Cardiovascular Response to Large Doses of Intravenous Morphine in Man

TL;DR: In the cardiac but not in the normal subjects, significant increases in cardiac index, stroke index, central venous pressure, and pulmonary-artery pressure were observed after morphine was administered, suggesting that large doses of morphine may be used with safety in patients with minimal circulatory reserve.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intestinal alkaline phosphatase is a gut mucosal defense factor maintained by enteral nutrition

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the brush–border enzyme, intestinal alkaline phosphatase (IAP), has the ability to detoxify lipopolysaccharide and prevent bacterial invasion across the gut mucosal barrier under conditions of starvation and disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unstable angina pectoris: National cooperative study group to compare surgical and medical therapy: II. In-Hospital experience and initial follow-up results in patients with one, two and three vessel disease

TL;DR: The results indicate that patients with unstable angina pectoris can be managed acutely with intensive medical therapy, including the administration of propranolol and long-acting nitrates in pharmacologic doses, with adequate control of pain in most patients and no increase in early mortality or myocardial infarction rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
