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

The Wada test with propofol in a patient with epilepsy [PDF]

Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 2000
The usual drug used in the Wada test is amobarbital, but it is not available in Brazil. Propofol was already used by Bazin et al. in 1998, and in their report the test resulted good in the absence of any adverse effect.

The lesioned brain: still a small world?

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2010
The intra-arterial amobarbital procedure (IAP or Wada test) is used to determine language lateralization and contralateral memory functioning in patients eligible for neurosurgery because of pharmaco-resistant epilepsy.

Propofol, An Alternative to Amobarbital in Wadas Test in Electro corticography Based Epilepsy Surgery for Determining Dominance of Brain

Nepal Journal of Neuroscience, 2016
Amobarbital which is used rampantly for Wadas test is not available in Nepal and to find a dominant hemisphere in a functional Electro corticography (ECoG) based epilepsy surgery is a must.

Neuropsychological evaluation in American Sign Language: A case study of a deaf patient with epilepsy

Epilepsy & Behavior Reports, 2022
In high-stake cases (e.g., evaluating surgical candidacy for epilepsy) where neuropsychological evaluation is essential to care, it is important to have culturally and linguistically appropriate and accessible neuropsychological instruments and ...

Localization of beta power decrease as measure for lateralization in pre-surgical language mapping with magnetoencephalography, compared with functional magnetic resonance imaging and validated by Wada test

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2022
Objective: Atypical patterns of language lateralization due to early reorganizational processes constitute a challenge in the pre-surgical evaluation of patients with pharmaco-resistant epilepsy.

The impact of cannabis use on intracarotid amobarbital testing

Epilepsy & Behavior Reports, 2019
Chronic cannabis use impacts memory functioning, even while users are not acutely intoxicated. The impact of cannabis use on Wada or intracarotid amobarbital testing (IAT) has not previously been described.
