Intravenous infusion of two separate doses of angiotensin II in pentobarbital-anesthetized, desipramine-treated animals produced dose-related increases in arterial blood pressure and caused significant potentiation of the cardioacceleration observed during the stimulation of the right postganglionic cardiac sympathetic nerve fibers. Positive chronotropic effects of intravenous norepinephrine were not altered during angiotensin II infusion. Prior administration of Saralasin, an angiotensin receptor antagonist, caused significant attenuation of the pressor action of angiotensin II, and also significantly antagonized the facilitatory effect of angiotensin II on sympathetic transmission to the myocardium. These results suggest that angiotensin II can cause facilitation of sympathetic nerve function to the myocardium via an action on angiotensin receptors which may be located on sympathetic nerve terminals.

NLRP3 inflammasome and gut microbiota-brain axis: a new perspective on white matter injury after intracerebral hemorrhage.

Intracerebral hemorrhage is the most dangerous subtype of stroke, characterized by high mortality and morbidity rates, and frequently leads to significant secondary white matter injury. In recent decades, studies have revealed that gut microbiota can communicate bidirectionally with the brain through the gut microbiota-brain axis. This axis indicates that gut microbiota is closely related to the development and prognosis of intracerebral hemorrhage and its associated secondary white matter injury.

Introduction And Importance: Sympathetic paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors arising from the sympathetic nervous system.
Case Presentation: We present a case of a 48-year-old woman with an extremely rare paraganglioma arising from the cervical sympathetic chain that was presented to the emergency department with symptoms of respiratory insufficiency and dysphagia. Imaging revealed a highly vascularized tumor originating from the jugular fossa.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) for Management of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS).

Objectives: Complex regional pain syndrome remains a challenging condition characterized by severe, persistent pain and a variety of inflammatory and trophic symptoms. This study aimed to analyze the current literature to evaluate hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)'s efficacy in treating complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), focusing on both sympathetically-maintained pain (SMP) and sympathetically-independent pain (SIP) subtypes.
Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed Clinical Queries using the MeSH term "Complex Regional Pain Syndromes" OR the keyword "CRPS" AND "Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy" OR the keyword "HBOT".
The Autonomic Nervous System and Inflammation in Chronic Kidney Disease.

The autonomic nervous system plays a crucial role in regulating physiological processes and maintaining homeostasis through its two branches: the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the parasympathetic nervous system. Dysregulation of the autonomic system, characterized by increased sympathetic activity and reduced parasympathetic tone, is a common feature in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiovascular disease. This imbalance contributes to a pro-inflammatory state, exacerbating disease progression and increasing the risk for cardiovascular events.
