Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor does not affect contusion size, brain edema or cerebrospinal fluid glutamate concentrations in rats following controlled cortical impact
Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is an established treatment in the neutropenic host. Usage in headinjured patients at risk for infection may aggravate brain damage. In contrast, evidence of G-CSF...

Differential effects of prolonged isoflurane anesthesia on plasma, extracellular, and CSF glutamate, neuronal activity, 125I-Mk801 NMDA receptor binding, and brain edema in traumatic brain-injured rats
Background. Volatile anesthetics reduce neuronal excitation and cerebral metabolism but can also increase intracellular water accumulation in normal and injured brains. While attenuation of neuronal excitation an...

Neuronal activity and cortical perfusion determined by quantitative EEG analysis and laser Doppler flowmetry are uncoupled in brain injured rats
Following traumatic brain injury uncoupling of metabolism from perfusion, reflected by an increase in cellular activity in face of reduced perfusion contributes to secondary tissue damage.
