1. Endothelin in the pulmonary circulation with special reference to hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction
Abstract : A number of substances originating from the pulmonary endothelium have recently been found to be involved in the regulation of pulmonary vascular tone. Accumulating evidence suggests that endothelial dysfunction contributes to pulmonary hypertension, an important clinical problem often associated with hypoxemia. READ MORE

2. The role of endothelin during myocardial ischaemia and reperfusion : pathophysiological mechanisms and interactions with nitric oxide
Abstract : Acute myocardial infarction followed by reperfusion results in accelerated necrosis of irreversibly injured myocytes as well as induction of lethal injury to reversibly injured cells. Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) are major participants in the reperfusion-initiated inflammation. READ MORE

3. Acute lung failure induced by tricyclic antidepressants : an experimental evaluation
Abstract : The tricyclic antidepressant drugs (TCA) have, over the years, been reported to be able to cause adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)/acute lung injury in connection with overdose, and are currently among the most common cause of self-poisoning. Approximately 10% of all TCA overdose patients develop ARDS, and the treatment of these patients, irrespective of the event causing ARDS, is mainly supportive. READ MORE

4. Regulation of vascular tone in myometrial resistance arteries in normal pregnancy and preeclampsia
Abstract : Background: Normal pregnancy is characterized by the occurrence of substantial vasodilatation. Pressure responsiveness and vascular reactivity to administered vasoconstrictors undergo considerable attenuation. These circulatory changes are essential to maintain adequate oxygen and nutrient delivery to the placenta and thus to the fetus. READ MORE
