Naloxone-induced seizures in rats infected with Borna disease virus.

Only registered users can translate articles

The opioid antagonist naloxone is widely used in the emergency treatment of nontraumatic coma. Although it is uncommon for serious side effects to result from administration of opiate antagonists, we report that naloxone can have epileptogenic effects in the context of encephalitis. In an

TNF-overexpression in Borna disease virus-infected mouse brains triggers inflammatory reaction and epileptic seizures.

Proinflammatory state of the brain increases the risk for seizure development. Neonatal Borna disease virus (BDV)-infection of mice with neuronal overexpression of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF) was used to investigate the complex relationship between enhanced cytokine levels, neurotropic virus

Neuropeptide Y up-regulation in cerebrocortical neurons after Borna Disease Virus infection is unrelated to brain inflammation in rats.

Neuropeptides participate in the pathophysiology of cerebral inflammatory diseases. We analyzed the involvement of neuropeptide Y (NPY) in rat brain infected with Borna Disease Virus (BDV). NPY expressing cerebrocortical neurons were increased during the acute stage of BDV-induced encephalitis. The

Kappa opioid control of seizures produced by a virus in an animal model.

Only registered users can translate articles

Epilepsy remains a major medical problem of unknown aetiology. Potentially, viruses can be environmental triggers for development of seizures in genetically vulnerable individuals. An estimated half of encephalitis patients experience seizures and approximately 4% develop status epilepticus.

Borna disease in an adult alpaca stallion (Lama pacos).

Only registered users can translate articles

Borna disease (BD) was diagnosed in a 2-year-old male alpaca with a history of chronic suppressed sexual desire and acute stretching convulsions. Microscopical examination of the central nervous system revealed non-purulent meningoencephalitis with mononuclear perivascular cuffing. The diagnosis was

Investigations into shaking mink syndrome: an encephalomyelitis of unknown cause in farmed mink (Mustela vison) kits in Scandinavia.

Only registered users can translate articles

An apparently novel neurological disease clinically characterized by shaking, tremors, seizures, staggering gait, and ataxia was first observed in farmed mink kits in Denmark in 2000 and subsequently in Sweden, Denmark, and Finland in 2001, and again in Denmark in 2002. Lymphoplasmacytic

Activators of potassium M currents have anticonvulsant actions in two rat models of encephalitis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Opioid systems in hippocampus regulate excitability and kappa opioids have a role in anticonvulsant protection, but their mechanisms of action are incompletely understood. We examined the ability of opioid and nonopioid agents with overlapping ionic mechanisms and actions similar to kappa opioid

A role for endocannabinoids in viral-induced dyskinetic and convulsive phenomena.

Only registered users can translate articles

Dyskinesias and seizures are both medically refractory disorders for which cannabinoid-based treatments have shown early promise as primary or adjunctive therapy. Using the Borna disease (BD) virus rat, an animal model of viral encephalopathy with spontaneous hyperkinetic movements and seizure
