Peritumoral edema is a key stage in the infiltration and recurrence of glioma. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) increases the extent of peritumoral edema, which leads to a decrease in the effectiveness of PDT in treating glioma. The present study evaluated the effects of PDT combined with torasemide on
Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) are one of the major classes of antidiabetic drugs that are used widely. TZDs improve insulin resistance by activating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) and ameliorate diabetic and other nephropathies, at least, in experimental animals. However, TZDs
Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi (Anacardiaceae), popularly known as red aroeira, is used in traditional medicine to treat inflammatory, gastric, and respiratory disorders. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antihistaminic activity of S. terebinthifolius (St) bark extract by using in vivo and
The increased capillary fluid filtration required to rapidly create edema in acute inflammation can be generated by increased negativity of the interstitial fluid pressure (Pif). This observation suggests that connective tissues can "actively" enhance capillary fluid filtration. We now show that in
The development of myocardial edema and the changes in compliance during long-term preservation and reperfusion of 10 dog hearts were studied. Krebs solution, modified by the addition of potassium chloride (20 mEq/L), was used for 24 hours of low-pressure perfusion (15 mm Hg), at 4 degrees C. The
Twin-twin transfusion syndrome is a serious complication of monozygotic twin pregnancies and is associated with high rates of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Unfortunately, therapies to disrupt the arteriovenous anastomoses are limited, and the success rate of these therapeutic modalities are
The authors suggest a new method for sanitation of the bronchial pathways, making use of electrochemically activated solution of 0.8% potassium chloride, pN 2.5-3.0, that results in rapid fibrin lysis, microflora death and elimination of the purulent discharge from the bronchial routes, alleviation
A 32-year-old white female presented for her first Caesarean section. The procedure was performed under epidural anaesthesia. The anaesthetic drug was inadvertently diluted with potassium chloride instead of normal saline. This solution was then injected via an epidural catheter into the epidural
A 73-year old man underwent a segmental liver resection for a solitary liver metastasis from a rectal carcinoma. On post-operative day one, an accidental potassium chloride infusion (total 29 mmol or 1135 mg of KCl) was given via the epidural catheter. Within a few hours this resulted in pruritus,
Bumetanide was compared with furosemide in a total of 43 outpatients with edema due to renal disease, selected from three clinics following a uniform protocol. By random selection, 31 patients received 1 to 10 mg/day bumetanide, and 12 received 40 to 400 mg/day furosemide for at least six months.
Udder edema was studied in 9 affected and 3 control Holstein cows ranging in age from 2.5 to 8 years. A complete physical examination was done in conjunction with serum analysis for total protein, albumin, globulin, sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, and inorganic phosphorus 2 weeks before
OBJECTIVE
A combination of epidural and general anesthesia has been widely used to attenuate the surgical stress response and to provide postoperative analgesia. This case report illustrates the use of this anesthetic technique. Analgesia was induced with local anesthetic in the immediate
To determine the cause of death, in addition to routine autopsy, some assisted techniques are imperative to achieve a definite diagnosis. Herein, we report a case of 36-year-old man who was found dead in his apartment. Medical drug containers (potassium chloride, zolpidem, and propofol) and medical
To measure their relative upper gastrointestinal irritant potential, either 5 mg amiloride and 50 mg hydrochlorothiazide (twice daily) or 24 mEq wax-matrix potassium chloride (three times a day) were given to 30 normal subjects with no prior endoscopic abnormalities in the esophagus, stomach, or
To compare the effect of amiloride with that of oral potassium chloride (KCl) in hypokalemia, metabolic balance studies were carried out in hospitalized subjects with mild hypertension without edema who developed negative potassium balance after 4 days on hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ). Subjects' diets
