Bilateral Wada test: Amobarbital or propofol? [PDF]
Seizure: the Journal of the British Epilepsy Association, 2014 The Wada test is still the gold standard procedure to predict language and memory deficits before temporal lobe epilepsy surgery. As amobarbital was no longer available, our aim was to validate propofol as an alternative.We retrospectively studied 47 patients who underwent a bilateral intracarotid procedure, performed with amobarbital (18), or propofol

Repeated Intracarotid Amobarbital Tests
Epilepsia, 2007 Summary: Rationale: Our goal was to determine the frequency of repeated intracarotid amobarbital test (IAT) at our center and to estimate the retest reliability of the IAT for both language and memory lateralization. Methods: A total of 1,249 consecutive IATs on 1,190 patients were retrospectively reviewed for repeat tests. Results: In 4% of patients

A STUDY OF THE INCLUSION COMPLEX OF AMOBARBITAL WITH HEPTAKIS (2,6-DI-O-METHYL)--CYCLODEXTRIN [PDF]
Bulletin of Pharmaceutical Sciences. Assiut University, 1991 The inclusion complex of amobarbital, a hypnotic and sedative agent, with heptakis (2,6-di-o-methyl)-b-cyclodextrin (DMCD) in aqueous solution and in the solid phase was studied by the solubility method, UV spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy (IR ...

Reversible blockade of complex I or inhibition of PKCβ reduces activation and mitochondria translocation of p66Shc to preserve cardiac function after ischemia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Excess mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mROS) play a vital role in cardiac ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury. P66Shc, a splice variant of the ShcA adaptor protein family, enhances mROS production by oxidizing reduced cytochrome c to yield H2O2 ...

Evaluation of the density spectral array in the Wada test: report of six cases
Brazilian Journal of Anesthesiology, 2021 Wada test is an invasive procedure used in the preoperative evaluation for epilepsy surgery to determine language lateralization, postoperative risk of amnesia syndrome, and to assess the risk of memory deficits. It involves injection of amobarbital into
