The effect of tricyclic antidepressants on stress-induced heart rate changes in panic disorder patients.

Acta Psychiatr Scand

Department of Psychiatry, Wayne State University, School of Medicine, Detroit, Michigan.

Published: September 1987

Eight panic disorder patients participated in a double-blind placebo-controlled infusion study designed to induce panic-anxiety in the laboratory both before and after treatment with tricyclic antidepressants. Pre-infusion heart rates for the first infusion were significantly higher than baseline both before and after treatment. The delta increase in pre-infusion heart rates from baseline and the ratios of pre-infusion heart rates to baseline values were not significantly different between before and after treatment conditions indicating similar levels of arousal during the two pre-infusion periods, while the pre-infusion anxiety ratings after treatment were significantly lower.

Background: The main aim of the study whether changes in central venous-to-arterial CO difference (ΔP(v-a)CO) and central venous oxygen saturation (ΔScvO) induced by volume expansion (VE) are reliable parameters to define fluid responsiveness (FR) in sedated and mechanically ventilated septic patients. We also sought to determine whether the degree of FR was related to baseline ScvO and P(v-a)CO levels.

Methods: This was a post-hoc analysis of a multicenter prospective study.

Unlabelled: Anaemia is a well-known global health concern in the South Asian countries, and it is estimated that India has the utmost prevalence of anaemia and maternal deaths due to iron deficiency anaemia. This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of intravenous ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) in antenatal women with anaemia in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy.

Methods: A single-arm prospective cohort (before-after) study among 60 antenatal women with moderate to severe anaemia in the second and third trimesters was conducted from December 2020 to December 2022, and the eligible women were given 1000 mg of intravenous FCM injection.

Background: Alcohol consumption is associated with a higher increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF), but the acute effects on cardiac electrophysiology in humans remain poorly understood. The HOw ALcohol InDuces Atrial TachYarrhythmias (HOLIDAY) Trial revealed that alcohol shortened pulmonary vein atrial effective refractory periods, but more global electrophysiologic changes gleaned from the surface ECG have not yet been reported.

Methods: This was a secondary analysis of the HOLIDAY Trial.

The effect of dobutamine treatment on salvage of digital replantation and revascularization.

Eur J Trauma Emerg Surg

October 2023

Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Meram Faculty of Medicine, Necmettin Erbakan University, Konya, Turkey.

Purpose: One of the most common causes of a failure after replantation and revascularization surgeries is 'no reflow' from proximal artery that occurs, especially following crush and avulsion injuries. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of dobutamine treatment on salvage of replanted and revascularized digits.

Methods: The patients with no reflow phenomenon detected in the salvage operations of replanted/revascularized digits between the years 2017 and 2020 were included in the study.

This study aimed to determine the effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced mastitis with or without nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) on dairy cows' clinical, physiological, and behavioral responses in the milking parlor and freestalls as well as the specificity (Sp) and sensitivity (Se) of behavioral responses in detecting cows with LPS-induced mastitis. Twenty-seven cows received an intramammary infusion of 25 µg of Escherichia coli LPS in 1 healthy quarter. Following LPS infusion, 14 cows received a placebo (LPS cows), and 13 cows received 3 mg/kg of body weight of ketoprofen i.
