In the present study, we have tested the cortical arousal (Flicker's Test) and mnesic function (Buschke Test) before and after a short-term Lysine-Vasopressin (LVP) treatment in normal senescent male (Age: 64,3 +/- 3,4). We have not been able to evidence any objective nor subjective improvement in the LVP versus placebo treated group.

Objective: The present study investigated the impact of continuous infusion therapy with low-dose terlipressin (TP) combined with norepinephrine on hemodynamics, inflammatory markers, and prognosis in patients with severe septic shock.

Materials And Methods: Seventy-four patients with severe septic shock were randomly assigned to either a control group (n = 37) or an observation group (n = 37). Patients in the control group received norepinephrine alone, while those in the observation group received a continuous infusion of low-dose TP in addition to norepinephrine.
