Despite the development of numerous drug therapies designed to treat hypertension, it remains a considerable and poorly managed health, social and economic burden. For various reasons, including the significant health care costs of treatment, there are estimates that up to 65% of hypertensive patients have untreated and/or uncontrolled blood pressure (BP).. Aside from its impact on renal function, chronic hypertension significantly increases the risk for stroke, coronary artery disease, heart failure, and vascular disease. It is believed to be involved in the progression of cardiac arrhythmias. This link between hypertension and cardiovascular health has been well described; as has their combined effect on the aging and obesity-battling Western world.. The recently published results of the Symplicity HTN-2 trial (Renal sympathetic denervation in patients with treatment resistant hypertension) establishing the therapeutic benefit of catheter-based renal sympathetic denervation for hypertension, ...

Background: Left cardiac sympathetic denervation (LCSD) suppresses ventricular arrhythmias (VAs), and reduces the incidence of sudden cardiac death (SCD). The role of bilateral cardiac sympathetic denervation (BCSD) remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to report the effects of BCSD in a small patient cohort.. Methods: We reviewed records of 6 patients (5 males, age 47-75 years, 66.7% non-ischemic cardiomyopathy) who underwent BCSD to treat severe VAs refractory to all other treatment modalities. Reversible causes of VAs were addressed in all patients. All patients were on beta-blocker therapy, and at least one antiarrhythmic drug. Five patients underwent catheter mapping with endocardial and/or epicardial ablation to control VAs (mean 2.2±0.5 ablations/patient). VAs persisted in 3 patients despite prior LCSD. Surgical BCSD was successfully performed in all patients (50% simultaneously, 50% right cardiac sympathetic denervation after prior unsuccessful LCSD).. Results: After BCSD, mean ...

Increased renal resistive index and urinary albumin excretion are markers of hypertensive end-organ damage and renal vasoconstriction involving increased sympathetic activity. Catheter-based sympathetic renal denervation (RD) offers a new approach to reduce renal sympathetic activity and blood pressure in resistant hypertension. The influence of RD on renal hemodynamics, renal function, and urinary albumin excretion has not been studied. One hundred consecutive patients with resistant hypertension were included in the study; 88 underwent interventional RD and 12 served as controls. Systolic, diastolic, and pulse pressure, as well renal resistive index in interlobar arteries, renal function, and urinary albumin excretion, were measured before and at 3 and 6 months of follow-up. RD reduced systolic, diastolic, and pulse pressure at 3 and 6 months by 22.7/26.6 mm Hg, 7.7/9.7 mm Hg, and 15.1/17.5 mm Hg (P for all ,0.001), respectively, without significant changes in the control group. SBP reduction ...

Terumo Europe NV announced today that the Iberis™ system was featured at the AIM Radial course held Sep 26-27, 2013 in New York.

INDICATIONS rest pain, ischemic ulcers, hyperhydrosis, raynauds phenomenon, causalgia, buergers disease Lumbar sympathectomy It is advised for occlusive arterial disease in which L2 and L3 ganglia along with intervening sympathetic trunk are removed leaving behind the L1 ganglion which is responsible for ejaculation ...

Results Sympathectomy during AIA induction or neonatal sympathectomy significantly reduced the severity of acute AIA. Neither sympathectomy in the immunisation phase nor in the chronic phase influenced AIA. Flare-up reactions were reduced by sympathectomy just before flare-up or during the initial acute AIA stage. Sympathectomised AIA mice showed less hyperalgesia. Sympathectomy significantly reduced interleukin (IL) 2, IL-17 and transforming growth factor β in supernatants from lymph nodes and/or spleen cells and antigen-specific Th1-associated IgG2a in serum; IgG1 titres were unaffected. The ß blocker, propranolol, and the norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor bupropion produced similar anti-inflammatory effects, whereas the ß-adrenergic agonist isoproterenol increased AIA severity in neonatally sympathectomised mice.. ...

