Poor sleep, vitamin D deficiency, and anxiety were the most important factors associated with pTBI-CF. Appropriate treatment of these disorders may help to reduce fatigue in these patients.
Short-circuit current (SCC) techniques were used to monitor effects of various diuretic agents on Na+ transport in toad bladder and Cl- transport in toad cornea. In bladder, various agents from different "classes" of diuretics inhibited SCC whereas in cornea only "loop diuretics," i.e., those with a primary site of action in the ascending limb of the loop of Henle, inhibited SCC. Classification of the diuretics based on sensitivity in cornea and bladder revealed that diuretics with a common renal site of action gravitated into common classification groups. Thus, our studies suggested that cornea may be a suitable model of the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle and that cornea and bladder, studied jointly, may serve as an in vitro system for predicting potential renal sites of action of new diuretics. This system, when used to characterize the new diuretic indanone, revealed that this agent, in all respects, displayed the characteristics of a loop diuretic.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
