Recurrent cholestasis following ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome: case report. (1/160)
This is a case report illustrating a patient who developed recurrent cholestasis during a twin pregnancy following in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. On the first occasion cholestasis developed unusually in the first trimester, and on the second occasion, it presented in the way that obstetric cholestasis (OC) is commonly seen in the third trimester. (+info)The effect of methyldopa on retinal artery circulation in pre-eclamptic gravidae. (2/160)
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of methyldopa on retinal artery circulation in pre-eclamptic gravidae using color Doppler imaging and spectral analysis. METHODS: Fifty-three pre-eclamptic singleton gravidae of gestational age greater than 22 weeks were examined. Patients with sustained hypertension after 1-2 days hospital rest were treated with oral antihypertensive medication, 250-500 mg methyldopa, three to four times a day for a minimum of 5-7 days. The right central retinal arteries were insonated and Doppler waveform values were analysed before and after medication. RESULTS: The change of the maternal heart rate after methyldopa treatment was -3.96 +/- 7.88 beats per min (P = 0.0006). The change of fetal heart rate was not significantly altered. The change of the diastolic arterial blood pressure after treatment was -4.19 +/- 12.36 mmHg (P = 0.0169). In 36 gravidae, in whom hypotensive effects were noted after treatment with methyldopa, the increase in peak velocity, end-diastolic velocity and mean velocity of the retinal artery were 2.41 +/- 2.20 (P < 0.0001); 1.48 +/- 1.23 (P < 0.0001) and 1.70 +/- 1.42 (P < 0.0001), respectively. The decrease in pulsatility index of the retinal artery after treatment with methyldopa was -0.17 +/- 0.22 (P < 0.0001). In the remaining 17 gravidae, in whom no hypotensive effects were noted after treatment with methyldopa, the decrease in end-diastolic velocity and mean velocity were -1.50 +/- 1.70 (P = 0.0022) and -0.98 +/- 1.90 (P = 0.0488), respectively. The increase in pulsatility index was 0.34 +/- 0.30 (P = 0.0003). CONCLUSIONS: In pre-eclamptic gravidae in whom the hypotensive effects were noted after treatment with methyldopa, the mean velocity of the retinal arteries was significantly higher and the mean pulsatility index lower after treatment. We conclude that the hypotensive effect of methyldopa in pre-eclamptic gravidae is associated with a significant decrease in retinal artery vascular resistance. (+info)Prolactin in hypertensive pregnancy. (3/160)
Plasma prolactin levels were measured in 68 pregnant women with hypertension at 32 weeks gestation. They were raised in pregnancies with pre-eclamptic features, most significantly in women with a rising plasma urate level. No correlation was found between the level of the untreated blood pressure and prolactin. Proteinuria did not influence prolactin levels independently of changes in the plasma urate. The differences in prolactin levels could not be ascribed to the drugs administered. (+info)Effect of phenobarbital and spironolactone treatment on the oxidative metabolism of antipyrine by rat liver microsomes. (4/160)
The effects of pretreating rats with the inducers, phenobarbital or spironolactone, on the formation rate of the three major oxidative metabolites of antipyrine in vitro by hepatic microsomal fractions have been investigated. Both inducers reduced the rate of 3-methylhydroxylation of antipyrine by approximately 50%. In contrast, N-demethylation and 4-hydroxylation were enhanced 1.7-fold and 3.4-fold, respectively, in case of phenobarbital induction and 1.4-fold and 2.6-fold, respectively, following spironolactone treatment. To elucidate the role of some cytochrome P450 isoenzymes in the production of the three major metabolites of antipyrine, the effects of form selective enzyme inhibitors on antipyrine oxidation were also studied. Troleandomycin did not alter 3-methylhydroxylation but reduced both N-demethylation and 4-hydroxylation of antipyrine in microsomes from induced rat liver. Cimetidine and chloramphenicol decreased the rate of formation of all three metabolites in microsomes from induced and uninduced animal livers as well. Chloramphenicol seemed to be the most potent inhibitor of in vitro antipyrine oxidation. Alpha-methyldopa significantly enhanced the rate of formation of 4-hydroxyantipyrine and slightly reduced the rate of N-demethylation and 3-methylhydroxylation. According to the data obtained with microsomes from uninduced rat livers, the formation of the three major metabolites of antipyrine is extensively mediated by CYP2C11/C6. In microsomes from induced animal liver, CYP2B and CYP3A may contribute to both N-demethylation and 4-hydroxylation of antipyrine. (+info)Relationship between treatment-induced changes in left ventricular mass and blood pressure in black african hypertensive patients: results of the Baragwanath Trial. (5/160)
