چکیده

INTRODUCTION The antihistamine chlorpheniramine presents multiple adverse side effects on the central nervous system. In earlier work it has been observed that a dose equal to the one used in this study alters the evoked potentials PN (processing negativity) and MMN (mismatch negativity), which are, respectively, indicators of selective attention and of an automatic mechanism for detecting changes in auditory stimulation. AIMS. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of a single 4 mg dose of dexchlorpheniramine on the evoked potential P300, to enable us to better define its effects on the central nervous system. Subjects and methods. Using the double blind procedure, half a sample consisting in 20 subjects was administered 4 mg of dexchlorpheniramine and the other 10 received placebo. 150 minutes after ingestion the potential P300 was recorded using an active oddball paradigm. Likewise, efficiency in detecting target stimuli was also evaluated. RESULTS results show that a single 4 mg dose of dexchlorpheniramine does not alter P300 nor efficiency in detecting target stimuli. CONCLUSIONS Results show that the dose used has no effect on voluntary processes involving the categorization of target stimuli nor on their detection. However, the alteration of other attentional mechanisms observed in previous work using the same doses suggests that it would be advisable to employ different evoked potential paradigms in the evaluation of the side effects other active principles or psychoactive substances have on auditory attention.

Evaluation of the Hidden Markov Model for Detection of P300 in EEG Signals

Introduction: Evoked potentials arisen by stimulating the brain can be utilized as a communication tool  between humans and machines. Most brain-computer interface (BCI) systems use the P300 component,  which is an evoked potential. In this paper, we evaluate the use of the hidden Markov model (HMM) for  detection of P300.  Materials and Methods: The wavelet transforms, wavelet-enhanced indepen...

Development and Application of a Validated Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry Method for the Determination of Dexchlorpheniramine Maleate in Human Plasma

     A convenient liquid chromatographic-single Quadrupole mass spectrometric (LC-MS) method was developed and validated for dexchlorpheniramine maleate (INN name: chlorphenamine) determination in human plasma. The need for just a single liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate and being highly sensitive were the advantages of this method. The linearity was also excellent over the range of 1...

Evaluation of the one-year effectiveness and side effects of rituximab in patients with multiple sclerosis in Kermanshah

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disease affecting the central nervous system. Rituximab (Zytux) is a type of monoclonal antibody against B cells with CD20 antigen that reduces B cells. The present study examined the one-year effectiveness and side effects of Rituximab. Methods: This quasi-experimental clinical trial was conducted from September 2018 to September 2019 in ...

EVALUATION OF SIDE EFFECTS OF LOW DOSE CONTRACEPTIV E PILLS ADMINISTERED BY THE VAGINAL ROUTE

Oral contraceptive pills have several side effects especially on the gastrointestinal tract and liver. Absorption of low dose (LD) pills by the vaginal route avoids the first pass of the steroids through these tracts and probably has fewer side effects. This study was a cohort study for evaluation of side effects and acceptability of LD pills administered by the vaginal route. In a clinical...

Control of a 2-DoF robotic arm using a P300-based brain-computer interface

In this study, a novel control algorithm, based on a P300-based brain-computer interface (BCI) is fully developed to control a 2-DoF robotic arm. Eight subjects including 5 men and 3 women perform a 2-dimensional target tracking in a simulated environment. Their EEG (Electroencephalography) signals from visual cortex are recorded and P300 components are extracted and evaluated to perform a real...