Renal denervation has emerged as a novel approach for the treatment of patients with drug-resistant hypertension. To date, only limited data have been published using multielectrode radiofrequency ablation systems. In this article, we present the 12-month data of EnligHTN I, a first-in-human study using a multielectrode ablation catheter. EnligHTN I enrolled 46 patients (average age, 60±10 years; on average 4.7±1.0 medications) with drug-resistant hypertension. Eligible patients were on ≥3 antihypertensive medications and had a systolic blood pressure (BP) ≥160 mm Hg (≥150 mm Hg for diabetics). Bilateral renal artery ablation was performed using a percutaneous femoral approach and standardized techniques. The average baseline office BP was 176/96 mm Hg, average 24-hour ambulatory BP was 150/83 mm Hg, and average home BP was 158/90 mm Hg. The average reductions (mm Hg) at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months were as follows: office: −28/−10, −27/−10, −26/−10, and −27/−11 mm Hg (P,0.001 ...

Introduction. Hypertension is one of the most common chronic clinical problems encountered by physicians. Resistant hypertension is defined as systolic blood pressure (BP) ≥160 mmHg or (≥150 mmHg in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus) refractory to medical treatment despite the use of optimal doses of three or more different drug types including a diuretic.1 The prevalence of resistant hypertension is estimated at 9% in the US.2 In a study of 205750 treated hypertensive patients, 1 in 50 developed resistant hypertension within a median of 1.5 years from the initial treatment.3 In the same study, patients with resistant hypertension were shown to be at higher risk for adverse cardiovascular events.3 The increased morbidity and mortality associated with this condition supports greater efforts to improve treatment options.. Historical perspective. After a link was established between the sympathetic nervous system and the development of resistant hypertension, surgical sympathectomy was ...

Since 2012, several cases of renal stenosis after renal denervation have been reported, demonstrating a wide spectrum of clinical presentation, but presenting recurrent hypertension as most relevant finding (1).. In the previous trials HTN-1 (Symplicity Renal Denervation in Patient With Refractory Hypertension) (2) and EnligHTN-I (Safety and Efficacy of Study of Renal Artery Ablation in Resistant Hypertension Patients) (3), renal artery stenosis had been attributed mainly to pre-existing artery stenosis worsening and not to a de novo procedure-related adverse event. The increasing reports of the last call into question the safety of this procedure and point to this complication as a possible cause of therapy ineffectiveness. ...

Authors report 163 cases of lumbar sympathectomy they did under local anesthesia from 1968 to 1975. All were older--and poor risk patients. Approach was always lumbar with resection of distal part of the 12th rib. If good care is taken to do anesthesia infiltration of the five lower intercostal nerves and of the 1st and 2nd posterior lumbar nerves, anesthesia is quite good, and surgery easy and painless. The main advantages are:--easy excision of the first lumbar sympathetic node through this lumbar approach;--low lethality as far as authors consider almost no contra-indications;--very fast recovery of bowel movements;--immediate oral feeding which is important for diabetic patients;--no tracheal, bronchial or lung postoperative infestation or trouble. Patients have never had any trouble (convulsions) from lignocaine since gardenal is given in pre-anesthesia.

b,Background,/b, Norepinephrine (NE)-derived free radicals may contribute to myocyte injury after ischemia -reperfusion, so the influence of sympathetic denervation on myocardial ischemia - reperfusion injury was investigated in the present study. ,b,Methods and Results,/b, Cardiac sympathetic denervation was produced in Wistar rats by a solution of 10% phenol 1 week before ischemia. Atenolol (0.5 mg/kg) was intravenously administered 10 min before the coronary occlusion. The left coronary artery was occluded for 30 min and thereafter reperfused. Cardiac interstitial fluid was collected by a microdialysis probe and free radicals in dialysate were determined by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spin trapping, using 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide as a spin trap. The ratio of infarct size to the ischemic area at risk (I/R) was decreased in both the phenol and atenolol groups compared with control (28.5±11.3, 31.8±10.7 vs 50.6±14.7%, p,0.05). During the coronary occlusion, concentrations of ...

