BACKGROUND
A 51-year-old woman experienced refractory chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in spite of extensive antiemetic therapy, including 5-HT3 antagonists, corticosteroids, dopamine antagonists and antihistamines.
METHODS
We administered the patient clonazepam. After taking
Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is one of the most common symptoms feared by patients, but may be prevented or lessened with appropriate medications. Several antiemetic options exist to manage CINV. Corticosteroids, serotonin receptor antagonists, and neurokinin receptor antagonists
Eleven substituted 8-amino-3-benzyl-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a] pyrazines were synthesized and tested for anticonvulsant activity against maximal electroshock-induced seizures (MES) in rats. The compounds were prepared in four stages from the phenylacetonitriles. I. The intermediate
OBJECTIVE
Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is a distressing chemotherapy-induced symptom that may adversely impact the quality of life of cancer patients.
METHODS
We conducted a systematic search of the Pubmed, Bireme, and Cochrane databases for randomized clinical trials that were
OBJECTIVE
One of my pediatric patients was diagnosed with cyclic vomiting syndrome, and the parents are understandably frustrated with the recurrent yet unpredictable episodes that control and disrupt their family life. Are there any effective treatments for this condition?
CONCLUSIONS
There is
BACKGROUND
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is frequently encountered in the surgical recovery room. Abdominal surgery is one important risk factor for increased incidence of PONV. Gabapentin, an anticonvulsant with known postoperative analgesic properties, has shown some activity against
As a drug originally introduced for its anticonvulsant effects, gabapentin has been recently shown to be effective in the treatment of nausea and vomiting in various clinical settings. This study compared the antiemetic efficacy of oral gabapentin, intravenous ramosetron and gabapentin plus
OBJECTIVE
Nausea and vomiting are major inconveniences for patients undergoing chemotherapy. Despite standard preventive treatment, chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) still occurs in approximately 50% of these patients. In an attempt to optimize this treatment, we evaluated the possible
Animal experimental studies conducted at the turn of the century resulted in the use of magnesium sulphate as an anticonvulsant in humans. In U.S. clinics, parenteral administration of magnesium sulphate became a routine procedure in the treatment of eclampsia and pre-eclampsia. This treatment has
Children with seizure disorders frequently are treated with anticonvulsant medications such as clonazepam, valproic acid, carbamazepine, and ethosuximide, which cannot be given parenterally. When the child is unable to take these anticonvulsants orally, he or she may be given parenteral doses of
Anticonvulsant hypersensitivity syndrome (ACHSS) is rare and defined by a group of systemic symptoms: a typical clinical triad with skin rash, high fever and lymphadenopathy, with or without multiple organ dysfunctions. Its variable presentation renders diagnosis particularly difficult yet
OBJECTIVE
To present a new case of sclerosing peritonitis associated with bilateral luteinized thecoma of the ovaries, linked to anticonvulsant therapy.
METHODS
A 22-year-old patient, receiving carbamazepine for seizures and anxiety attacks presented with shortness of breath, abdominal pain, nausea
A series of (fluorobenzyl)triazolo[4,5-c]pyridines was synthesized and tested for activity against maximal electroshock-induced seizures in rodents. The most promising compound, 14 (BW 534U87), which is a carbon-nitrogen isoster of a purine anticonvulsant, has a profile in rodents that suggests 14
BACKGROUND
Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome (CVS) is a well-recognized functional gastrointestinal disorder in children but its presentation is poorly understood in adults. Genetic differences in pediatric-onset (presentation before age 18) and adult-onset CVS have been reported recently but their clinical
Cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) in children is characterized by frequent hospitalizations, multiple comorbidities, and poor quality of life. In the absence of robust data, the treatment of CVS remains largely empiric starting with the 2008 NASPGHAN Consensus Statement recommendations of
