We have previously shown the existence of a novel peripheral reflex inhibitorily modulating the vas deferens sympathetic activity. An interaction between noradrenergic and histamine-containing neurons is involved in this reflex. As an overall mechanism of sympathetic autoregulation, we found that enhanced sympathetic activity in the rat during the stress induced by brief inescapable footshocks caused a marked rise of blood histamine that was seemingly dependent upon sympathetic activity. This rise was prevented by either previous ganglionic blockade with hexamethonium or chronic guanethidine-induced sympathectomy. Previous adrenal demedullation did not impair this rise. Thus, it appears that only the sympathetic postganglionic neuron, interacting with a histamine-containing neuron, is involved in the rise of blood histamine induced by footshocks.

Proton pump inhibitors and all-cause mortality risk among cancer patients.

Department of Supportive Oncology, Atrium Health Levine Cancer, Charlotte, NC 28204, United States.

Background: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely used, including among cancer patients, to manage gastroesophageal reflux and other gastric acid-related disorders. Recent evidence suggests associations between long-term PPI use and higher risks for various adverse health outcomes, including greater mortality.

Aim: To investigate the association between PPI use and all-cause mortality among cancer patients by a comprehensive analysis after adjustment for various confounders and a robust methodological approach to minimize bias.

Histamine intolerance is becoming a critical medical problem across numerous clinical specialties, due to the absence of a standardized diagnostic and therapeutic strategy to manage patients with a suspicion of or diagnosis of this condition. Histamine intolerance is a type of non-immune food hypersensitivity, characterized by heterogenous etiologies and a very broad range of symptoms. The condition is the result of an imbalance between the amount of histamine accumulated within the body and the body's systemic ability to degrade it.
