Usefulness of serotoninergic challenge with oral citalopram Utilidade do desafio serotoninérgico com citalopram oral
Abst rac t Objective: Challenge tests designed to evaluate serotoninergic pathways have widely used intravenous citalopram. Oral citalopram has also been used, but unsatisfactory results were obtained with a dose of 20 mg. The objective of this study was to determine whether a higher oral dose would reproduce similar to those described for intravenous administration. To that end, we evaluated c...
متن کاملTest-retest reliability of task-related pharmacological MRI with a single-dose oral citalopram challenge
Non-invasive assessment of human neurotransmitter function is a highly valuable tool in clinical research. Despite the current interest in task-based pharmacological MRI (phMRI) for the assessment of neural correlates of serotonin (5-HT) function, test-retest reliability of this technique has not yet been established. Using a placebo-controlled crossover design, we aimed to examine the repeatab...
متن کاملASL phMRI After a Single Dose of Oral Citalopram
Introduction Pharmacological MRI (phMRI), the combination of pharmacological challenge and imaging, is a novel and noninvasive method for assessing drug effects on brain function. To date, most phMRI has been based on blood-oxygenation-level-dependent (BOLD) contrast acquired during intravenous drug administration. Because BOLD provides nonquantitative measure that is dependent on both physiolo...
متن کاملBronchial challenge tests: usefulness, availability and limitations
Indirect challenges to assess bronchial hyperresponsiveness are being increasingly used both for research and for assessment in the routine pulmonary function laboratory. ‘‘Indirect challenges act by causing the release of endogenous mediators that cause the airway smooth muscle to contract with or without inducing microvascular leakage. Because the responses to these challenges are modified or...
