Does hexamethonium reverse the lethal cardiopulmonary damages in a rat model of brainstem lesions mimicking fatal enterovirus 71 encephalitis?

A significant number of normal patients do not show duodenal filling by 30 minutes, while the majority fill the gallbladder by 30 minutes using functional MR cholangiography (fMRC) with gadoxetate disodium. These findings will guide fMRC protocol design for patients with suspected acute cholecystitis and sphincter of Oddi dysfunction.
