Intranasal lidocaine for the treatment of migraine headache: a randomized, controlled trial.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of intranasal lidocaine for immediate relief (5 minutes) of migraine headache pain. METHODS: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial at two university-affiliated community teaching hospitals…

Oxygen consumption after massive sympathetic nervous system discharge.

We evaluated the possibility that massive, sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activation [as may precede the development of neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE)] increases O2 demand. O2 consumption (VO2) and plasma concentrations of the calorigenic agents,…

Macromolecular transport in canine coronary microvasculature.

Coronary vascular osmotic reflection coefficients (sigma dS) for total protein, albumin (Alb), immunoglobulin (Ig)G, and IgM were determined in the anesthetized dog. Myocardial lymph was collected from the anterior interventricular lymphatic trunk,…

Attenuation of postexertional hypotension by cardiac afferent blockade.

Naloxone eliminates postexertional hypotension (PEH) in human and animal models. The effect of naloxone on sympathetic activity during hemorrhage and generation of arterial baroreflex function curves can be stimulated by blockade of cardiac afferent…

Mesenteric vascular responses to vasopressin during development of DOCA-salt hypertension in male and female rats.

Deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt hypertension develops to a greater extent in male (M) than in female (F) rats. To determine the role of the vasculature, reactivity to arginine vasopressin (AVP) and prostanoid output were examined in the…

Temporal artery temperature measurements in healthy infants, children, and adolescents.

A noninvasive temporal artery thermometer that uses arterial heat balance technology has been compared to rectal and ear thermometry and is available in the marketplace. This study was undertaken to establish mean temperatures and temperatures 2…

Modulatory effects of testosterone on

In this experiment, we examined the modulatory effects of testosterone on the parkinsonism-inducing drug 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) in two strains of mice. Orchidectomized male CD-1 and C57/B1 mice were implanted with either…
