urea/edema

The morphological changes of the inner ear were observed after intravenous administration of 2 g/kg of urea to the guinea pigs with endolymphatic hydrops which had previously been produced by injecting 10% silver nitrate solution into the endolymphatic sac. They showed membranous collapse

Cerebral microembolism was performed in rats by injecting radioactive calibrated 50 mu microspheres into the left internal carotid artery. The use of radioactive microspheres as embolic agents enabled the number of microspheres to be determined in each cerebral hemisphere. Edema was assessed 24 h

Due to keratolytic and epidermis-thinning effects 10% urea/w/o is effective in the treatment of papillomatosis cutis verrucosa (lymphostatic papillomatosis). If possible, compression bandages should be used. Indirect lymphography reveals abnormalities of dermal lymphdrainage in papillomatosis cutis

To see whether, by avoiding red blood cell transport effects, [14C]-sucrose would be a more sensitive lung vascular permeability indicator than [14C]urea, we compared the effects of 4 microgram/kg-min intravenous histamine phosphate infusions on lung vascular permeability-surface area products (PS)

Cerebral edema is a serious side effect of malignant stroke. On average 70,000 patients are diagnosed with malignant cerebral edema every year, of those patients, approximately 60-80% results in fatalities. The treatment of cerebral edema includes multimodality approaches. In this article, we
