objective: in the present study, we examined the effects of memantine administration within the nucleus accumbens on the alterations in brain and adrenal volumes and weight ratios induced by stress from electric foot shock. methods: a group of mice received various doses of memantine (0.1, 0.5 and 1 mg/kg) prior to induction of stress. another group underwent intra-accumbal cannulation after an...

Ten patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (three males, seven females; aged 12-29 years) had their usual glucocorticoid treatment changed to dexamethasone in three crossover dosage regimens. A starting dose of 5 micrograms/kg/day is suggested but as no one dose regimen resulted in adequate control the timing of the dose must be decided for each patient.

introduction: intensity modulated radiation therapy (imrt) is one of the cancer treatment methods. it is important to selectively aim at the target in this way, which can be performed using a multileaf collimator (mlc). materials and methods: in order to specifically irradiate the target volume in radiotherapy to reduce the patient absorbed dose, the use of multileaf collimator has been investi...

Highlight: The diagnosis and therapy of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) children with crisis (AC) case report. is a life-threatening emergency that contributes to the high death rate adrenal insufficiency. early detection prompt treatment can improve outcomes patients CAH AC. Abstract: acute complication patient congenital hyperplasia. hyperplasia rare condition. Children commonly come roo...

Adrenal insufficiency, though rare, is a well-known complication of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Over the past 9 years at the National Taiwan University Hospital, 4 patients were diagnosed with primary adrenal insufficiency among 854 non-hemophiliac patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection, with an incidence of 0.19 per 100 patient-years (95% confidence interval, 0.17-...

In this case-report we describe the fatal outcome of systemic vasculitis. A 51-year-old man was hospitalised with constant abdominal pain, chest pain, anorexia, fatigue, weight loss, dyspeptic complaints, and a period of high fever at home. Bilateral adrenal enlargement was found without a plausible cause. Endoscopy revealed a reflux oesophagitis grade I, which was treated with famotidine. His ...

background: patient radiation doses from computed tomography (ct) are increasing due to the number of ct examinations performed every day. the aim of this study was assess and evaluate patient radiation doses for adult’s common ct examinations to derive local diagnostic guidance levels for common ct examinations. materials and methods: volume and weighted computed tomography dose index (ctdivol...

A 50-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of general malaise. Laboratory tests revealed severe hyponatremia (104 mEq/L), which was attributed to central adrenal insufficiency. To treat presumed central diabetes insipidus (CDI), we administered a small dose of hydrocortisone and gradually increased it to maintenance doses to prevent osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS). Serum sodium...

abstract a 26 -year- old woman presented with rhabdomyolysis secondary to severe hypokalemia. hypertension and metabolic alkalosis could lead to the suspicion of primary aldosteronism, which was confirmed by a decreased plasma rennin, elevated plasma aldosterone levels and high aldosterone/rennin ratio additionally. additionally adrenal computed tomography showed an adrenal tumour. blood pressu...

21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-ohd) caused congenital adrenal hyperplasia (cah) is a group of autosomal recessive genetic disorders resulting from mutations in genes involved with cortisol (co) synthesis in the adrenal glands. testicular adrenal rest tumors (tarts) are rarely the presenting symptoms of cah. here, we describe a case of simple virilizing cah with tarts, in a 15-year-old boy. the p...