CD11c is expressed on various cells including dendritic cells (DCs), as well as CS cells that are induced by corneal nerve ablation.13 One of the remarkable features of DCs is their potency in stimulating T-cell responses. As few as 10 allogeneic dendritic Langerhans cells can induce allospecific cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) responses and elicit accelerated rejection of allogeneic skin grafts.17 With this in mind, we sought to determine the minimum number of CD11c+ CS cells that would block the action of CD8+ ACAID Tregs. Two approaches were used. This first strategy sought to determine the minimum number of CD11c+ CS cells that, when adoptively transferred to naïve recipients, would prevent the induction of ACAID. The right eyes of naïve BALB/c mice were trephined, and CD11c+ cells were isolated from the spleens 14 days later using a Miltenyl Biotec pan dendritic cell isolation kit.13 Either 1 × 102 or 1 × 103 CD11c+ cells were injected IV into naïve BALB/c mice. One day later, mice were ...

Renal sympathetic denervation (RSDN), or renal denervation (RDN), is a minimally invasive, endovascular catheter based procedure using radiofrequency ablation or ultrasound ablation aimed at treating resistant hypertension (high blood pressure not controlled by medication).

The 4 CME lectures selected for this NDT-E issue all were presented at the very recent Amsterdam ERA-EDTA congress. The first 2 deal with the hot topic of renal denervation in resistant hypertension.

Operations on the sympathetic nervous system designed to relieve hypertension have aroused considerable interest for a number of years. Results from the majority of the earlier procedures were so variable that many surgeons and physicians became skeptical as to the possibilities inherent in this form of therapy. It is only in the past seven years that the more radical lumbodorsal sympathectomy developed by Dr. Reginald Smithwick has shown sufficiently good results to revive enthusiasm over the surgical treatment of hypertension.. The technic for the perfected operative procedure was published in 1940.1 The purpose of the operation is to interrupt the ...

Results Systolic blood pressure after catheter-based renal denervation decreased by 35.52 ± 17.65, 36.63 ± 18.54 mmHgat 6 months and 1 year, respectively (P , 0.001). Diastolic blood pressure decreased by 15.19 ± 15.44, 16.13 ± 15.51 mmHg, at 6 months, and 1 year, respectively (P , 0.001). Meanwhile, there is a clear positive correlation between NE and the BP reduction (r2 = 0.82, P , 0.001), and a similar correlation between rennin (r2 = 0.72, P , 0.001), AngII (r2 = 0.75, P , 0.001), ALD (r2 = 0.71, P , 0.001), ET-1 (r2 = 0.72, P , 0.001) and the BP reduction was observed in our study. In addition, there is a significantly decline in NE, renin, AngII, ALD and ET-1 (all P , 0.01).. ...

Recent technologic advances rekindled interventional management of resistant hypertension, either by carotid. baroreceptor activation or renal sympathetic denervation. Interventional techniques result in impressive falls in office blood pressure (BP); however, ambulatory BP reductions are rather modest. This disparity between office and ambulatory BP reductions is observed with antihypertensive drugs, but at a much lower degree. Available explanations are not convincing, therefore, we propose that sympathetic overactivity may partially explain this divergence. Further studies are needed to prove or disprove our hypothesis.. ...

Purpose: Both conjunctivas are regarded as immunologically independent from each other, but there is anecdotal evidence that one ocular surface might condition its fellow. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the effect that a corneal lesion on one eye exerts over the conjunctival immune response of the opposite eye and the potential mechanisms involved.. Methods: An unilateral controlled chemical burn with NaOH was induced in the cornea of 8-week-old female Balb/c mice (day 1, 3 animals/group, n=4), which were then instilled ovalbumin (OVA) daily (days 2-5) either in the same or the fellow eye. Mice were then immunized with OVA in adjuvant (day 8) and their T cell responses were measured by delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) assays in the footpads (day 15). Some mice underwent unilateral superior cervical sympathectomy one week before corneal burn. To assess lymphatic drainage pathways, fluorescent OVA was injected in the subconjunctival space of one eye and 2 hours later each cervical ...