BACKGROUND: In a single-center study, we compared to what extent changes in conventional and ambulatory blood pressure (BP) predicted regression of left ventricular mass (LVM) index in response to antihypertensive treatment in previously untreated and treated patients with sustained hypertension. METHODS AND RESULTS: We enrolled 173 black African patients who, off treatment, had a daytime diastolic BP ranging from 90 to 114 mm Hg. Antihypertensive drugs were titrated and combined to reduce the daytime diastolic BP below 90 mm Hg. Echocardiograms were obtained at baseline and follow-up. Mean systolic/diastolic clinic BP, 24-hour BP, and LVM index were similar in previously untreated (n=64) and previously treated (n=109) patients and averaged 171/102 mm Hg, 151/97 mm Hg, and 118 g/m2, respectively. At 4 months, these values had decreased (P<0.001) by 26/12 mm Hg, 23/14 mm Hg, and 14 g/m2 in previously untreated patients and by 22/9 mm Hg, 21/13 mm Hg, and 19 g/m2 in previously treated patients. In the previously untreated patients, the regression in LVM index correlated to a similar degree (P=0.09) with the decreases in the conventional (r=0.34; P=0.005) and the 24-hour (r=0.26; P=0.04) systolic BP. In the previously treated patients, the corresponding correlations were 0.02 (P=0.82) and -0.10 (P=0.32), respectively. Compared with the 24-hour systolic BP, automated oscillometric measurements of systolic BP obtained at the clinic yielded similar results. CONCLUSIONS: In previously untreated patients with sustained hypertension followed at a single center, reductions in clinic and ambulatory systolic pressure in response to antihypertensive treatment equally predicted the regression in LVM index. (+info)Cardiovascular effects of dopamine after central administration into conscious cats. (6/160)
Dopamine (30 and 45 mug) administered intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) to a group of 10 conscious normotensive cats caused dose-related increases in blood pressure and heart rate. In 4 of these animals the initial cardiovascular stimulant effects of i.c.v. dopamine were followed by hypotension and bradycardia. 2 alpha-Methyldopamine (30 and 45 mug i.c.v.) produced qualitatively similar responses to dopamine except that the cardiovascular stimulant effects were smaller and the secondary depressant effects somewhat more prolonged. 3 Both stimulant and depressant effects of i.c.v. dopamine and alpha-methyldopamine were greatly inhibited by autonomic ganglion blockade or by adrenergic neurone blockade. 4 The cardiovascular stimulant effects of both i.c.v. dopamine and i.c.v. alpha-methyldopamine were selectively inhibited by beta-adrenoceptor blocking agents whilst the cardiovascular depressant effects of these substances were abolished by the alpha-adrenoceptor blocker phentolamine or by the dopamine-beta-hydroxylase inhibitor disulfiram. 5 Haloperidol by either i.c.v. or the intravenous route abolished both cardiovascular stimulant and depressant effects of i.c.v. dopamine, whilst pimozide by either route inhibited only the cardiovascular stimulant effects. 6 In 2 cats, injection of dopamine into the cisterna magna produced predominantly depressant effects on the cardiovascular system except with a higher dose which induced biphasic responses. (+info)Isolation of isoflavones inhibiting DOPA decarboxylase from fungi and streptomyces. (7/160)
By screening of culture filtrates of fungi and streptomyces for activity in inhibit dopa decarboxylase the following isoflavone compounds were obtained: psi-tectorigenen (I), genistein (II), orobol (IV), 8-hydroxygenistein (V) and a new compound (III). III was elucidated to be 3', 4', 5, 7-tetrahydroxy-8methoxy isoflavone. Among these isoflavones, IV and III showed the strongest activity in inhibiting dopa decarboxylase. All these isoflavones also inhibited histidine decarboxylase and catechol-O-methyltrasnferase. Activities of these compounds to inhibit tyrosine hydroxylase and dopamine beta-hydroxylase were examined. Orobol which showed no or only slight inhibition of tyrosine hydroxylase and dopamine beta-hydroxylase exhibited a significant hypotensive effect on spontaneously hypertensive rats. (+info)The effect of antihypertensive drugs on the fetus. (8/160)
