Effect of Cuff Pressure on Blood Flow during Blood Flow–restricted Rest and ExercisePurpose This study investigated the relationship between blood flow restriction (BFR) cuff pressure and blood flow at rest and during exercise, with the aim of determining if lower cuff pressures will provide an ischemic stimulus comparable to higher pressures. Methods The relationship between blood flow and cuff pressure at rest was determined by measuring blood flow (Doppler Ultrasound) through the superficial femoral...

Diagnosis and Management of Adrenal Insufficiency in Hospitalized PatientsBackground: Plasma cortisol is commonly obtained in hospitalized hypotensive patients, and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) challenge is typically conducted to further workup hypocortisolemia. It is important to recognize that relative adrenal insufficiency (AI) is the most common cause of low cortisol levels and failed ACTH challenge in ill patients. Both cortisol and synthetic ACTH challenge assays are unreliable in critically...

Vaccination for the postkidney transplant populationPurpose of review Kidney transplant recipients are at high risk of contracting infections, some of which are considered vaccine-preventable, because of their highly immunosuppressed state. In this vulnerable group of patients, infection can lead to poor outcomes including graft failure and death, thus vaccination in the posttransplant population is an important strategy in order to mitigate this risk. The present review is aimed at providing an...

Milan criteria are widely used for liver transplantation selection in hepatocellular carcinoma but have been recognized to be too restrictive. Milan-out criteria are increasingly being adopted. Our aim was to analyze if liver transplantation waitlisted Milan-out hepatocellular carcinoma patients have different outcome than Milan patients. Methods. Retrospective study including all consecutive patients with...

Urantide Improves Cardiac Function, Modulates Systemic Cytokine Response and Increases Survival in a Murine Model of Endotoxic ShockIntroduction: Urotensin II (UII) is a potent vasoactive peptide activating the G protein-coupled receptor UT, and is involved in systemic inflammation and cardiovascular functions. The aim of our work was to study the impact of the UT antagonist urantide on survival, systemic inflammation and cardiac function during endotoxic shock. Methods: C57Bl/6 mice were intraperitoneally...

Spinal cord stimulation prevents paclitaxel-induced mechanical and cold hypersensitivity and modulates spinal gene expression in ratsIntroduction: Paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy (PIPN) is a common dose-limiting side effect of this cancer treatment drug. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has demonstrated efficacy for attenuating some neuropathic pain conditions. Objective: We aim to examine the inhibitory effect of SCS on the development of PIPN pain and changes of gene expression in the spinal...

Toll-like Receptor 4 Signaling and Downstream Neutrophilic Inflammation Mediate Endotoxemia-Enhanced Blood–Labyrinth Barrier TraffickingHypothesis: Both toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and downstream neutrophil activity are required for endotoxemia-enhanced blood–labyrinth barrier (BLB) trafficking. Background: Aminoglycoside and cisplatin are valuable clinical therapies; however, these drugs often cause life-long hearing loss. Endotoxemia enhances the ototoxicity of aminoglycosides and cisplatin in...

Spectrum of 18F-FDG Uptake in Bilateral Lung Parenchymal Diseases on PET/CTBilateral lung parenchymal involvement is seen in infective as well as noninfective conditions, appearing as focal or diffuse lung disease. PET/CT with FDG helps in characterization (increased glucose utilization is seen by both inflammatory and neoplastic cells). In this article, we describe the spectrum of patterns of FDG uptake and associated CT changes involving bilateral lung parenchyma. Benign conditions described are...
