OBJECTIVE
Oxidative damage has been implicated in the pathogenesis of cerebral ischemia. We previously demonstrated that exogenously supplied dehydroascorbic acid (DHA), an oxidized, blood-brain barrier transportable form of the antioxidant ascorbic acid (AA), improves outcome after experimental
BACKGROUND
The noninvasive management of the conservative therapy for intracranial pressure (ICP) with hyperosmolar substances is a central problem in the treatment of brain edema. Using transcranial Doppler (TCD), a continuous monitoring of ICP is now possible, because the TCD pulsatility index
In this study, 15 kinds of powders with different compression mechanisms were used in the process of filling-binding substances in tablets with pellets. Applied substances possessed dominant brittle time-independent mechanism or time-dependent viscoplastic, viscoelastic mechanism of compression.
Acute stroke presents an emergency that requires immediate referral to a specialized hospital, preferably with a stroke unit. Disability and mortality are reduced by 30% in patients treated in stroke units compared to those treated on regular wards, even if a specialized team is present on the ward.
It is expected that the number of patients with diabetes mellitus will increase in the near future. The high rate of microvascular and macrovascular complications developing in these patients will place an even higher burden on our healthcare systems. Several pathophysiological factors are involved
To assess the impact of irrigating fluid on hemodynamic profiles using real-time non-invasive cardiac output monitoring (NICOM) in elderly patients undergoing monopolar transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).Twenty patients between 65 and 80 years Hard gelatin capsule was coated by a cellulose acetate as a semipermeable membrane with or without castor oil and filled with propranolol hydrochloride and sorbitol as an osmotic agent. After sealing the capsule with white bees wax plug, the onset of release and dissolution rate of the drug were
NXF, a member of the basic helix-loop-helix-PAS transcription factor family, is thought to be involved in functional regulation of neurons, because significant expression is found in the mature brain. To elucidate functions of NXF in vivo, here we generated mice lacking NXF using homologous
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate in an animal model the haemostatic efficacy of vaporizing-cutting (VC) electrodes recently developed for use in high-energy transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).
METHODS
Four VC electrodes were assessed for their haemostatic efficacy in the muscle and liver of pigs
Astrocyte gap junction communication (GJC) is thought to contribute to death signal propagation following central nervous system injury, noteworthy in some ischemia/anoxia models. The inhibition of p38/stress-activated protein kinase 2 (p38/SAPK2) by a pyrimidyl imidazole derivative has been
Clinical data show that the later primary teeth are colonized by mutans streptococci (MS), the less caries will develop, if at all. Since up to 90% of teething children develop a sucking habit, pacifiers were designed to release preventive agents into the mouth. Simultaneous use of sodium fluoride
Dabigatran is an oral direct thrombin inhibitor (DTI) licensed for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation and likely to be soon approved in Europe for treatment of venous thrombosis. Predictable pharmacokinetics and a reduced risk of intracranial haemorrhage do not negate the potential risk of
Mitochondrial disorders (MDs) are inherited multi-organ diseases with variable phenotypes. Inclusion body myositis (IBM), a sporadic inflammatory muscle disease, also shows mitochondrial dysfunction. We investigated whether primary and secondary MDs modify metabolism to reveal pathogenic pathways
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterised by a destruction of pancreatic cells, which leads to absolute insulin deficiency. Persistently high glycaemia causes vascular damage throughout the body. Microvascular complications com-prise the following: nephropathy,
Background: Hyperkalaemia is a common electrolyte abnormality caused by reduced renal potassium excretion in patients with chronic kidney diseases (CKD). Potassium binders, such as sodium polystyrene sulfonate and calcium polystyrene
