... addressed the new question regarding nonstroke central nervous system outcome after CPB as measured by neurocognitive testing. 1 , 11 What is now called “neurocognitive dysfunction” had been reported by Slogoff et al. 12 in Houston, Texas, in 1982 and Breuer et al. 13 in Cleveland, Ohio...

...Katherine T. Martucci, Ph.D.; Sean C. Mackey, M.D., Ph.D. Neuroimaging research has demonstrated definitive involvement of the central nervous system in the development, maintenance, and experience of chronic pain. Structural and functional neuroimaging has helped elucidate central nervous system...

... on the central nervous system and raise questions regarding the safety of using this drug at high doses during parathyroid gland surgery. METHYLENE blue   (MB) is a cationic thiazine dye being used in a wide range of different fields, such as biology, chemistry, and medicine. In clinical practice...

... by central or peripheral mechanisms. The aim of this study was to investigate whether these effects are mediated by an effect of naloxone on the central nervous system. Methods Twenty dogs were chronically instrumented for measurement of hemodynamic parameters. Splanchnic blood flow was determined using...

..., not decreased, with acetazolamide. 16 This is understandable because cerebral acidosis caused by acetazolamide also dilates cerebral vessels. In conclusion, in patients with central nervous system disease without other known predisposing factors, severe metabolic acidosis may occur with normal doses...

...Pamela Flood, MD; Jose Ramirez-Latorre, PhD; Lorna Role, PhD Background The mechanisms of action of general anesthetics are not completely understood. Many general anesthetics are reported to potentiate gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABAA) and glycine receptors in the central nervous system (CNS...

... chemoreflex loop. Acute pain increased the level of arousal significantly during sevoflurane inhalation but did not restore the approximately 30% depression of the acute hypoxic ventilatory response by sevoflurane. The central nervous system arousal state per se did not contribute to the impairment...

..., detailed mapping of tissue distribution, and synthesis of improved subtype-specific agonists and antagonists. It has become evident that muscarinic signaling plays an important role in the central nervous system (CNS), and that anesthetics interfere significantly with this system. This article focuses...

.... Right and left external carotid artery flows were summed and were interpreted as a characterization of peripheral blood flow. Cerebrovascular resistance was calculated as (MAP – intracranial pressure)/(cerebral blood flow/brain weight). Systemic vascular resistance was calculated as ([MAP – central...

... and inhibitory subpopulations. Neuropathic pain arises from a lesion or disease affecting the peripheral or central nervous system.
