1-Nitro-2-phenylethane, the main constituent of the essential oil of Aniba canelilla, elicits a vago-vagal bradycardiac and depressor reflex in normotensive rats.

Previously, it was shown that intravenous (i.v.) treatment with the essential oil of Aniba canelilla (EOAC) elicited a hypotensive response that is due to active vascular relaxation rather than to the withdrawal of sympathetic tone.

Role of ischemic preconditioning in liver transplant: a review of literature.

Interruption of blood flow and subsequent organ reperfusion lead to significant tissue damage. This well-studied phenomenon is recognized as ischemia/reperfusion injury. Ischemic preconditioning refers to a mechanism in which a prior, short, ischemic period induces some protection against a subsequent prolonged ischemic and reperfusion damage.

A rare case of invasive vaginal carcinoma associated with vaginal prolapse.

Background: The carcinoma of vagina is a rare entity in the gynecological oncology field and a standardized therapy is not established due to lack of clinical experience even in major oncology centers. To our knowledge, there have been no previous reports that assess the clinical experience of primary vaginal carcinoma associated with vaginal prolapse.

Case: A 73-year-old P11 L11 female presented with verrucous epidermoid carcinoma in prolapsed vagina which has occurred 16 years after transvaginal hysterectomy approached for treatment of third degree uterine prolapse associated with cervix decubital ulcer.
