antipsychotics/hypoxia

Early growth response-1 (Egr-1), a transcription factor which often underlies the molecular basis of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, and oxidative stress, is key to myocardial I/R injury. Silent information regulator of transcription 1(SIRT1) not only interacts with and is inhibited by

OBJECTIVE Neuroleptic malignant syndrome is an uncommon side effect of antipsychotic medications characterized by severe rigidity, tremor, fever, altered mental status, autonomic dysfunction, and elevated serum creatinine phosphokinase and white blood cell count. This paper presents a concise and

Two young women with no risk factors for cerebrovascular disease developed hyperpyrexia, rigidity, and autonomic features while taking neuroleptic agents. The first presented with increasing rigidity, profuse diaphoresis and dehydration, and a right hemiparesis, and computed tomography (CT) showed a

Owing to lagging or insufficient neo-angiogenesis, hypoxia is a feature of most solid tumors. Hypoxic tumor regions contribute to resistance against antiproliferative chemotherapeutics, radiotherapy and immunotherapy. Targeting cells in hypoxic tumor areas is therefore an important strategy for

We report an unusual case of thrombocytopenia associated with neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS). A 31-year-old Black male with a history of hypertension, partial seizures, and schizophrenia developed acute rigidity closely followed by severe hyperpyrexia (temperature 102 degree F), tachypnea, and

During cesarean delivery, the isoenzymic spectrum of lactate dehydrogenase and lactic acid levels were examined in 109 parturients with chronic fetal hypoxia. For initial anesthesia, sombrevin, kalipsol, hexenal were applied, basal anesthesia was performed with neuroleptic analgetics and combined

OBJECTIVE Obstructive sleep apnea is associated with cognitive impairment, but whether hypoxemia or repeated arousals and sleepiness are the underlying mechanism is controversial. Studies using a wide range of attention and executive functions tests in patients with severe sleep apnea are

BACKGROUND As a consequence of obstetric complications hypoxia has been discussed as a possible factor in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. The present study investigated the effects of weak chronic neonatal hypoxia in rats on different behavioural animal models of schizophrenia. METHODS (1)

Seventy-eight patients with acute neurotropic poisoning (soporifics, neuroleptics, antidepressants, ethanol and its surrogates, narcotics) were examined and treated. Study of the pathogenesis of hypoxic injuries in acute neurotropic poisoning demonstrated the efficiency of using Perfluorane, an

In 13 patients undergoing infrarenal aortic bypass operation under neuroleptic anaesthesia, prostaglandins (KH2PGF2 alpha, PGF2 alpha, 6-keto-PGF1 alpha) and thromboxane (TXB2) were measured immediately prior to, 5 min after and 15 min after eventration of the gut. Blood gas analyses were performed

Obstetric complications, like maternal hypertension and neonatal hypoxia, disrupt brain development, leading to psychiatry disorders later in life, like schizophrenia. The exact mechanisms behind this risk are not yet well known. Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) are a well-established model to

Delirium is common in hospitalized older patients and may be a symptom of a medical emergency, such as hypoxia or hypoglycemia. It is characterized by an acute change in cognition and attention, although the symptoms may be subtle and usually fluctuate throughout the day. This heterogeneous syndrome

Purpose: Since the development of antipsychotic drugs in the 1950s, a variety of studies and case reports have been published that suggest an association between exposure to typical antipsychotics and venous thromboembolisms (VTE).
