Neurogenic switching: a hypothesis for a mechanism for shifting the site of inflammation in allergy and chemical sensitivity.
(East Carolina University, 1995-01)Neurogenic switching is proposed as a hypothesis for a mechanism by which a stimulus at one site can lead to inflammation at a distant site. Neurogenic inflammation occurs when substance P and other neuropeptides released ... -
Neuroleptanalgesia for acute abdominal pain: a systematic review
(2019-02-26)Background: Acute abdominal pain (AAP) comprises up to 10% of all emergency department (ED) visits. Current pain management practice is moving toward multi-modal analgesia regimens that decrease opioid use. Objective: ... -
Neurological Effects Of A Single Low Level Blast Overpressure Exposure : Behavior And Micro RNA Mechanisms Of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury In A Rodent Model
(East Carolina University, 2015)The increased use of explosive devices within warfare and acts of terrorism has allowed blast overpressure exposure (BOE) to become a significant concern. The most common wound sustained by BOE is blast-induced mild traumatic ... -
Neuromotor Control Differences in the Upper Extremity Between Those With and Without Rheumatoid Arthritis
(East Carolina University, 2021-05-28)Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) causes inflamed synovial membranes that can affect functional ADL’s, motor performance, and neuromotor control. The constraints of RA limit the range of motion and functionality of the upper ... -
Neuromuscular Blockade Monitoring: Assessing Nurse Anesthetists’ Perceptions of the Usefulness of and Preference for Qualitative versus Quantitative Measurements: A Quality Improvement Project
(2022-11-23)Anesthesia providers are responsible for administering neuromuscular blocking agents, monitoring the level of blockade, and ensuring adequate reversal of these medications prior to extubation of surgical patients. Despite ... -
Neuron-derived transthyretin modulates astrocytic glycolysis in hormone-independent manner
(2017-11-20)It has been shown that neurons alter the expression of astrocytic metabolic enzymes by secretion of until now unknown molecule(s) into extracellular fluid. Here, we present evidence that neuron-derived transthyretin (TTR) ... -

(2000-06-13)Neuropeptide Y analogues, and their compositions are effective for lower blood pressure. -
Neurophysiological and Personality Correlates of Sleep and Quality of Life
(East Carolina University, 2018-02-09)Background: Sleep is an important health factor across the lifespan. Poor sleep has been linked to significant negative health outcomes, including an increased risk for chronic diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, ... -
NEUROPILIN-1 IS UPREGULATED BY HTLV-1 bZIP FACTOR AND INHIBITS CELL-TO-CELL TRANSMISSION OF HTLV-1
(East Carolina University, 2023-07-21)Human T-cell Leukemia Virus Type 1 (HTLV-1) is the etiologic agent of devastating diseases, including adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) and HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). HTLV-1 ... -
Neurotransmitter Metabolism by Monoamine Oxidase in Porcine Heart Differs by Location and is Increased with Obesity/Metabolic Syndrome
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-05)Monoamine Oxidase (MAO), an outer mitochondrial enzyme, catalyzes the oxidative deamination of catecholamines and other biological amines, and in the process, produces a reactive aldehyde and H2O2. Our lab has recently ... -