A critical review of the literature on the effects of antihypertensive drugs on the fetus in pregnant women is presented. The survey covers the alpha-adrenergic receptor agonists, beta-blockers including topical eye medications, alpha-beta blockers, calcium antagonists, diuretics, and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. The lack of data on angiotensin II receptor blockers is noted although effects are considered to be similar to those reported with ACE inhibitors and therefore to be avoided. Analysis of the literature underscores that some antihypertensive drugs can be used safely at certain stages of pregnancy, while others are suspect and to be avoided at all costs. The lack of placebo-controlled studies on the treatment of severe hypertension in pregnancy due to ethical considerations is discussed against the background of the pressing need to treat these women despite the possible deleterious effects of antihypertensive drugs. (+info)Methyldopa is a centrally acting antihypertensive drug, which means it works in the brain to lower blood pressure. It is a synthetic derivative of the amino acid L-DOPA and acts as a false neurotransmitter, mimicking the action of norepinephrine in the brain. This results in decreased sympathetic outflow from the central nervous system, leading to vasodilation and reduced blood pressure. Methyldopa is used primarily for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) and is available in oral formulations.
Oxprenolol is a non-selective beta blocker and partial agonist of beta-adrenergic receptors. It works by blocking the effects of certain chemicals on the heart and blood vessels, which can help to reduce heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart. Oxprenolol is used to treat angina (chest pain), high blood pressure, irregular heartbeats, and tremors. It may also be used for other purposes not listed here.
It's important to note that oxprenolol should only be taken under the supervision of a medical professional, as it can have significant interactions with other medications and medical conditions. Additionally, sudden discontinuation of oxprenolol should be avoided, as it can lead to rebound effects such as increased heart rate and blood pressure.
Bethanidine is a non-cardioselective, moderately potent, short-acting antihypertensive drug. It belongs to the class of medications known as ganglionic blockers, which work by blocking the action of certain nerves in the body, leading to a decrease in blood pressure.
Bethanidine is used to treat high blood pressure and has been used in the management of symptoms associated with congestive heart failure. However, its use has declined over the years due to the availability of safer and more effective antihypertensive medications.
Like other ganglionic blockers, bethanidine can cause side effects such as dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, difficulty urinating, dizziness, and weakness. It should be used with caution in patients with certain medical conditions, including kidney or liver disease, narrow-angle glaucoma, and bladder neck obstruction.
It is important to note that bethanidine is not commonly used in clinical practice today due to its potential for serious side effects and the availability of safer alternatives.
Echothiophate iodide is a cholinesterase inhibitor drug. It works by blocking the breakdown of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter in the body that is essential for proper nerve function. By preventing the breakdown of acetylcholine, echothiophate iodide can help to improve muscle strength and reduce muscle weakness in individuals with certain neuromuscular disorders.
Echothiophate iodide is used as a diagnostic aid in ophthalmology to test for the presence and severity of glaucoma, as well as to treat certain types of glaucoma by reducing the pressure inside the eye. It is also used off-label to treat myasthenia gravis, a neuromuscular disorder characterized by muscle weakness and fatigue.
The drug is administered via injection or ophthalmic solution, depending on its intended use. Common side effects of echothiophate iodide include blurred vision, eye pain, headache, and nausea. More serious side effects can include seizures, difficulty breathing, and irregular heartbeat.
It is important to note that echothiophate iodide can interact with other medications and should be used with caution in individuals with certain medical conditions. Therefore, it is essential to consult with a healthcare provider before using this medication.
