Serotonin (5-HT) is an important neurotransmitter and paracrine signalling molecule in all bilateral animals, where it mediates gut movements and the animal's perceptions of resource availability. 5-HT was found in the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract), blood platelets, and the central nervous system (CNS) [1] [2]. Approximately 90% of 5-HT in the human body is synthesized and released in the GI tract, and the remainder is synthesized in serotonergic neurons of the CNS. 5-HT is synthesized from…
This disruption causing skin darkening, salt cravings, Hypoglycemia, low blood pressure and, weight loss. Adrenal Adenoma or an Adrenal Tumor may result in the overproduction of Cortisol (Cushings), Aldosterone (Aldosteronism) and, Androgens. Cushings Syndrome results in Osteoporosis, Hyperglycemia, skin thinning, slow growth, excess hair, infertility, etc. Aldosteronism results in severe dehydration, potassium loss and, high blood pressure. Excessive Androgen secretions result in Male…
energy and can lead to hypothermia. Hypothermia happens at extremely low temperatures while not wearing protective clothing’s; when the core body temperature is less than <95oF (<35oC). In extreme high temperatures, side effects can be the dilation of blood vessels near the surface of the skin, as well as kidney failure from stressed kidneys. Heat stroke occurs once the body temperatures reach 104°F (40°C). Anything below those temperatures is considered heat exhaustion; a far less severe…

Cholesterol is made from the liver. It is one type of lipid or fat present in the membrane of cells in the body. It is normally carried in the blood by one type of molecules known as lipoproteins. You will realize that high levels of cholesterol causes atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease (CAD).Cholesterol is a white, crystalline and fat-like substance that is often in animal food products and tissues. Cholesterol is used in repairing cell membranes, producing hormones and vitamin D. It…
Extra if needed Diagnosis of PAI initially involves blood assay for elevated ACTH and plasma renin activity (PRA) with decreased serum cortisol and aldosterone, DHEAS [1, 2]. Exclusion of other autoimmune conditions and imaging of the adrenal glands completes diagnostic testing and results [3]. Diagnostic Testing and Results Optimal levels of serum cortisol and plasma ACTH are simultaneously measured early morning between 8-9am, in healthy individuals the serum cortisol levels can range…
Introduction: In the orthopedic field, local anesthesia for lower-extremity surgeries or nerve block methods intending pain control has been growing Objectives: In this study, the appropriateness of nerve blocks in arthroscopic knee surgery was investigated. It has been informed that pain, anxiety and et cetera can increase BP by stimulating sympathetic nervous system.

Heart failure is a complicated syndrome characterised by reduced heart productivity and subsequent haemodynamic and neurohormonal responses (Poole-Wilson 1985). Dilated cardiomyopathy is the most common pattern of congestive cardiac failure in older people (Nicholson, 2014). Congestive cardiac failure can be caused by a number of pathological conditions, some of these conditions can be reversed through medications and natural remedies but others may not be (Nicholson, 2014). Patients can have…
