Introduction. Central hyperthermia is common in patients with brain injury. It typically has a rapid onset with high temperatures and marked fluctuations and responds poorly to antibiotics and antipyretics. It is also associated with worse outcomes in the brain injured patient. Recognizing this, it is important to aggressively manage it. Case Report. We report a 34-year-old male with a right th...

same adverse symptoms while taking pergolide but the remaining four were able to tolerate long term treatment with pergolide. One of this last group (case 17) had suffered a rash while taking bromocriptine, which did not recur on pergolide. In all, six patients stopped taking pergolide because of side effects; four had suffered the same symptoms during previous treatment with bromocriptine (nau...

The effect of the dopamine agonist, bromocriptine, and the dopamine antagonist, metoclopramide, on glucose tolerance was examined in maturity onset diabetics and normal subjects. After bromocriptine there was a lowered fasting blood glucose and improved glucose tolerance in the diabetics. The controls showed an initial improvement in glucose tolerance. A reduction in insulin levels and a marked...

Dopaminergic drugs affect a variety of cognitive processes, but the direction and extent of effects vary across individuals and tasks. Paradoxical effects are observed, by which the same drug causes cognitive enhancing as well as adverse effects. Here, we demonstrate that individual differences in impulsive personality account for the contrasting effects of dopaminergic drugs on working memory ...

To investigate the effects of bromocriptine on the secretion mechanism of pituitary gonadotropins and ovarian sex steroids, 5 mg of bromocriptine was administered to four normally cycling women in the follicular, pre-ovulatory, mid-luteal or menstrual phase, respectively. Blood samplings were taken from two hours before until six hours after the administration every 15 min. by an intravenous in...

BACKGROUND Sensory gating, often described as the ability to filter out irrelevant information that is repeated in close temporal proximity, is essential for the selection, processing, and storage of more salient information. This study aimed to test the effect of sensory gating under anesthesia in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of monkeys following injection of bromocriptine, haloperidol, and phe...

To test the hypothesis that prolactin mediates the increase in seminal volumes induced by sexual stimulation in stallions, semen was collected from six stallions every other day for 26 d. The last eight collection days were treatment days. For each stallion, four treatments were randomly assigned to the first four of the eight treatment collection days, and then repeated in reverse order on the...