I have a friend with fibro and she just went to my pain doctor. Most of her pain is being caused by disc problems. I would go to a doctor that treats adult scoliosis patients. At 44 you were borderline for suregery. With you pain increasing, your curve may have increases also. My daughter had a lot of pain when her curve was increasing. I know when my back pain is bad, I have more panic attacks ans anxiety. I have had to have nerve ablations done to control my pain. I have disc problems in the T4 - T12 area (just above my fusion) and when the pain is bad, I cant take a deep breath. It also feel like Im having a heart attack from the pain (minus the arm pain). The ablations give me relief for about 1 year ...

The principal findings were as follows: 1) C-fiber function, as assessed by the LDIflare technique, is severely impaired in CN and indistinguishable from DPN alone; 2) MMH is relatively preserved in CN and significantly higher than in neuropathy alone; and 3) affected and unaffected limbs of patients with CN have similar C-fiber dysfunction and MMH.. The reduced MMH in the DPN group is not unexpected, having been described in a variety of diabetic states including impaired glucose tolerance (6-8). What is surprising is the relative preservation of MMH in the DCN groups, as this would be expected to be worse or similar to, but not significantly better than, the relatively less complicated DPN group. The latter findings are supported by other studies (13,14).. As first suggested by Charcot (9,10), bone resorption as a result of increased bone perfusion secondary to the sympathetic denervation may be implicated in the development of CN (11). Preservation of the MMH in CN is consistent with ...

Following an increasing number of individuals receiving the procedure, a large number of them had reported to be suffering from post-operation side effects. Due to the diminutive percentage of devastating side effects, medical literatures had paid little attention towards this issue. For better understanding of side effects after ETS, we evaluate the websites built by sufferers who underwent this procedure. Methods: We knew the URL of the support group of compensatory sweating (CS) sufferers in Taiwan from the report of a local newspaper in August 2004. And upon browsing their website, we got the link to the Swedish Sympathetic Association, and through which we came across the ETS and ...

The aim of our study was to evaluate the use of thoracoscopic sympathectomy in treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis in pediatric patients as regards methods, indications, contraindications, complications and follow up of patients undergoing thoracoscopic procedures. Twenty patients with palmar hyperhidrosis Grade 3 and 4 HDSS amenable for thoracoscopic sympathectomy were primarily managed. The study compromise 12 males and 8 females; the mean age at intervention was 10 (range 6 to14) years. All were evaluated preoperatively with detailed history, full physical examination and the required investigations to confirm the diagnosis and to assess the fitness for surgery. Consent was then taken after discussing everything with the parents. All cases were intubated with double lung ventilation; no single-lung ventilation was used due to anesthetic difficulties. In all cases the procedure was completed thoracoscopically, and none of our patients required conversion to open surgery. Patients were evaluated ...

Neonatal sympathectomy using a combined treatment with antiserum to nerve growth factor and guanethidine during the first 4 weeks after birth was carried out in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats. Bilateral adrenal demedullation was performed in 4-week-old sympathectomized SHR and WKY rats. The development of hypertension in SHR was prevented by sympathectomy, but the blood pressure (BP) was still higher than in age-matched WKY rats. Demedullation reduced the BP of sympathectomized SHR to the same level as that of WKY rats. Heart rates of SHR and WKY rats were not affected by the treatments. Morphometric measurements of the mesenteric arteries showed that sympathectomy significantly reduced the medial mass in the mesenteric arteries of SHR, mainly through a reduction in the number of smooth muscle cell layers. In sympathectomized SHR, demedullation increased the lumen size of muscular arteries under maximally relaxed conditions, which might explain the ...

