Our aim was to investigate whether neonatal LPS challenge may improve hormonal, cardiovascular response and mortality, this being a beneficial adaptation when adult rats are submitted to polymicrobial sepsis by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). Fourteen days after birth, pups received an intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 100μg/kg) or saline. After 8-12 weeks, they were submitted to CLP, decapitated 4, 6 or 24h after surgery and blood was collected for vasopressin (AVP), corticosterone ...

The reduction of environmental pollutants has been important for the sustainability (environmental, economic, and social) of the manufacturing companies. The agro-industry annually produces tons of vegetable residues that is discarded in the environment. Textile industries have a high rate of dye discharges in water resources. Fungal enzymes produced in plant residues can degrade recalcitrant organic compounds. Thus, the aim of the study was the production, purification, characterization, and use ...

A 67-year-old man with a large thoracoabdominal aneurysm was treated utilizing the endovascular approach with multiple stent graft implantation. The proximal thoracic and distal abdominal necks of the aneurysm had favorable anatomy for insertion of multiple endovascular stents. The proximal end was located just distal to the left subclavian artery, and stents were placed to the region of the celiac axis. The infrarenal aneurysm was treated with a bifurcated stent graft to the iliac arteries. The ...

Four hemorrhage sessions, withdrawing 10% of the blood volume per session, were performed in 5 min intervals in freely moving rats. Blood pressure (BP) was not affected by the lesions and did not drop in the first, but decreased in all subsequent hemorrhages. The decrease in BP in animals with lesion in the anterior LC was similar to the controls. However, animals with lesions in the ...

Background There is an increasing use of cesarean delivery (CD) based on preference rather than on medical indication. However, the extent to which nonmedically indicated CD benefits or harms child survival remains unclear. Our hypothesis was that in groups with a low indication for CD, this procedure would be associated with higher child mortality and in groups with a clear medical indication CD would be associated with improved child survival chances. Methods and findings We conducted a population- ...

We detected ANP/OT in smaller cells which apparently corresponded to parvocellular neurons and additionally a massive group of ANP immunoreactive fibers from periventricular regions to the median eminence, here closely associated with oxytocinergic fibers originated from PVN. ANP immunoneutralization did not change the basal OT level but blocked the OT secretion ...
