Patients with altered cerebral autoregulation or intracranial compliance may be extremely susceptible to the sudden variations in MAP and cerebral vasodilation induced by sodium nitroprusside.

Calcium channel blocker (CCB)-related edema is quite common in clinical practice and can effectively deter a clinician from continued prescription of these drugs. Its etiology relates to a ...

From the Department of Neurology and Psychiatry, School of Medicine, University of Genova, Genova, Italy. Autoregulation of cerebral blood flow (constant perfusion despite variations in blood pressure ...

Rats (250 to 350 g) were anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital (Nembutal, 50 mg/kg body weight, IP). The role of 20-HETE in autoregulation of CBF was examined using laser Doppler flowmetry through a ...

Cerebral blood flow (CBF) was measured in anaesthetised cats with 133Xe clearance method under normal conditions and with hyperammonaemia. Elevation of blood ammonia concentration by an intravenous ...

Disturbed cerebrovascular autoregulation is almost uniformly present since cerebral blood flow is reduced while blood pressure remains in the normal range. Other symptoms of sympathetic activation ...

Keeping adequate and constant blood supply to the brain is extremely important to ensure a stable delivery of oxygen and to remove the waste products of metabolism of the brain, especially in patients ...

The swine brain is emerging as a potentially valuable translational animal model of neurodevelopment and offers the ability to assess the impact of experimentally induced neurological disorders.

Bis-(3′-5′)-cyclic dimeric guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) is a ubiquitous bacterial second-messenger molecule that is involved in the molecular decision between planktonic motile and ...

Real estate is a significant source of value creation for the economy. Indeed, real estate, rentals and leasing rank as the number two contributors to Quebec and Canada’s gross domestic product.

The pathophysiology of stroke is complex and is not limited to neuronal damage only. Neurovascular dysfunction, as a consequence of the impaired crosstalk between neurons, glia, and vascular ...