Sweat gland removal or destruction is one surgical option available for axillary hyperhidrosis (excessive underarm perspiration). There are multiple methods for sweat gland removal or destruction, such as sweat gland suction, retrodermal currettage, and axillary liposuction, Vaser, or Laser Sweat Ablation. Sweat gland suction is a technique adapted for liposuction.[26]. The other main surgical option is endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS), which cuts, burns, or clamps the thoracic ganglion on the main sympathetic chain that runs alongside the spine. Clamping is intended to permit the reversal of the procedure. ETS is generally considered a safe, reproducible, and effective procedure and most patients are satisfied with the results of the surgery.[27] Satisfaction rates above 80% have been reported, and are higher for children.[28][29] The procedure brings relief from excessive hand sweating in about 85-95% of patients.[30] ETS may be helpful in treating axillary hyperhidrosis, facial ...

Facial hyperhidrosis is the excessive sweating of the face. It can be vexing for some people, and is rarely found in isolated form: it is usually associated with hyperhidrosis in other parts of the body, such as the palms of the hands, the axialle, or the feet soles. Other times it produces a sudden blush with minimal stimulation (eg. a slightly risqué comment). This phenomenon can occur in all people, but is much more obvious and embarrassing in light-skinned people. While it may be a normal phenomenon for some people, for others it can provoke uncomfortable social situations which they cannot control.. In any case, facial hyperhidrosis and facial blushing can be treated surgically with an endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy. In a single procedure it is possible to eliminate the excessive sweating of the face, palms and underarms simultaneously.. ...

Hyperhidrosis can actually hamper the day to day activities of a person. It could be brought out by stress, emotional upheaval, or exercise but in some cases it is automatic. So, patients with palmar hyperhidrosis find their hands wet and moist that actually creates problems in grasping anything. What is more, they find difficulty in shaking hands because that leaves the other persons hand moist. Similarly, people suffering from auxiliary hyperhidrosis sweat excessively from their underarms that stains continually. Hyperhidrosis often causes distress and embarrassment and has been proven as a socil disadvantage in employment and relationships. There is also a case of plantar hyperhidrosis which is the case of excessive sweating of the feet and results in moist socks and shoes and also feet odor ...

We have attempted to evaluate the role of adrenergic nerves which arise from the superior cervical ganglia or which are intracerebral throughout their course, in the control of local cerebral blood flow (CBF). Hypothalamic blood flow (HBF) was measured in the conscious rabbit by the 133Xe-clearance technique. Stimulation of the upper brainstem, using 5-Hz, 3-V, 1-msec, square wave pulses, increased by HBF by a mean of 7.6 ml/100 g per min (P less than 0.005). This effect was abolished by the intrahypothalamic injection of the beta-adrenoreceptor blocker, propranolol, and by chemical sympathectomy of the hypothalamus or of the upper brainstem with 6-hydroxydopamine, but was not altered by bilateral cervical ganglionectomy. Intrahypothalamic injection of 0.1 mug of tyramine caused a mean decrease in HBF of 15.6 ml/100 g per min (P less than 0.001). This effect of intrahypothalamic injection of tyramine was abolished by bilateral cervical sympathectomy but not by chemical sympathectomy of the upper ...

Despite large reductions in blood pressure seen in early studies of renal denervation, the SYMPLICITY HTN-3 randomized trial failed to show a reduction in systolic blood pressure with renal denervation when compared to medical therapy alone. As a result, interest in renal denervation as a treatment for resistant hypertension has waned. In the DENERHTN trial, Azizi and colleagues assessed the incremental benefit of adding renal denervation to standardized stepped-care antihypertensive treatment (SSAHT) for patients with resistant hypertension in an open-label, randomized-controlled trial with blinded endpoint evaluation. After four weeks of a standardized anti-hypertensive regimen to confirm resistant hypertension, patients were randomized to renal denervation in addition to SSAHT versus SSAHT alone. The primary endpoint was the mean change in daytime systolic blood pressure after six months as assessed by ambulatory monitoring. Of the 106 patients randomized (53 in each group), 101 had endpoints ...

