The highest concentrations, recorded in a group of four patients with shock, showed a range of 54–193 pmol/ml which was significantly elevated compared to the normal range of 9–22 pmol/ml. This increase in plasma cyclic AMP correlated significantly and positively with plasma concentrations of ...
environment (72.0 +/- 1.9 vs. 65.8 +/- 1.7, p < 0.001). At 21 C, metabolism and catecholamines increased, except in four nonsurvivors who became hypothermic with decreased catechol elaboration. Metabolic rate in ten patients with bacteremia was below predicted levels while catecholamines were ...
PvaCO2 can also be helpful in identifying patients with impaired tissue perfusion, espe- cially when ScvO2 is close to the normal range [12, 27]. While PvaCO2 has a strong prognostic value [28], its use as a guide for resuscitation has not been tested in large-scale randomized studies...
In response to standing, plasma norepinephrine from atopic children showed a greater increase than that seen in normal healthy children. From the salivary factors studied, no differences were found in parotid flow-rate, bicarbonates, chlorides, and inorganic phosphates. Protein concentration as well ...
However, substantial variability was observed even with adrenergic activity levels within the normal range: systolic blood pressure (median [interquartile range], 75 [63-83] mm Hg) and heart rate (34 [26-43] beats per minute). Among patients with preoperative levels of adrenergic activity ≤...
A 2- or 3-day period was allowed for reco\,ery in order to ensure that the lambs returned to a normal henlodynamic state and to prevent confounding effects of anesthesia and surgery (9). The experimental animal was weighed, placed in a supportive sling. and blindfolded. Room air ...
Further, the chromogranin levels found in adrenal veins were in the range of normalcy. Conclusion: Firstly, in all patients we found normal levels of chromogranin A in adrenal veins that excluded the presence of pheochromocytoma and confirmed the functional secretion of catecholamines. Hence, by ...
Plasma metanephrine- 114 pg/mL (<57), normetanephrine- 300 pg/mL (<148), and total metanephrine- 414 pg/mL (<205) were elevated. DHEA-S, plasma renin and aldosterone were all within normal range. These results suggested that both pheochromocytoma...
Colony numbers returned to normal values within five days after the end of deltamethrin administration. 4. No changes were observed in the total (range: 1-3 x 10(8) per spleen) and differential marrow and spleen cell counts, nor was there any alteration in spleen weight. However, treatment...
A second estimation of total body potassium in 6 cases, several months after the subarachnoid haemorrhage, showed higher values in 5 cases with one low normal remaining unchanged. No second estimation fell outside the normal range. It was considered likely that the high urinary catecholamine and ...
