Hypertension

L-arginase induces vascular dysfunction in old spontaneously hypertensive rats.

BACKGROUND: Aging is a major non-modifiable risk factor for hypertension. Changes in aging are similar to those seen in hypertension in the vasculature. Also, aging increases the vascular dysfunction that occurs in hypertension. L-arginase action reduces substrate (L-arginine) availability for the formation of nitric oxide (NO). This reduces the level of NO and leads to reduced vasodilation and ul...

Successful Resuscitation of a Young Girl Who Drank Rivastigmine With Respiratory Failure.

Rivastigmine is a non-competitive reversible inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase which is approved as one of the fi rst-line treatment options for Alzheimer's disease. We present the case of a 33-year-old woman with acute cholinergic syndrome secondary to deliberate rivastigmine poisoning. The patient presented at the emergency department (ED) with drowsy consciousness, dizziness, vomiting, diarrhea...
