conclusions both dexmedetomidine and esmolol can be used as agents to control hypotension in patients undergoing lumbar spine decompression and fixation surgery; the dexmedetomidine group, however, was associated with better intraoperative hemodynamic stability and reduced intraoperative analgesic and volatile anaesthetic requirement. results the study results showed that dexmedetomidine had lo...

Introduction: The central mechanism related to the cardiovascular response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced hypotension is not entirely known, but it is suggested that numerous brain areas such as dorsal periaqueductal gray (dPAG) are involved in this process. In the current work, the cardiovascular effect of the dPAG during LPS-induced hypotension is investigated. Methods: The study animal...

Fluoxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that exerts its anti-depressive effect by blocking the presynaptic reuptake of the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-HT). Although fluoxetine is usually considered safe for most patients, in the present case report, we describe a young patient with mixed anxiety and depression disorder (MADD) treated with fluoxetine 10 mg/day, who develo...

background:organophosphates are commercially available agrochemicals for pest control, but may be abused for deliberate self-poisoning. we report a case of suicidal ingestion of dimethoate, a moderately toxic organophosphate insecticide, which can cause refractory hemodynamic instability, and the successful use of methylene blue (mb) for counteracting this complication. case presentation: an un...

Comparison of hemodynamic changes (cardiac output, renal plasma flow, and extremity blood flow) observed during reserpine-induced hypotension with those occurring during pentoliniuminduced hypotension suggests better adaptation following reserpine. This difference is believed to be related to the gradation of onset of hypotension. It was found that reserpine-induced hypotension is potentiated b...