Hyperhidrosis, more generally referred to as too much sweating or hyperhidrosis, is a clinical condition identified by extreme sweating in the armpits, face, hands or feet. Extreme sweating can affect only one specific part of the body or the whole body. Though not harmful, it may be embarrassing as well as cause psychological trauma to victims. There are numerous treatments for excessive sweating consisting of antiperspirants, iontophoresis and surgery.. The medical term for too much sweating is hyperhidrosis. The technological term for this problem is anhidrosis. The condition is not well comprehended, but there seems 2 types: primary hyperhidrosis as well as second hyperhidrosis. Primary hyperhidrosis is thought about to be inherited, while secondary hyperhidrosis is thought about to happen additional to various other variables. remedies for sweaty feet. Key hyperhidrosis may result from genetic elements. Individuals with a family history of extreme sweating have a greater risk of ...

Sweating is embarrassing, it stains clothes, and it complicates business and social interactions. Excessive sweating is a common disorder which produces a lot of unhappiness. An estimated 2%-3% of Asian suffer from excessive sweating of the underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis) or of the palms and soles of the feet (palmoplantar hyperhidrosis). Although neurologic, metabolic, and other systemic diseases can sometimes cause excessive sweating, most cases occur in people who are otherwise healthy. Heat and emotions may trigger hyperhidrosis in some, but many who suffer from hyperhidrosis sweat nearly all the time.. Suggestion of treatment: ...

Hyperhidrosis is a condition with an excessive and profuse perspiration (sweat). In axillary hyperhidrosis, the slightest emotional or mental activity leads to wet armpits, showing up as stains on clothes, which can be socially embarrassing. Furthermore, skin maceration and subsequent microbial infection lead to discomfort, and body odors can impede social contacts. Palmar hyperhidrosis leads to a slippery grip and to a cold, wet handshake. Certain occupations are impossible because of staining of paper or other materials handled ...

We have also consulted with the FDA and reimbursement bodies, and partnered with renowned ...

Recognition of drug-resistant hypertension has renewed enthusiasm for approaches based on devices and procedures. One promising therapy in-volves implanting a pulse generator (carotid baroreceptor activation), and another relies on applying radiofrequen-cy energy (renal sympathetic denervation). Reduction in blood pressure from carotid baroreceptor activation is a fundamental physiological response that was used to reset baroreflexes and control hypertension mainly in the late 1950s and 1960s. The introduction of antihypertensive drugs stopped further development of this approach until recently. A new device uses an implantable pulse generator, carotid sinus leads, and a programmer system that communicates with the implan-table pulse generator and allows for noninvasive programming and adjustments in the stimulation parameters.[17] Recent clinical trial results are encouraging. Patients with resistant hypertension on a median of five antihypertensive drugs experienced a 21/12 mm Hg reduction in ...

BOTOX® has proven to be an effective hyperhidrosis treatment and when injected into the underarm area, BOTOX® helps to control hyperhidrosis.. How does it work? A small volume of BOTOX® solution is injected through a very fine gauge needle into the underarm area. BOTOX® works by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. When these glands no longer receive the chemical signals, the excessive underarm sweating stops. The procedure takes about 5-10 minutes, is relatively painless, and the effects of the treatment have been reported to last 6-9 months (Results vary from person to person and eventually will wear off). Depending on the severity of the hyperhidrosis, multiple injections may be needed.. Within 1-2 weeks of the initial treatment there will be significant reduction in underarm sweating. There is a possibility that some sweat glands may be missed during BOTOX® hyperhidrosis treatment. If this occurs, underarm sweating may continue from ...

Purpose To identify the tools that have been used to measure quality of life in hyperhidrosis research and obtain patient insight on commonly used tools. Methods Twelve databases were searched to identify studies that reported measuring quality of life or described a quality of life tool in the context of hyperhidrosis. Data on the use of the tools were tabulated and hyperhidrosis-specific and dermatology-specific measures were summarised. A workshop was held to obtain the patients perspective on the most commonly used tools and the newly developed HidroQoL© tool. Results 182 studies were included in the review. Twenty-two quality of life tools were identified; two or more tools were often used in combination. The most commonly used tools were the Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale, the Dermatology Quality of Life Index and the Hyperhidrosis Quality-of-Life Questionnaire. Patient advisors preferred the new HidroQoL© tool, which was considered to be easy to complete and most relevant to ...