Cardiovascular complications in pregnancy refer to conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels, which can arise during pregnancy, childbirth, or after delivery. These complications can be pre-existing or new-onset and can range from mild to severe, potentially threatening the life of both the mother and the fetus. Some examples of cardiovascular complications in pregnancy include:
1. Hypertension disorders: This includes chronic hypertension (high blood pressure before pregnancy), gestational hypertension (high blood pressure that develops after 20 weeks of pregnancy), and preeclampsia/eclampsia (a pregnancy-specific disorder characterized by high blood pressure, proteinuria, and potential organ damage).
2. Cardiomyopathy: A condition in which the heart muscle becomes weakened, leading to an enlarged heart and reduced pumping efficiency. Peripartum cardiomyopathy is a specific type that occurs during pregnancy or in the months following delivery.
3. Arrhythmias: Irregularities in the heart's rhythm, such as tachycardia (rapid heartbeat) or bradycardia (slow heartbeat), can occur during pregnancy and may require medical intervention.
4. Valvular heart disease: Pre-existing valve disorders, like mitral stenosis or aortic insufficiency, can worsen during pregnancy due to increased blood volume and cardiac output. Additionally, new valve issues might develop during pregnancy.
5. Venous thromboembolism (VTE): Pregnancy increases the risk of developing blood clots in the veins, particularly deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE).
6. Ischemic heart disease: Although rare, coronary artery disease and acute coronary syndrome can occur during pregnancy, especially in women with risk factors such as obesity, diabetes, or smoking history.
7. Heart failure: Severe cardiac dysfunction leading to fluid accumulation, shortness of breath, and reduced exercise tolerance may develop due to any of the above conditions or other underlying heart diseases.
Early recognition, monitoring, and appropriate management of these cardiovascular complications in pregnancy are crucial for maternal and fetal well-being.
Bendroflumethiazide is a diuretic medication, which means it helps the body get rid of excess salt and water by increasing urine production. It is primarily used to treat high blood pressure and edema (swelling) caused by various medical conditions.
The drug works by inhibiting the reabsorption of sodium and chloride ions in the distal convoluted tubule of the kidney, which leads to increased water excretion. This results in a decrease in blood volume and, consequently, reduced blood pressure.
Bendroflumethiazide is available under various brand names, such as Aprinox, Corrida, and Natrilix. It's important to note that this medication should only be taken under the supervision of a healthcare professional, as it can have side effects and interact with other medications.
Hexobarbital is a medication that belongs to the class of drugs called barbiturates. It is primarily used as a short-acting sedative and hypnotic agent, which means it can help induce sleep and reduce anxiety. Hexobarbital works by depressing the central nervous system, slowing down brain activity and causing relaxation and drowsiness.
It's important to note that hexobarbital is not commonly used in modern medical practice due to the availability of safer and more effective alternatives. Additionally, barbiturates like hexobarbital have a high potential for abuse and dependence, and their use is associated with several risks, including respiratory depression, overdose, and death, particularly when taken in combination with other central nervous system depressants such as alcohol or opioids.
Labetalol is an antihypertensive drug, which is a type of medication used to treat high blood pressure. It is classified as a non-selective beta blocker and selective alpha-1 receptor blocker. This means that it works by blocking the effects of certain hormones on the heart and blood vessels, leading to a decrease in heart rate and relaxation of the blood vessels, thereby reducing blood pressure.
Labetalol is available in oral (tablet) and injectable forms. It may be used alone or in combination with other medications to treat high blood pressure. Common side effects of labetalol include dizziness, lightheadedness, and fatigue. As with any medication, it should be taken under the supervision of a healthcare provider, who will consider the patient's medical history, current medications, and other factors before prescribing it.
Chlorthalidone is a diuretic medication, which is a type of drug that helps the body get rid of excess salt and water by increasing urine production. It is a type of sulfonamide, and it works by blocking the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the distal convoluted tubules of the kidneys, which leads to increased excretion of these ions and water in the urine.
Chlorthalidone is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and edema (fluid retention) associated with various medical conditions, such as heart failure, cirrhosis, and kidney disease. It may be used alone or in combination with other medications to achieve better blood pressure control.
