Phenytoin pretreatment prevents hypoxic-ischemic brain damage in neonatal rats.
This study was performed to investigate whether the anticonvulsant phenytoin has neuroprotective effect in a model of hypoxia-ischemia with neonatal rats. The left carotid artery of each rat was ligated, followed by 3 h of hypoxic exposure (8% O2) in a temperature-regulated environment (36 degrees C). Two weeks later, brain damage was assessed by measuring loss of brain hemisphere weight. Pheny...
متن کاملBrain damage after intrathecal methotrexate.
Ten brains from leukaemic patients given intrathecal methotrexate and 10 from leukaemic patients without intrathecal therapy have been examined. Three of the methodtrexate treated patients appear to have died from their therapy. The histological changes consisted of destruction of oligodendrocytes, sometimes complete over large areas, and sometimes relatively slight. All the patients who surviv...
متن کاملBrain damage after heat stroke.
Cerebellar syndromes and radiologic cerebellar atrophy after hyperpyrexia have occasionally been reported, mostly in neuroleptic malignant syndromes, but neuropathologic studies are extremely rare. We studied 3 patients (a 74-year-old woman, a 63-year-old man, and an 80-year-old man) who had heat stroke during heat waves in France. One patient had generalized seizures and died 28 hours after ad...
متن کاملBrain Damage after Febrile Convulsions
Despite the suggestions of several writers on the importance of convulsive seizures in infancy as an aetiological factor in the development of cerebral palsies, little attention is given to this association in the standard texts in general medicine and pathology, or even in the more special treatises on diseases of the nervous system. It is not altogether surprising, therefore, that convulsions...
متن کاملA comparison of central brain (cerebrospinal and extracellular fluids) and peripheral blood kinetics of phenytoin after intravenous phenytoin and fosphenytoin
Phenytoin (PHT) is a first-line drug in the treatment of status epilepticus. However, the parenteral PHT formulation is associated with administration difficulties and therefore fosphenytoin (FosPHT), a PHT pro-drug, has been developed. As the peripheral (blood) and central (cerebrospinal fluid [CSF] and brain extracellular fluid [ECF]) kinetic inter-relationship of PHT after i.v. FosPHT admini...
