To provide a neurochemical basis for the central nervous system actions of nitrous oxide, the changes of brain dopamine (DA), serotonin (5-HT), norepinephrine (NE), and metabolites of DA and 5-HT were studied in rats. Thirty male Wistar rats were assigned to one of five groups according to the type

The aim of the study was to investigate the outcomes and prognostic factors of high-dose ¹³¹I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (¹³¹I-MIBG) therapy in patients with refractory or relapsed neuroblastoma (NBL) in Japan.

Levodopa, a dopamine precursor administered with a decarboxylase inhibitor, is the principal therapy for treating the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Unfortunately, after approximately 2-5 years, it frequently loses its beneficial effects as evidenced by motor fluctuations. Entacapone (Comtan) is a

We investigated clinical response and pharmacokinetics of levodopa when entacapone, a catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitor, was administered concomitantly with either a standard (Std) or a controlled-release (CR) levodopa/carbidopa preparation to 12 patients with Parkinson's disease. An

Ten patients with severe dementia due to Alzheimer's disease (AD) or multi-infarct dementia (MID) or both, were treated with the precursor amino acids of the neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine. The precursor amino acids (PAA) were given orally in a preparation that included tyrosine (4 gm

Nine patients with Parkinsonism were studied before and after treatment with piribedil, a dopamine-receptor stimulator. Piribedil appeared to have a slight anti-Parkinsonism effect upon bradykinesia, and possibly upon tremor, but did not improve rigidity. The chief toxic effects were drowsiness and

When human divers and experimental animals are exposed to high pressure of helium-oxygen mixture, they develop the high pressure neurological syndrome, characterized by nausea, vertigo, tremor, myoclonus, EEG modifications and convulsions. Free-moving rats were stereotaxically implanted in the

Oseltamivir (Tamiflu), a neuraminidase inhibitor, is effective for treating both seasonal flu and H5N1 influenza A virus infection. Oseltamivir is generally well tolerated, and its most common adverse effects are nausea and vomiting. However, neuropsychiatric behaviors including jumping and falling
