Purpose A clinical examination technique to detect pathology within the anterior eye is known as "sclerotic scatter" (SS). Its propagation pathway has not been thoroughly investigated. Although conventionally theorized to occur by "total internal ref

In an attempt to explore healthcare worker acquisition of tuberculosis infection, we conducted population-based surveillance of all cases recorded as healthcare workers reported to Enhanced Surveillance of Mycobacterial Infection from 2000 to 2015. O

Adrenomedullin (AM) is a peptide that possesses potentially beneficial properties. Since the initial discovery of the peptide by Kitamura et al. in 1993, the literature has been awash with reports describing its novel mechanisms of action and huge po

Adrenomedullin and endothelin are novel peptides that are produced in the blood vessel wall and have contrasting biologic actions. Both may play a pathophysiological role in atherosclerosis and chronic heart failure. It has also been suggested that b

Endothelin-1 (ET-1) and adrenomedullin (ADM) are both produced in the arterial wall, but have opposing biological actions. Evidence from experimental animals suggests a functional interaction between ET-1 and ADM. We have tested this in humans. Small

Background —Both a vascular endothelial cytochrome P450 (CYP450) product of arachidonic acid metabolism and the potassium ion (K + ) have been identified as endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factors (EDHFs) in animal vascular tissues. We studied

Aims Inhibition of neutral endopeptidases (NEP) results in a beneficial increase in plasma concentrations of natriuretic peptides such as ANP. However NEP inhibitors were ineffective anti-hypertensives, probably because NEP also degrades vasoconstric

Northern Ireland has traditionally been well served with cross-sectional studies, including episodic surveys of poverty and social exclusion, and of health and social well-being. However, such studies are of limited use in either analysis of life-cou

Laboratory results of 67 cases of legionnaires' disease caused by Legionella pneumophila serogroup (Sg) 1 spanning a 6-year period were analysed by both phenotypic and genotypic methods. The methods compared were urinary antigen enzyme immunoassay (E

Background — It has been shown recently that the pregnancy and parturition hormone, relaxin, is secreted by the heart. This study examined the effects of relaxin in small human resistance arteries from the systemic and pulmonary circulations. Metho