Like all medications, chlorthalidone can cause side effects, including electrolyte imbalances, dehydration, dizziness, headache, muscle cramps, and gastrointestinal disturbances. It is important to take this medication as directed by a healthcare provider and to report any bothersome or persistent symptoms promptly.
Hypertension is a medical term used to describe abnormally high blood pressure in the arteries, often defined as consistently having systolic blood pressure (the top number in a blood pressure reading) over 130 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number) over 80 mmHg. It is also commonly referred to as high blood pressure.
Hypertension can be classified into two types: primary or essential hypertension, which has no identifiable cause and accounts for about 95% of cases, and secondary hypertension, which is caused by underlying medical conditions such as kidney disease, hormonal disorders, or use of certain medications.
If left untreated, hypertension can lead to serious health complications such as heart attack, stroke, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease. Therefore, it is important for individuals with hypertension to manage their condition through lifestyle modifications (such as healthy diet, regular exercise, stress management) and medication if necessary, under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
Pracitolol is not a medical condition, it's a medication. Practolol is a beta blocker drug that is primarily used to treat various cardiovascular conditions such as hypertension (high blood pressure), angina (chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart), and certain types of arrhythmias (irregular heart rhythms).
Beta blockers like practolol work by blocking the effects of certain hormones, such as adrenaline, on the heart and blood vessels. This helps to reduce the heart rate, lower blood pressure, and decrease the force of heart contractions, which can improve overall cardiovascular function and reduce the risk of heart-related complications.
It's important to note that practolol is not commonly used in clinical practice due to its association with a rare but serious side effect known as the "practolol syndrome." This condition can cause various symptoms such as dry eyes, skin rashes, and abnormalities of the thyroid gland. As a result, other beta blockers are generally preferred over practolol for the treatment of cardiovascular conditions.
Hemicholinium 3 is not a medical term, but it is a chemical compound that has been used in research related to the nervous system. It is primarily used as a research tool to study the transmission of nerve impulses.
In scientific terms, Hemicholinium 3 is an inhibitor of choline transport. Choline is a molecule required for the synthesis of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in transmitting signals between nerves and muscles. By blocking the reuptake of choline into the presynaptic nerve terminal, Hemicholinium 3 reduces the amount of acetylcholine available for release, which can affect nerve impulse transmission.
While Hemicholinium 3 has been used in research to help understand the mechanisms of nerve impulse transmission and cholinergic neurotransmission, it is not used clinically in medical practice.
'Cryptococcus gattii' is a species of encapsulated, yeast-like fungi belonging to the family Tremellaceae. It is an environmental pathogen that can cause pulmonary and central nervous system infections in humans and animals. The organism is typically found in soil and on trees in tropical and subtropical regions, but it has also been identified in temperate climates. Infection usually occurs through inhalation of the spores or desiccated yeast cells.
The disease caused by 'Cryptococcus gattii' is called cryptococcosis, which can manifest as a pulmonary infection (pneumonia) or a disseminated infection involving the central nervous system (meningitis). The symptoms of cryptococcosis may include cough, chest pain, fever, night sweats, weight loss, headache, stiff neck, confusion, and altered mental status.
Risk factors for developing cryptococcosis caused by 'Cryptococcus gattii' include underlying lung disease, immunosuppression (such as HIV/AIDS), and exposure to the fungus in endemic areas. Diagnosis typically involves microscopic examination of clinical specimens (e.g., sputum, cerebrospinal fluid) and culture isolation of the organism, followed by confirmation using biochemical or molecular methods. Treatment usually consists of antifungal therapy with agents such as amphotericin B and fluconazole.
Guanethidine is an antihypertensive medication that belongs to the class of drugs known as ganglionic blockers or autonomic nervous system (ANS) inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of certain chemicals (neurotransmitters) in the body, which results in decreased blood pressure and heart rate.
Guanethidine is not commonly used today due to its side effects and the availability of safer and more effective antihypertensive medications. Its medical definition can be stated as:
A synthetic antihypertensive agent that acts by depleting norepinephrine stores in postganglionic adrenergic neurons, thereby blocking their activity. Guanethidine is used primarily in the treatment of hypertension and occasionally in the management of sympathetic nervous system-mediated conditions such as essential tremor or neurogenic pain.
