Modification of focal cerebral ischemia by cardiac output augmentation
(Elsevier, 1985-11)
Intravascular volume expansion has been employed successfully for treatment of ischemic stroke from cerebral vasospasm and from cerebrovascular occlusive disease. The physiologic mechanism responsible for this success has ...
The application of ultrasound during brain surgery
(Springer-Verlag; Société Internationale de Chirurgie, 1987-10)
The use of intraoperative, real-time ultrasound imaging during intracranial neurosurgical procedures is described. This technique has proven to be extremely useful for localization of a wide variety of deep and superficial ...
Pre- and post-operative cerebral blood flow changes in subarachnoid haemorrhage
(Springer-Verlag, 1991-03)
Assessment of cerebral perfusion on patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) in the Neurologic Intensive Care Unit is difficult since nuclear medicine imaging modalities capable of measuring cerebral blood flow (CBF) ...
Malignant transformation of recurrent meningioma with pulmonary metastases
(Elsevier, 1989-05)
A patient presented with a histologically benign intracranial meningioma which, after multiple recurrences, underwent malignant transformation. The patient survived 18 years following initial presentation. Pulmonary ...
Paroxysmal bilateral dysosmia treated by resection of the olfactory bulbs
(Elsevier, 1993-08)
Dysosmia, or the distortion of olfaction, is most commonly preceded by viral illness or head trauma, but has a variety of etiologies. The precise nature of the disease process remains obscure. Medical management is largely ...
Effects of intraventricular infusion of vascular endothelial growth factor on cerebral blood flow, edema, and infarct volume
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Wien, 2003-01)
Background: Therapeutic cerebral angiogenesis, utilizing angiogenic factors to enhance collateral vessel formation within the central nervous system, is a potential method for cerebral revascularization. A prior dose-response ...
The role of the coagulation cascade in brain edema formation after intracerebral hemorrhage
(Springer-Verlag, 1996-04)
The coagulation cascade has a potential role in brain edema formation due to intracerebral hemorrhage. In this study blood and other solutions were injected stereotactically into the right basal ganglia in rats. Twenty-four ...
The effect of temperature on cerebrovascular resistance and cerebral metabolism in the primate
(Elsevier, 1978-08)
Using a primate single carotid perfusion model we studied CVR and A-VO2 differences through a wide range of cerebral temperatures. By keeping cerebral blood flow constant and systemic temperature normal, the influence of ...
Elevated intracranial pressure associated with hypermetabolism in isolated head trauma
(Springer-Verlag, 1988-09)
Both metabolic rate and protein catabolism are known to increase following severe head trauma, but the etiology of this hypermetabolism is unknown. To further investigate the problem, we studied the metabolism of 17 patients ...
Neurovascular decompression with selective partial rhizotomy of the trigeminal nerve for tic douloureux
(Elsevier, 1982-07)
Fourteen patients with classic tic douloureux were treated with neurovascular decompression of the trigeminal nerve at its zone of entry into the pons. In addition, selective rhizotomy of the portio major was performed in ...
