Relationship of Cerebral Blood Flow Disturbances with Brain Oedema Formation

1993

Brain oedema is an important factor which compromises maintenance of the cerebral blood flow. Conversely, primary blood flow disturbances are leading to brain oedema. The mechanisms underlying blood flow impairment by brain oedema are associated with an increased regional tissue pressure in proportion to the degree of water accumulation in the parenchyma. The release of vasoactive mediator compounds might be considered in addition. Primary disturbances of the cerebral blood flow, such as focal or global cerebral ischaemia are leading to an increased cerebral water content. A decrease of the cerebral blood flow to ca. 40% of normal or below has been found to result in the development of brai…

Role of Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in Organ Transplantation

1997

Reperfusion of oxygenated blood into previously ischemic tissue is essential to prevent the progression of cellular injury due to the decreased nutritional blood flow, i.e., the decreased delivery of oxygen and metabolic substrates, as well as the removal of harmful metabolic byproducts. However, it has become obvious that reperfusion also initiates a complex series of pathologic events that contribute to, rather than prevent, further tissue damage. Moreover, a growing body of evidence indicates that ischemia/reperfusion injury is initiated by events that occur at the level of the microcirculation. In the first part of this overview, we will delineate the major components of the microcircul…

Drainage großer Brustdrüsenabszesse unter ästhetischen und funktionellen Aspekten

1991

In 11 puerperal women, a breast abscess was treated by drainage from the inframammary fold. Eight patients wished to continue breast feeding. During the healing period, the babies were not breast fed on the operated side. In 3 patients, the skin over the abscess necrotised, resulting in a defect of 1 to 2 cm. In 2 patients, a small seroma had to be punctured after removing the drainage tube. Aesthetic results were judged by the patients as good. Resumation of suckling on the operated side revealed only 15 to 20% milk yield compared to that of the other breast. This treatment meets aesthetic and function-preserving criteria.

The use of a questionnaire for improvement of postoperative analgesia after transurethral resection of the prostate

2003

Abstract Background : Postoperative analgesic studies with methods like i.v. patient controlled analgesia (i.v. PCA) or epidural analgesia have reported effective pain relief after major surgery, also after urologic cancer surgery. In contrast, systematic results after minor urologic surgery are widely unknown, although the pain intensities may be high for a short time. The aim of the study was to evaluate the usefulness of a pain questionnaire as a measurement tool of postoperative analgesic quality after transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR-P). Methods : A questionnaire of the American Pain Society (APS) for quality assurance of postoperative pain therapy was adapted to estimate t…

Programming of neural progenitors of the adult subependymal zone towards a glutamatergic identity by Neurogenin2

2017

ABSTRACTWhile the adult subependymal zone (SEZ) harbors pools of distinct neural stem cells that generate different types of GABAergic interneurons, a small progenitor population in the dorsal SEZ expresses Neurog2 and gives rise to glutamatergic neurons. Here we investigated whether SEZ progenitors can be programmed towards glutamatergic neurogenesis through forced expression of Neurog2. Retrovirus-mediated expression of Neurog2 induced the glutamatergic neuron lineage markers Tbr2 and Tbr1 in cultured SEZ progenitors which subsequently differentiated into functional glutamatergic neurons. Likewise, retrovirus-mediated expression of Neurog2 in dividing SEZ progenitors within the adult SEZ …

Ramadan Observance during Pregnancy in Germany: a Challenge for Prenatal Care.

2018

Abstract Introduction Fasting during Ramadan while pregnant has been shown to have long-term negative effects on the offspringʼs physical and cognitive health. Even though most Muslims do not believe pregnant women are obligated to fast during Ramadan, fasting rates of up to 87% have been reported for pregnant women. No data exists to date about Ramadan adherence and behavior in Germany. Methods The Mainz Study of Ramadan and Pregnancy surveyed pregnant Muslims and new Muslim mothers in Mainz between October 2016 and January 2017 and collected information on Ramadan adherence and behavior. We also collected data on personal characteristics and opinions, to identify determinants of fasting u…

Perampanel and Visuospatial Skills in Children With Epilepsy

2021

Introduction: Perampanel (PER) is a non-competitive AMPA glutamate receptor antagonist approved for focal and generalized seizures as add-on therapy. PER does not seem to negatively affect the cognitive profile in children and adolescents, but its influence on visuospatial abilities is still to be assessed. The aim of our study was to assess visuospatial skills through a standardized neuropsychological evaluation in adolescents taking PER for 12 months.Methods: Our sample included 46 adolescents aged 12–18 years with focal and generalized drug-resistant epilepsy already in therapy with one or two antiseizure medications. Changes in visuospatial perception and memory were assessed by the Rey…
