Effect of diclofenac on cerebral blood flow velocity in patients with supratentorial tumours.

چکیده
BACKGROUND The aim of this investigation was to determine the effects of diclofenac on cerebral blood flow. Middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity was measured in nine patients with supratentorial tumours. METHODS Using a transcranial Doppler ultrasound, we measured the baseline mean and systolic cerebral blood flow velocity. Measurements were repeated following administration of diclofenac 75 mg i.v. RESULTS There was no significant change in cerebral blood flow velocity. All other physiological variables remained constant. CONCLUSION Diclofenac does not cause a significant change in cerebral blood flow velocity in patients with supratentorial tumours.

A survey of intracranial blood flow velocity in thalassemia intermedia in Khuzestan Province, Iran
Background: Beta-thalassemia intermedia (BTI) is a type of hemoglobinopathy with an increased risk of cerebrovascular accidents, and transcranial cerebral Doppler ultrasonography (TCD) through determining the mean cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) can serve to predict the risk of a developing stroke. This study aims to compare patients with beta-thalassemia intermedia and healthy individuals ...

Background: An imbalance of the cerebrovascular response during functional activation of the brain has been postulated as a factor in the pathophysiology of migraine. The purpose of this study was to determine the transcranial doppler sonography (TDS) diagnostic value for the cerebral flow velocity changes in the interictal phase of classic migraine. Methods: This study was carried out on 46 pa...
