Anti-inflammatory effects of ergotamine in steers.

Only registered users can translate articles

The objective of this experiment was to investigate whether the ergot alkaloid, ergotamine (ET), an alkaloid used to model fescue toxicosis in cattle, modifies the response of cattle to endotoxin (LPS) challenge. Steers (n = 16) were divided into the following treatment groups: control (C),

[Non-tropical sprue and chronic inflammatory rectal stenosis in a patient with abuse of ergotamine-containing suppositories].

Only registered users can translate articles

A 51 year old Yugoslavian patient was admitted to our hospital in reduced general condition with distinct hypocalcemia, osteomalacia, and with rectum stenosis. Our investigations led to the diagnosis of a malabsorption syndrome due to non-tropical sprue. The most likely cause of the rectum stenosis

Increased proinflammatory cytokines production by ergotamine in male BALB/c mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

The ergopeptine alkaloid ergotamine (ET) mimics the effects of ergopeptine alkaloids found in endophyte-infected (E+) fescue forage considered causative for fescue toxicosis. Altered immune capacity, compromised intake and thermoregulation, and inflammatory changes are observed in fescue toxicosis.

The pharmacology of ergotamine and dihydroergotamine.

Only registered users can translate articles

The ergot alkaloids are a family of chemical entities that have many pharmacologic effects. Their diversity results from their interaction with multiple receptors, their variable receptor affinity and intrinsic activity, and their variable organ-specific receptor access. Ergotamine tartrate (ET) was

Acute treatment of migraine attacks: efficacy and safety of a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, diclofenac-potassium, in comparison to oral sumatriptan and placebo. The Diclofenac-K/Sumatriptan Migraine Study Group.

BACKGROUND Migraine attacks are often treated with simple analgesics or with ergotamine-containing preparations alone or in combination with anti-emetics. Although also sometimes used to treat migraine, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have not been systematically evaluated in

Ano-rectal lesions in patients taking suppositories containing non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID).

Only registered users can translate articles

We report on 3 cases in which ano-rectal lesions were associated with chronic administration of suppositories containing non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID). Lesions were characterized by erosions or ulcer in the rectum and by stenosis of the anal verge. Erosions or ulcers were observed in

Role of 5-HT5A and 5-HT1B/1D receptors in the antinociception produced by ergotamine and valerenic acid in the rat formalin test.

Only registered users can translate articles

Sumatriptan, dihydroergotamine and methysergide inhibit 1% formalin-induced nociception by activation of peripheral 5-HT1B/1D receptors. This study set out to investigate the pharmacological profile of the antinociception produced by intrathecal and intraplantar administration of ergotamine (a

[Retroperitoneal fibrosis associated with chronic use of ergotamine: report of one case].

Only registered users can translate articles

Retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF) associated with chronic use of ergotamine is a very rare disorder. We report a 45-year-old woman who presented with a RPf after using, almost daily for 23 years, ergotamine tartrate for migraine relief. FRP presented as a chronic inflammatory state, anemia, abdominal

Ergotamine-induced pleural and pericardial effusion successfully treated with colchicine.

Only registered users can translate articles

A 83-year-old woman was admitted to hospital with chest pain, fever, dry cough and palpitations. Chest X-ray revealed a pleural effusion, assumed to be caused by cardiac failure and respiratory infection. Despite treatment with antibiotics and diuretics, the pleural effusion increased on chest X-ray

Reversible conduction block in human ischemic neuropathy after ergotamine abuse.

Only registered users can translate articles

Conduction block [a significant reduction in compound muscle action potential (CMAP) amplitude after proximal compared to distal stimulation] is often found in demyelinating neuropathies, including inflammatory neuropathies and degenerative neuropathies, such as "liability to pressure neuropathy."

Treatment of headache.

Only registered users can translate articles

Headache is the most common complaint encountered in clinical practice. Approximately 45 million people in the United States experience chronic headaches. The management of migraine headache involves both pharmacologic and nondrug therapy. Drug therapy for migraine involves the use of abortive and

An introduction to migraine: from ancient treatment to functional pharmacology and antimigraine therapy.

Only registered users can translate articles

Migraine treatment has evolved from the realms of the supernatural into the scientific arena, but it seems still controversial whether migraine is primarily a vascular or a neurological dysfunction. Irrespective of this controversy, the levels of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT), a

Migraine treatment has evolved into the scientific arena, but it seems still controversial whether migraine is primarily a vascular or a neurological dysfunction. Irrespective of this controversy, the levels of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT), a vasoconstrictor and a central neurotransmitter,

Management of migraine: an algorithmic approach.

Only registered users can translate articles

Good management of migraine requires that the patient participate actively in decisions regarding therapeutic intervention. Most patients, when carefully informed, will engage in a wellness program that includes regular exercise and rest, good nutrition, and avoidance of headache triggers. Acute
