A prospective study of quality of life in ALS patients treated with noninvasive ventilation.

abstract：:Prostaglandins B1 and B2 were topically applied to the pial vessels of mice and arteriolar constriction was observed. This constriction could be significantly increased if serotonin was added to B1, but not when norepinephrine was added. Response to B2 was not enhanced by the simultaneous addition of either serotonin ...
