Anti–Inflammatory Activity in Human Skin: It Prevents Edema Formation in vitro
1999
The Role of Monoamines in the Development of Cold-Induced Edema
1976
Our results show that even the experimentally induced high concentrations of exogenous 5-HT in the brain tissue during the early phase of edema formation are not able to increase the amount of fluid accumulation in the normal and injured brain tissue. The changes of the endogenous 5-HT levels in the blood and the brain tissue result in similar hemispheric water and RISA differences between the injured and uninjured half of the brain. Moreover, 5-HT concentrations elevated by 100% failed to produce detectable edema in the normal brain tissue of the rat.
The Influence of Systemic Hypertension on Intracranial Pressure and Edema Formation in Experimental Intracerebral Hemorrhage
1986
Systemic hypertension is not only the most frequent cause of intracerebral hemorrhage but also the most important complication of this disease. In our clinical investigation of 117 cases almost 70% of the patients suffered from systemic hypertension. Despite advances in diagnosis (Schiirmann, Dei Anang, 1980) mortality of hypertensive patients was 48%. Normotensive hemorrhages showed a better prognosis: only 31% of the patients died and 33% (17% in hypertensive patients) obtained good neurological recovery (Wallenfang et al., 1985).
