Theophylline-associated convulsions have been observed most frequently in children with fever, but the mechanism is not fully understood. In this study, we investigated the basic mechanism of aminophylline [theophylline-2-ethylenediamine]-induced convulsions and the effects of Brewer's yeast-induced
Fifty hospitalized children with asthmatic bronchitis and bronchial asthma were treated with a continuous intravenous drip infusion of aminophylline. To investigate the pharmacokinetics of theophylline in the presence of pyrexia, patients were divided into two groups based on body temperature: a
Theophylline-associated convulsions are frequently exacerbated by fever, but the mechanisms behind it are still not completely understood. We investigated whether N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) and gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors are involved in aminophylline
The changes in rectal temperature, metabolic rate, cutaneous temperatures and respiratory evaporative heat loss produced by an injection of a bacterial endotoxin piromen (4-40 ng in 1 microliter) into the anterior hypothalamus were assessed in conscious rats in both sexes from a wide range of body
Previous studies indicated that several cytokines influenced the seizure propensity in convulsive disorders and were the cause of encephalopathies in childhood. We studied the role of one inflammatory cytokine, interleukin-6 (IL-6), in hyperthermia-induced seizures in developing rats. Twenty-four
A field trial was conducted to determine the efficacy of theophylline in relieving respiratory distress associated with bovine respiratory disease complex (shipping fever). Theophylline (as aminophylline capsules) was administered PO at a dosage of 28 mg/kg of body weight daily for 3 days to 20
The purpose of this study is to determine whether theophylline provides clinical benefits in the hospitalized children with asthma attack. Aminophylline was intravenously given to the 50 patients (Group A) who were admitted 1994. A small dose of aminophylline compared to that of Group A was given to
1. Chronic obstructive airways disease is a term which should be reserved for those who have objective evidence of airways obstruction and who do not improve significantly with bronchodilators or steroids. All patients should have a trial of aggressive treatment with these drugs in case they have
Elevated serum levels of theophylline, a first-line anti-asthma drug, are sometimes associated with febrile respiratory infection (FRI). Although it seems to be wellknown, conflicting reports still appear in journals. We studied retrospectively theophylline clearance (th-cl) in 74 episodes of acute
Xiao Er Ke Chuan Ling Oral Liquid (KCL) is a Chinese herbal preparation consisted of 10 herbs such as Prunus armeniacae, Scutelaria baicalensis, Lonicera japonica etc. 30 children suffering from bronchopneumonia and/or acute bronchitis were treated with KCL (treated group) and another 30 cases were
The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence, clinical patterns and treatment of asthma in a well-defined area near the North East Italian border (Province of Trieste, 212 kmq, 30,000 inhabitants aged 0-15 years), served by only one children's hospital. The study was carried out from January
We investigated the mechanisms of action of Gnaphalium liebmannii which is used as a folk medicine in México for treating various respiratory diseases such as gripe, fever, asthma, cough, cold, bronchitis, expectorating, and bronchial affections. The tension changes of guinea pig tracheal segments
Isoflurane is generally considered to prevent increase in bronchomotor tone. We report a case of bronchospasm associated with exposure to isoflurane. A 11-year-old girl was scheduled for tonsillectomy because of repeated fever. Anesthesia was induced with nitrous oxide, oxygen and sevoflurane.
A 36-year-old man with a history of asthma visited an outpatient clinic complaining of high fever and general fatigue, and was diagnosed as having influenza type A by influenza antigen test. Laboratory findings revealed mild inflammation, mild acidemia, and hypercapnea with radiologic infiltrations
