We previously reported neuroprotective activity of the botanical anti-cancer drug candidate PBI-05204, a supercritical CO2 extract of Nerium oleander, in brain slice and in vivo models of ischemic stroke. We showed that one component of this neuroprotective activity is mediated through its principal
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists, used widely in the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer and hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, are associated with a rare but potentially fatal outcome of pituitary apoplexy (PA). An 85-year-old man presented with sudden onset of headache, left eye
Summary: Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists, currently used in the treatment of advanced prostate cancer, have been described as a rare cause of pituitary apoplexy, a potentially life-threatening clinical condition. We report
LHRH analogs have become a promising modality in prostate cancer therapy as an alternative to surgical castration, and the use of these agents is generally considered to be safe. Since now, only few cases of an apoplexy of previously undiagnosed pituitary adenoma (usually gonadotropinoma) at the
Systemic cancer and ischemic stroke are common conditions and two of the most frequent causes of death among the elderly. The association between cancer and stroke has been reported worldwide. Stroke causes severe disability for cancer patients, while cancer increases the risk of stroke. Moreover,
BACKGROUND
Purple sweet potato (
Ipomoea Batatas L.) is one of the sources for anthocyanin, which promotes the health through antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, neuroprotection, and anti-apoptosis activities. Oxidative stress has been shown to be the cause of
The acronym mTOR defines a family of serine-threonine protein kinase called mammalian target of rapamycin. The major role of these kinases in the cell is to merge extracellular instructions with information about cellular metabolic resources and to control the rate of anabolic and catabolic
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) and stroke can occur as vascular complication of anticancer treatment. Although the mechanisms, monitoring, and management of cardiotoxicities have received broad attention, vascular toxicities remain often underrecognized. In addition, the development of new
The principal active constituent of the botanical drug candidate PBI-05204, a supercritical CO(2) extract of Nerium oleander, is the cardiac glycoside oleandrin. PBI-05204 shows potent anticancer activity and is currently in phase I clinical trial as a treatment for patients with solid tumors. We
Vascular complications associated with antineoplastic agents are being reported with increasing frequency. Such vascular toxicity is clinically heterogeneous, ranging from asymptomatic arterial lesions to a fatal thrombotic microangiopathic syndrome. Mitomycin is most commonly implicated in the
BACKGROUND
Tamoxifen, which is used widely to treat, and increasingly to prevent, breast cancer, has been associated with increased risk of stroke. We assessed the impact of tamoxifen treatment for breast cancer on the risk of stroke, considering dose, duration, and recency of use of tamoxifen and
Introduction: 5-Fluorouracil is an antineoplastic agent generally used to treat various types of solid tumors. The common adverse drug reaction associated with 5-fluorouracil are myelosuppression, mucositis, diarrhea, and hand-foot
Antineoplastic agents have been associated with cerebral hemorrhage, infarction and cerebral venous thrombosis. Infarctions have been reported in association with L-asparaginase, cisplatinium, methotrexate and 5-fluro-uracil. The mechanisms by which antineoplastic agents may lead to stroke include
Cinnamomum verum is used to make the spice cinnamon and has been used for more than 5000 years by both of the two most ancient forms of medicine in the words: Ayurveda and traditional Chinese herbal medicines for various applications such as adenopathy, rheumatism, dermatosis, dyspepsia, stroke,
Anthracycline chemotherapy (e.g., doxorubicin or DOX) is associated with a cumulative dose-dependent cardiac dysfunction that may lead to congestive heart failure, which limits both its use and usefulness in the clinic. The cardiotoxicity may manifest acutely and/or months or years after treatment
