  1. Bedside Biophysical-Semeiotic Detecting Acute Adrenal Crisis.

    Sirs,

    physicians knowing Biophysical Semeiotics are able to recognize in a few minutes adrenal crisis (See www.semeioticabiofisica.it) (1, 2) In fact, under such as condition, ACTH-RH functional activity is increased: digital pressure of small intensity, applied on ACTH-RH cutaneous projection areas (See above -cited website, Oncological Terrain)brings about intense fluctuations of upper ureteral reflex (= small arteries, and arterioles, according to Hammersen), as well as lower ureteral reflex (= nutritional capillaries, indicating hyperfunction of ACTH-RH neuronal center, since they parallell related microvessel oscillations. In case of whatever acute inflammation, doctor observes "slight" activation of ACTH-RH neuronal cells and thus of adrenal cells. Such as condition slowly decreases when disorder ameliorates,as far as to normalization when disease disappears proving to play a pivotal role in inflammation therapeutic monitoring.
