Chronic oral endothelin-A receptor antagonism activates the renin-angiotensin-system with persisting sodium retention in experimental heart failure
The degree of natriuretic peptide system activation in stable and high risk CHF characterized by increased cystatin C is not reflected in cGMP activation
Cenderitide (CD-NP), a novel peptide designed to activate both guanylyl cyclase B and A, activates the second messenger cGMP, suppresses aldosterone, and preserves GFR without reducing blood pressure in a proof-of-concept study in patients with chronic heart failure
Hemangiopericytomas of the spine: case report and review of the literature
We describe a rare case of a primary intracranial meningeal hemangiopericytoma (HPC) with late metastasis to the cervical spine. A 36-year-old woman had a left occipital lesion that was histopathologically identified as HPC. Fourteen years after resection, the tumor recurred and was treated with radiotherapy. Three years later, CT imaging showed a large mass in the liver consistent with metastatic HPC, and MRI of the cervical spine showed an extensive lesion of the C3 vertebral body. The patient underwent C3 corpectomy with en-bloc tumor removal and follow-up radiation with no local recurrence or other spinal metastasis for the following 4 years. Regardless of the subtype of spinal HPC, complete surgical removal and radiotherapy appear to be treatment of choice
