To assess the relative importance of vascular as opposed to plasma renin, groups of conscious rats received a single intravenous injection of partially purified rat renin 18 h after bilateral nephrectomy. Blood pressure was monitored continuously and plasma and aortic renin concentrations were determined at 1, 3, 6 or 9 h after injection. In separate groups of rats the effect of the competit...