Title:The Future of Interventional Management of Hypertension: Threats and Opportunities. VOLUME: 12 ISSUE: 1. Author(s):Alexandros Briasoulis and George Bakris. Affiliation:5841 S. Maryland Ave MC 1027, Chicago, IL 60637, USA.. Keywords:Resistant hypertension, baroreflex activation therapy, renal sympathetic denervation.. Abstract:In about 48% hypertensive patients in the United States, blood pressure remains higher than accepted treatment targets despite broad availability of effective pharmaceutical agents. Of these 48%, recent estimates define about 10-11% have treatment-resistant hypertension (TR-HTN). Compensatory changes in sympathetic nervous system function are an important component of HTN. Recent technical advances targeting the sympathetic activity of the carotid sinuses (Baroreflex Activation Therapy-BAT) and the renal sympathetic nerves (Renal Denervation Therapy-RDT) have renewed interest in invasive therapy for the treatment of drug-resistant hypertension. Encouraging results ...

Renal denervation with ultrasound after performed after prior denervation with radiofrequency seems to be safe. After an initial decrease of blood pressure after one month, we observed an increase in blood pressure in this small number of patients, a finding which has not been seen in other denervation studies, said Sievert.. RETREAT is a physician-initiated prospective, multicentre study with no industry funding in which 30 patients will be enrolled. Its purpose is to evaluate the effect of renal denervation using ultrasound energy (with Recors Paradise system) after failed denervation with radiofrequency (with Medtronics Symplicity system).. Sievert said: Enrolment in the RETREAT study coincided with the publication of the SYMPLICITY HTN-3 study results following which the reimbursement for renal denervation was stopped in Germany. There was a decline in referrals for renal denervation and new treatment modalities for hypertension began to be explored. This resulted in enrolment becoming ...

In March 2015, Kaken acquired the exclusive rights to the development, manufacture, and marketing in Japan and certain other Asian countries from Brickell Biotech, Inc., based in Colorado, USA (Brickell), for sofpironium bromide, and has developed as a topical drug product in Japan. ECCLOCK® Gel 5% is approved based on the results of the Phase 3 study in Japan. The multicenter, randomized, double-blind, vehicle controlled confirmatory study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ECCLOCK® Gel 5% vs. vehicle administered for 6 weeks in 141 and 140 subjects with primary axillary hyperhidrosis. The results showed that the primary endpoint-the percentage of subjects with an HDSS of 1 or 2 and ≥50% reduction in the gravimetric sweat production from baseline to end of treatment (week 6) for both axilla-showed significant improvement in ECCLOCK® Gel 5% group compared to the vehicle group. The main adverse events related to study drug were dermatitis, erythema, or pruritus at the ...

In this study we evaluated the mechanisms underlying s.c. and spinal intrathecal (i.t.) nicotine inhibition of bradykinin-induced plasma extravasation in the knee joint of the rat (J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 262: 889-895, 1992; ibid., 264: 839-844, 1993). The dose-response curve for the inhibitory action of s.c. nicotine on bradykinin-induced plasma extravasation was attenuated by adrenal medullectomy and by intra-articular perfusion of ICI-118,551 (a beta-2 adrenoceptor antagonist). In addition, the dose-response curve of s.c. nicotine was attenuated by acute surgical lumbar sympathectomy and by intra-articular phentolamine (an alpha adrenoceptor antagonist). The dose-response curve for i.t. nicotine (up to 1 mg/kg) was not attenuated by intra-articular ICI-118,551 and was potentiated by adrenal medullectomy. The action of i.t. nicotine was also not affected by intra-articular phentolamine or by acute surgical lumbar sympathectomy. These results suggest that the inhibition of bradykinin-induced ...
