Brain edema in acute liver failure and chronic liver disease: Similarities and differences [PDF]
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a complex neuropsychiatric syndrome that typically develops as a result of acute liver failure or chronic liver disease. Brain edema is a common feature associated with HE. In acute liver failure, brain edema contributes to

Therapeutic time window for conivaptan treatment against stroke-evoked brain edema and blood-brain barrier disruption in mice. [PDF]
Ischemic stroke is often complicated by brain edema, disruption of blood-brain barrier (BBB), and uncontrolled release of arginine-vasopressin (AVP).

Brain edema formation and therapy after intracerebral hemorrhage
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) accounts for about 10% of all strokes in the United States of America causing a high degree of disability and mortality. There is initial (primary) brain injury due to the mechanical disruption caused by the hematoma. There

After stroke and brain contusion, serum proteins extravasate into nerve tissue through disrupted blood-brain barrier (BBB). Because extravasations of serum proteins result in vasogenic brain edema, serum albumin level in the brain is an indicator of BBB

The Value of Anlotinib in the Treatment of Intractable Brain Edema: Two Case Reports
About 20-30 percent of patients with cancer, such as non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, melanoma and renal cell carcinoma, will develop brain metastases (BM). Primary and secondary brain tumors are often accompanied by peritumoral edema.

Secondary Hematoma Expansion and Perihemorrhagic Edema after Intracerebral Hemorrhage: From Bench Work to Practical Aspects. [PDF]
Intracerebral hemorrhages (ICH) represent about 10-15% of all strokes per year in the United States alone. Key variables influencing the long-term outcome after ICH are hematoma size and growth.

Contribution of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 to Cerebral Edema and Functional Outcome following Experimental Subarachnoid Hemorrhage [PDF]
Background: Cerebral edema is an important risk factor for death and poor outcome following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). However, underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood.

Peritumoral brain edema in intracranial meningiomas Edema peritumoral em meningiomas intracranianos
Occurrence of peritumoral brain edema (PBE) in meningiomas has been associated with several factors in recent years, although its pathophysiological mechanism has not yet been fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to analyze the correlation between
