Delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction to anthrax vaccine.

The Anthrax Vaccine Immunization Program is a Department of Defense initiative to protect military personnel against the threat of anthrax. Surveillance for adverse events associated with anthrax vaccination has shown that mild local reactions are not uncommon while systemic reactions are extremely rare. We present a case of 26-year-old male with delayed-type hypersensitivity after two doses of anthrax vaccine.

Renal sodium handling in children with nephrotic relapse: relation to hypovolaemic symptoms.

We studied renal sodium handling during water diuresis in children in the early phase of relapse of minimal lesion nephrotic syndrome (MLNS). Findings were related to presence or absence of symptoms suggestive of hypovolaemia, and to neurohumoral factors, and were compared to results of similar studies in the same children in remission. Nine children (aged 7.

Enhanced Neurohypophyseal Vasopressin Release is Associated with Increased Opioid Inhibition of Oxytocin Release.

Abstract We tested the hypothesis of a cross-inhibition of oxytocin (OT) release by endogenous opioid peptides co-released with vasopressin (VP). This opioid cross-inhibition resulted in a selective block of OT release and hence in preferential release of VP. The effects of the opiate receptor antagonist naloxone were tested on neurohypophyseal VP release during dehydration, ethanol administration and sulphated cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8S) application, assuming that the inhibition of pituitary OT release by endogenous opioids increases as neurohypophyseal VP output increases.

Vasopressin modulates the activity of catecholamine containing neurons in specific brain regions.
