Bioenergetics Failure and Oxidative Stress in Brain Stem Mediates Cardiovascular Collapse Associated with Fatal Methamphetamine Intoxication
BACKGROUND Whereas sudden death, most often associated with cardiovascular collapse, occurs in abusers of the psychostimulant methamphetamine (METH), the underlying mechanism is much less understood. The demonstration that successful resuscitation of an arrested heart depends on maintained functionality of the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM), which is responsible for the maintenance of sta...
متن کاملCardiovascular Collapse in Acute
ALTHOUGH cardiovascular collapse had previously been noted in patients with acute poliomyelitis,' 2 Baker and his colleagues3' 4first indicated that this lethal symptom complex is a relatively common feature of bulbar poliomyelitis. They examined in detail the medulla of 80 cases dying of poliomyelitis and concluded that this syndrome was due to involvement of the large cells in the ventromedia...
متن کاملCardiovascular collapse with attempted pericardial drain withdrawal
Cardiac tamponade is a rare but serious emergency condition in the pediatric population. As treatment, a pericardial drain is often placed to evacuate the fluid. We present a case of a 4-year-old girl with cardiac tamponade secondary to renal failure. After the tamponade resolved, she suffered cardiovascular collapse upon attempted drain withdrawal. This case highlights an unusual cause for car...

متن کاملThe effect of glutaminergic system on cardiovascular regulation of rat
Introduction: The bed nucleus stria terminalis (BST) is a part of the limbic system, which plays a role in regulation of heart beat and blood circulation. It was recently shown that microinjection of L-glutamate in the BST elicits cardiovascular depressive, but the role of glutamate receptor subtypes has not been investigated yet. In this study, the role of glutamate receptor subgroups in regul...
