Does pretreatment with stellate ganglion blockade before ischemia reduce infarct size in rat hearts?
Pretreatment with the left SGB leads to lower arrhythmia scores and reduced infarct size in the Langendorff-perfused rat hearts compared with group 3, but not with group 2.
NSAIDs are commonly used by athletes competing in endurance events and are a risk factor for hyponatremia and altered renal function. Notwithstanding high rates of NSAID use, the incidence of hyponatremia was low. We attribute this to changes in fluid replacement guidelines and drink station availability that reduce the risk of overdrinking, the principal cause of this condition.
