Fracture risk prediction using FRAX in patients following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
We aimed to study the utility of the FRAX tool in predicting fractures in patient’s receiving a hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Our results indicate that the FRAX tool has modest fracture predi...

A selective somatostatin type-2 receptor agonist inhibits neointimal thickening and enhances endothelial cell growth and morphology following aortic balloon injury in the rabbit
Somatostatin analogs have been shown to inhibit vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation and attenuate neointimal thickening following experimental balloon catheter injury. In this study, the effects o...

Exploration of the DTrp-NMeLys Motif in the Search for Potent Somatostatin Antagonists
Somatostatin (SRIF), a tetradecapeptide discovered by Brazeau et al. [1] has been shown to have potent inhibitory effects on various secretory processes in tissues such as pituitary, pancreas or gastrointestinal ...

Pharmacology of GRF and Somatostatin: Positive and Negative Control of GH Release
The physiological mechanism(s) controlling the release of growth hormone (GH) from the adenohypophysis is unique in having two hormones, growth hormone releasing factor (GRF) (1, 2) and somatostatin (SRIF) (3), t...

Calcaneal and pelvic fractures: Diagnostic evaluation by three-dimensional computed tomography scans
A major application of three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) is in the imaging of the skeleton. 3D CT has a potentially important role in determining the presence, type, and extent of fractures, espe...

Somatostatin Agonists and Antagonists - Peptide Control of Growth Hormone Secretion
Although somatostatin itself has numerous inhibitory activities which individually are of no little therapeutic interest, there are also several types of physiological effects where it might be of even greater...

The effects of salt depletion on blood and tissue ion concentrations in the freshwater mussel,Ligumia subrostrata (Say)
The extracellular and intracellular fluid volumes of pondwater acclimatedLigumia subrostrata are equal (3.9 ml/g dry tissue). Total blood solute is 47 mOsm and is composed primarily of Na (19.1 mM), Cl (10.6 mM),...
