Type 2 myocardial infarction resulted from the left thoracic stomach

Abstract The universal definition of myocardial infarction (MI) provides five subtypes of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We present an interesting case of a type 2 myocardial infarction caused by the dilation of the left thoracic stomach....

Neurokinin-1 receptor antagonists for postoperative nausea and vomiting: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 70 (5), 2020
Abstract Background: Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV) is a common complication of general anesthesia. Several kinds of antiemetics, including 5-Hydroxytryptamine3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonists, and Neurokinin-1 (NK-1) receptor antagonists have been used to treat PONV. Objectives: To compare the ...

RNA-seq analysis of the response of plant-pathogenic oomycete Phytophthora parasitica to the fungicide dimethomorph

Rev. argent. microbiol; 51 (3), 2019
Phytophthora parasitica is an important oomycete that causes disease in a variety of plants, dimethomorph fungicides being specific for oomycetes. The aim of this study was to use RNA-seq to rapidly discover the mechanism by which dimethomorph acts in the treatment of P. parasitica. We found that the exp...

Salvinorin A preserves cerebral pial artery autoregulation after forebrain ischemia via the PI3K/AKT/cGMP pathway

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (5), 2018
This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of salvinorin A on the cerebral pial artery after forebrain ischemia and explore related mechanisms. Thirty Sprague-Dawley rats received forebrain ischemia for 10 min. The dilation responses of the cerebral pial artery to hypercapnia and hypotension w...

Exenatide ameliorates hepatic steatosis and attenuates fat mass and FTO gene expression through PI3K signaling pathway in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (8), 2018
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common disease associated with metabolic syndrome and can lead to life-threatening complications like hepatic carcinoma and cirrhosis. Exenatide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist antidiabetic drug, has the capacity to overcome insulin resis...

Characterization of the binding of delmopinol to salivary precipitates

Braz. dent. j; 12 (3), 2001
O objetivo do trabalho é determinar a quantidade de delmopinol associado com cada componente salivar de diferente peso molecular. Saliva não estimulada foi coletada com cinco indivíduos e misturada com delmopinol radioativo obtendo-se uma concentração final de 9,7 mM. As misturas de saliva e delmopi...
