The pharmacological treatment of epilepsy in adults
Abstract The pharmacological treatment of epilepsy entails several critical decisions that need to be based on an individual careful risk–benefit analysis. These include when to initiate treatment and with which antiseizure medication (ASM). With more than 25 ASMs on the market, physicians have opportunities to tailor the treatment to individual ...

Hypoxia signaling in cancer: Implications for therapeutic interventions
Solid tumors gradually form a hypoxic malignant microenvironment during growth, which promotes tumor proliferation and metastasis by affecting metabolism, angiogenesis, and immune escape, and finally leads to therapeutic resistance. In recent years, hypoxia‐inducible factor inhibitors, direct targeting of hypoxic cells, and respiratory hyperoxia have ...

Effects of hyperoxia on 18F-fluoro-misonidazole brain uptake and tissue oxygen tension following middle cerebral artery occlusion in rodents: Pilot studies. [PDF]
PURPOSE:Mapping brain hypoxia is a major goal for stroke diagnosis, pathophysiology and treatment monitoring. 18F-fluoro-misonidazole (FMISO) positron emission tomography (PET) is the gold standard hypoxia imaging method.

The kinetic competition between the NO and NO2 loss channels in 2‐Nitroimidazole ions favours the former channel at low energies (<12.76 eV). Thus, at these energies, 2‐Nitroimidazole is an exclusive NO source, unlike 4 and 5‐Nitroimidazole isomers.

In vitro metabolism of misonidazole [PDF]
Misonidazole (MISO) is a nitroimidazole drug currently undergoing clinical trials as a radiosensitizer of hypoxic tumour cells. The drug is also toxic to such cells, probably because of metabolic activation of the nitro group under hypoxia. The metabolic fate of 14C-labelled MISO is examined, using hypoxic mammalian (CHO) cells in vitro.

A Robust Oxygen Microbubble Radiosensitizer for Iodine‐125 Brachytherapy
Tumor‐specific ultrasound‐activated oxygen microbubbles are developed to sensitize hypoxic tumor cells for 125I brachytherapy. The microbubbles, lyophilized for storage and easily reconstituted in situ before administration, have much better stability by the addition of sulfur hexafluoride into oxygen.

Bleomycin and misonidazole cytotoxicity [PDF]
Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells were exposed in vitro to combinations of bleomycin and misonidazole under hypoxic conditions. Only one drug was present at any given time and cells were washed before being exposed to the second drug. Both drugs induced potentially lethal damage (PLD). This damage was repaired under hypoxic conditions very rapidly, and
