INTRODUCTION In maxillofacial surgery, the simplest procedure that we perform is dental extraction. However, this simple procedure is challenged by the patient's poor medical condition. We generally use local anesthesia in combination with adrenaline; however, as we come across patients with diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases who seek dental extraction, we need to be doubly cautious ...

Isolated human bronchial muscle was stimulated to contract by carbachol, acetylcholine, and histamine. The effects of adrenaline and the alphaand beta-adrenergic blocking drugs on these contractions were then observed. Phentolamine and phenoxybenzamine potentiated the relaxant effect of adrenaline. Phenoxybenzamine alone caused relaxation of bronchial muscle and inhibited the response to the va...

BASIC MAMMALIAN NEEDS Our current understanding of birth physiology is based on the adrenaline–oxytocin antagonism: when mammals release adrenaline they cannot release oxytocin. We use the word ‘adrenaline’ as a simplified way to refer to the ‘fight and flight system’. Such an antagonism has been understood for a long time and evaluated in relation to myometrial response (Zuspan 1962) and milk ...

OBJECTIVE To present the evidence regarding the safety of nebulization with 3-5 ml of adrenaline (1:1000) for the treatment of children with acute inflammatory airway obstruction. SOURCES OF DATA An electronic search was undertaken, using mainly Medline databases (January of 1949-July of 2004). The study inclusion criteria for this review were: 1) randomized clinical trial; 2) Patients (up to...

OBJECTIVE To compare vasopressin and adrenaline in the treatment of patients with cardiac arrest presenting to or in the Emergency Department (ED). DESIGN A randomised, double-blind, multi-centre, parallel-design clinical trial in four adult hospitals. METHOD Eligible cardiac arrest patients (confirmed by the absence of pulse, unresponsiveness and apnea) aged >16 (aged>21 for one hospital) ...

Exercise increases AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) activity in human and rat adipocytes, but the underlying molecular mechanisms and functional consequences of this activation are not known. Since adrenaline (epinephrine) concentrations increase with exercise, in the present study we hypothesized that adrenaline activates AMPK in adipocytes. We show that a single bout of exercise increases ...

Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) could modulate inflammation in experimental lung injury. On the other hand, adrenergic receptor agonists could increase DNA synthesis of stem cells. Therefore, we investigated the therapeutic role of adrenaline-stimulated BMSCs on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced lung injury. BMSCs were cultured with adrenergic receptor agonists or antagonists....

Aim: To compare results of repeated surveys (2010, 2015 and 2017) regarding the knowledge medical workforce potentially involved in adrenaline administration for emergency treatment anaphylaxis adults Methods: Convenience samples (and advanced nursing) staff were surveyed on three separate occasions 2017). Several educational methods used to increase awareness specific adrenaline. Results: Over...

1. Adrenaline has a biphasic effect on intracellular lipoprotein lipase activity and on endogenous triacylglycerol content in heparin-perfused heart. 2. A high concentration of adrenaline (1 microM in the perfusion buffer) activated endogenous lipoprotein lipase activity and, at the same time, decreased intracellular triacylglycerol stores. 3. In contrast, a low concentration (0.005 microM-adre...

THE OBJECTIVE WAS TO FIND OUT THE EFFECT OF INTEGRATED AMRITA MEDITATION TECHNIQUE (IAM) ON THE STRESS HORMONES: adrenaline and cortisol. One hundred and fifty healthy subjects were randomized into three groups. Blood was collected at 0 hour, 48 hours, 2 months, and 8 months after the first visit. Adrenaline was analyzed by ELISA and cortisol by Chemiluminescent method. In the IAM, PMR and cont...
