A control group of 68 children (43 boys and 25 girls) without a history of dentofacial injury w as matched by age and sex. The Student t-test was used to identify any differences in urinary catecholamine levels between the two groups. The 95% probability was used. The results showed ...
The Student t-test was used to identify any differences in urinary catecholamine levels between the two groups. The 95% probability was used. The results showed statistically significant differences in the mean values of epinephrine, while the differences in norepinephrine and dopamine were not ...
This is a rare case of a symptomatic pheochromocytoma without elevated urine catecholamines and metanephrines. According to the literature, plasma free metanephrines would be the ideal test for biochemical detection of the tumor. However, in the event that they are not available and there is a ...
Exclusion criteria included self-reported past or present major medical or psychiatric illness, positive urine drug screens, a score of 10 or greater on the BDI, regular tobacco use, ingestion of more than three cups of coffee (or the equivalent) per day, or atypical sleeping patterns (...
While in previous studies using AMPT doses 44 g, subjects experienced adverse reactions such as dystonic reactions (McCann et al, 1990), rest- lessness (Laruelle et al, 1997), crystals in urine, and decrease in blood pressure (Brogden et al, 1981), none of our participants reported any ...
The results showed significant differences between control and case group A in the epinephrine and norepinephrine levels of the second urine sample. Significant differences were also found between control and ease group B at the first urine sample in epinephrine and dopamine and at the second in ...
OBJECTIVE: In this study, we validated a test for platelet catecholamine and compared the catecholamine levels (adrenaline and noradrenaline) in urine, plasma and platelets in patients with OSA and HYP compared with controls....
Main Results Twenty cases had high lactate levels (>聽2 mmol/L). Preoperative urine epinephrine levels and urine metanephrine levels showed a moderate correlation with intraoperative peak plasma lactate levels (rs = 0.475 and rs = 0.499, respectively; Spearman's rank correlation test). Receiver ...
Effects of each timing (T1-T5) of urine gathering and the body size on catecholamine concentrations were analyzed by ANOVA and the Tukey test. The proportion of time spent PR was significantly longer when RT was more than 120 sec. compared to shorter than 30 sec. (P<0.05). RT effects ...
Objective: To define the test characteristics of an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for plasma-free metanephrines (metanephrine and normetanephrine) in the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma. Design: Prospective observational design from a single University Hospital. Twenty-four hour urine for ...
