OBJECTIVE
After the withdrawal of some cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) selective inhibitors, traditional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use has increased, but without additional prevention strategies against upper gastrointestinal (GI) complications in many cases. Here, we report the effect of
The role of nitric oxide (NO) in the mechanism of delayed cerebral vasospasm (VS) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) was investigated by analyzing the stable metabolites of NO, nitrite and nitrate, by the Griess method in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and venous blood of 29 patients with SAH, the
A patient with severe cyclophosphamide cystitis was treated with intravesical silver nitrate instillation to control bleeding. This resulted in apparent reflux and extravasation of the silver nitrate solution with secondary retroperitoneal inflammation. Subsequently, the patient required treatment
Chyluria is a urological manifestation of lymphatic system disease. Sclerotherapy of the renal pelvis (RPIS) using 1% silver nitrate, along with diethyl carbamazine, is the treatment most frequently used. Massive haematuria due to intrarenal aneurysm following RPIS has not been reported. A case is
The findings of various studies reporting temporal changes in CSF total nitrite/nitrate (NOx) levels after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) vary considerably. The study group comprised 10 patients with SAH and 10 control subjects. Total nitrite/nitrate concentration was measured by a vanadium-based
The authors investigated changes of some haemodynamic parameters after sclerotization of oesophageal varices and after administration of isosorbide dinitrate in the preparation Iso Mack retard. Twenty patients with cirrhosis of the liver with oesophageal varices grade 3-4 were treated by endoscopic
Potential use of total nitrite plus nitrate (NOx) and nitrite (NO2-) separately as surrogate markers for serum nitric oxide in severe dengue and their longitudinal changes along with the progression of infection was studied. Deproteinized sera from confirmed dengue fever (DF, n = 145) and dengue
The authors investigated changes of some haemodynamic parameters after sclerotization of oesophageal varices and after administration of isosorbide dinitrate in the preparation Iso Mack retard. Twenty patients with cirrhosis of the liver with oesophageal varices grade 3-4 were treated by endoscopic
In a prospective clinical investigation on neurochemical intensive care monitoring, the authors' aim was to elucidate the temporal profile of nitric oxide metabolite concentrations-that is, nitrite and nitrate (NO(x))--and compounds related to energy-metabolism in the cerebral interstitium of
Experimental studies suggest that nitric-oxide releasing drugs reduce gastroduodenal damage induced by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, but it is not known whether these agents have this effect in humans. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the risk of upper gastrointestinal bleeding
Cerebral vasospasm and neuronal apoptosis after subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in SAH patients. So far, single-target agents have not prevented its occurrence. Memantine, a non-competitive NMDA re3ceptor antagonist, is known to alleviate Silver nitrate irrigations after cystoscopic evacuation of clots stopped intractable hemorrhage from the bladder in 8 of 9 children who had received cyclophosphamide and/or pelvic irradiation for various malignant diseases. This method of management produces fewer adverse side effects yet appears to
OBJECTIVE
Hemorrhagic cystitis is a challenging clinical entity with limited evidence available to guide treatment. The use of intravesical silver nitrate has been reported, though supporting literature is sparse. Here, we sought to assess outcomes of patients treated with intravesical silver
Intravesical silver nitrate has been used for intractable bladder hemorrhage. A case of anuria resulting from this technique is reported. The etiology of anuria in this patient was probably owing to obstruction from deposition of silver salts. The level of obstruction was the ureterovesical junction
