Acidotoxicity in brain ischaemia.
Intracellular calcium toxicity remains the central feature in the pathophysiology of ischaemic cell death in brain. Glutamate-gated channels have been thought to be the major sites of ischaemia-induced toxic calcium entry, but the failure of glutamate antagonists in clinical trials has suggested that glutamate-independent mechanisms of calcium entry during ischaemia must exist and may prove cen...
متن کاملDrug therapy in brain ischaemia.
After many years of research, drug treatment in cerebral hypoxia is still controversial and no treatment appears to be firmly established. Not even the mechanisms causing damage have been established (Siesjo, 1981), only that they are linked to a disturbance in the oxygen demand: supply ratio. Enthusiasm for new modes of therapy have waxed and waned. We have witnessed alternating enthusiasm for...
متن کاملHigh dose barbiturates in non-traumatic brain swelling.
High dose barbiturates were used to treat intracranial hypertension in 15 patients with nontraumatic brain lesions; (3 hypertensive hemorrhage, 4 subarachnoid hemorrhage, 5 infarction, 2 global anoxia-ischemia and 2 encephalitis). All had persistently raised intracranial pressure (ICP) while being treated with aggressive conventional therapy. The addition of barbiturates caused an initial lower...
متن کاملAmelioration of post-ischemic brain damage with barbiturates.
PERHAPS THERE IS NO major pathological state so profound in its damaging effects on the sufferer, on his family, and on society as the brain injury produced by cardiac arrest, ischemic stroke, or other anoxic states. Thus, there is great interest among physicians and the lay public in experimental results which suggest a protective effect against brain damage after either focal or global brain ...
متن کاملInduced hypotension and brain ischaemia.
Autoregulation is the term used to describe the maintenance of constant perfusion over a range of arterial pressures. Autoregulation occurs in all vascular beds, but other mechanisms also act on vascular control, for example autonomic activity and plasma concentrations of hormones. The influence of these other mechanisms varies widely between different circuits, so that the effect of induced hy...
