Long-term follow-up of arteriovenous malformations treated by the gamma-knife: CT and MRI following angiographically confirmed nidus obliteration
CT and MRI obtained after complete nidus obliteration had been angiographically confirmed were reviewed in nine patients who had undergone treatment with a gamma knife arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). The p...

Peritumoral Brain Edema and Cortical Damage by Meningioma
Forty supratentorial meningiomas were analyzed to identify factors causing peritumoral brain edema. Parasagittal, sphenoid ridge, and olfactory groove meningiomas induced edema more frequently than those in ot...

The Effect of BAY K-8644 on Cytotoxic Edema Induced by Total Ischemia of Rat Brain
The calcium channel activator BAY K-8644, a dihydropyridine (DHP) derivative, has been shown to possess neurochemical and behavioral activities, but its effect on ischemic brain damage has remained unknown. Th...

An Assessment of Progression of Brain Edema with Amino Acid Levels in Cerebrospinal Fluid and Changes in Electroencephalogram in an Adult Cat Model of Cold Brain Injury
We investigated the relationship between the changes of the electroencephalogram (EEG) and concentration of amino acids (AAs) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) using a model of cold brain injury. A cold injury was ...

Effect of YM737, a New Glutathione Analogue, on Ischemic Brain Edema
We investigated the effect of YM737, a monoester of glutathione (GSH), on brain edema and GSH content after occlusion of a middle cerebral artery (MCA) in the rat. The drug possesses stronger radical scavengin...

Biodistribution and Imaging of Chimeric Fab Fragment of Anti-Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) Monoclonal Antibody in Nude Mice Bearing Pancreatic Carcinoma Xenografts
We tested radiolocalization of pancreatic carcinoma xenografts in nude mice with recombinant mouse/human chimeric Fab fragment (chimeric Fab) of A10 anti-CEA monoclonal antibody (MAb). When compared to the par...

Changes of haemorheological factors induced by Magnevist and the influence of blood flow stimulation in magnetic field 2.5 T
Magnevist (gadolinium-DTPA) has been used as an MRI contrast agent in patients with limited brain perfusion, where rheological properties of blood play an important role. The dose-dependent effects of Magnevis...

Effect of Glutamate and Its Antagonist on Shift of Water from Extra- to Intracellular Space After Cerebral Ischaemia
The effects of glutamate and the excitatory amino acid antagonist, MK-801, were investigated on the time course of the shift of water from extracellular to intracellular space (progression or cytotoxic oedema)...

Calcium Antagonists and a Rapid Shift of Water from Extracellular to Intracellular Space After Cerebral Ischemia
In many respects calcium plays a key role in the central nervous system. Calcium antagonists may serve as protective agents in cerebral hypoxia or ischemia and may be useful in the treatment of cerebrovascular...
