Smith, H J, Neutze, J M, Roche, A H, Agnew, T M, Barratt-Boyes, B G

A detailed review was made of 180 patients with severe aortic regurgitation of rheumatic origin. Of these patients, 110 underwent aortic valve replacement. Thirty-nine clinical and haemodynamic...

Effects of beta-adrenoceptor blockade on heart rate and physiological tremor in diabetics with autonomic neuropathy. A comparative study of epanolol, atenolol and pindolol.

Reid, W, Ewing, D J, Harry, J D, Smith, H J, Neilson, J M, Clarke, B F

Eight diabetics with autonomic neuropathy were given single oral doses of epanolol (200 mg), atenolol (50 mg), pindolol (5 mg) and placebo in a double-blind randomised order at weekly intervals....

Intrinsic sympathomimetic activity of cardioselective beta-adrenoceptor blockers and effects on renal function.

Mackay, I G, Macnicol, A M, Smith, H J, Cumming, A D, Watson, M L

The effects of a 21 infusion of isotonic sodium chloride on renal haemodynamics and sodium excretion were measured in nine normotensive volunteers. Changes in these responses to volume expansion...

Activation of ATP-ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis in skeletal muscle in vivo and murine myoblasts in vitro by a proteolysis-inducing factor (PIF)

Lorite, M J, Smith, H J, Arnold, J A, Morris, A, Thompson, M G, Tisdale, M J

Loss of skeletal muscle is a major factor in the poor survival of patients with cancer cachexia. This study examines the mechanism of catabolism of skeletal muscle by a tumour product,...

Development of an in-vitro model system to investigate the mechanism of muscle protein catabolism induced by proteolysis-inducing factor

Smith, H J, Cooper, J C, Tisdale, M J

The mechanism of muscle protein catabolism induced by proteolysis-inducing factor, produced by cachexia-inducing murine and human tumours has been studied in vitro using C2C12 myoblasts and myotubes....
