    Summary: This book is a practical resource for the current applications of interventional radiology in the care of female patients. Divided into seven main sections, the book opens with an introduction to the role of interventional radiology in women's health, discussing such topics as specific concerns relevant to the female patient and safety considerations related to the provision of care. The sections that follow address common clinical problems and conditions unique to women, including uterine fibroids, infertility, pelvic pain, osteoporosis, and varicose veins. A final section describes interventional procedures for treating breast cancer and offers key recommendations for further practice development.

    The effect of the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) precursor 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) on the thermoregulatory responses of unanesthetized rats were assessed at three different ambient temperatures (Ta) of 8, 22 and 31 degrees C. Intraperitoneal administration of either 5-HTP alone or 5-HTP plus R04-4602 (the peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor) produced dose-dependent hypothermia at both Ta's of 8 and 22 degrees C. The hypothermia was brought about solely by a decrease in metabolic heat production at 8 degrees C Ta. At 22 degrees C Ta, the hypothermia was due to both a decrease in metabolic heat production and an increase in tail and footsole skin temperature. However, at 31 degrees C Ta, there were no changes in rectal temperature in response to either 5-HTP or 5-HTP plus R04-4602 application. The data suggest that an increase in 5-HT levels in brain decreases heat production and/or increase heat loss and leads to hypothermia in rats.
