The incidence of SIADH (the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion) was analyzed retrospectively in 43 children who received marrow-ablative chemotherapy before autografts with peripheral blood stem cells for lymphoid malignancies. SIADH was documented in three children (ages 3,
OBJECTIVE
Because small quantities of x-ray contrast agents can cross the blood-brain barrier, the authors evaluate the properties that contribute to neurotoxicity.
METHODS
The acute toxicity of various monomer and dimer contrast media was assessed after intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection to
BACKGROUND
Adult-onset type II citrullinemia (CTLN2) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations of SLC25A13 gene encoding citrin and is characterized by recurrent encephalopathy with hyperammonemia. Factors affecting disease progression remain unknown. We report a case with CTLN2, whose
Little is known about the cerebral distribution and clearance of guanidinoacetate (GAA), the accumulation of which induces convulsions. The purpose of the present study was to identify creatine transporter (CRT)-mediated GAA transport and to clarify its cerebral expression and role in GAA efflux
Intoxication with gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) is associated with coma, seizure, and death; treatment of overdoses is symptomatic. The objectives of this investigation were to characterize the renal clearance and total clearance of GHB in rats and to evaluate potential strategies for increasing
