homovanillic acid/hemorrhage

To ask if the determination of central-nervous-system-derived catecholamine metabolites in peripheral circulation could be a useful index of brain dysfunction after subarachnoid hemorrhage, 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylethyleneglycol and homovanillic acid concentrations in plasma, together with those of

The concentrations of the dopamine metabolite homovanillic acid (HVA), the serotonin metabolite 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) and the norepinephrine metabolite 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol (MOPEG) were determined in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH)

Homovanillic acid (HVA), 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) and tryptophan (TRP) were measured in the CSF obtained from the basal cistern of 20 patients, who had undergone surgical obliteration of bleeding aneurysms within 3 days after subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). The concentrations of these

We examined plasma catecholamines and monoaminergic metabolites (3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylethyleneglycol [MHPG], homovanillic acid [HVA], and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid) in patients with stroke successively up to three weeks after the initiation of symptoms. Plasma levels of free catecholamines were

Thirty-nine (39) patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) were studied with computed tomography (CT). The amount of blood in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and the degree of hydrocephalus were evaluated. These two parameters were correlated with the clinical condition on admission and at

The simultaneous measurement of homovanillic acid, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, serotonin and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid in human plasma by an ultrafiltration and microbore high-performance liquid chromatography-electrochemical detection technique is established. Conventional preparation of blood

This study investigated the relationships between blood pressure, cortical oxygen pressure, and extracellular striatal dopamine in the brain of adult cats during hemorrhagic hypotension and retransfusion. Oxygen pressure in the blood of the cortex was measured by the oxygen dependent quenching of

We investigated the function of monoaminergic neuron in the brainstem by measuring its metabolites using in vivo microdialysis following experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage in rats. Dialysis probe was implanted into the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) and continuous perfusion was then started. The

1. We investigated the function of monoaminergic neurons in the lower brain stem following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) induced in rats, by measuring monoamine metabolites, using in vivo microdialysis techniques. 2. A dialysis probe was implanted in the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) and the

Catecholamines and indolealkylamines are of clinical interest in neurological and psychiatric disorders. We measured 3-methoxy-DOPA, 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol, dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, tryptophan, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid and homovanillic acid in human cerebrospinal fluid with a simple,

A method for multicomponent analysis by single ion monitoring is presented. This method involves monitoring of one ion per selected compound in a GC run. To focus sequentially on each ion, the magnetic field strength of the mass spectrometer is manually reset to the proper value during the intervals

In the newborn, cystic masses of the adrenal gland are unusual findings and most are secondary to hemorrhage. We present a patient with a clinical history typical for adrenal hemorrhage who was found to have a thick walled cystic adrenal mass on both physical and ultrasound examination. During

OBJECTIVE To demonstrate that expectant observation of young infants with small adrenal masses would result in excellent event-free and overall survival. BACKGROUND Neuroblastoma is the most common malignant tumor in infants, and in young infants, 90% of neuroblastomas are located in the adrenal

Neonatal adrenal abscess is an extremely rare condition. 32 cases, 4 bilateral, have been described in the world literature. We treated successfully other two bilateral cases. We report on this rare condition and review the world literature. In our Department we observed two patients in the neonatal

Elucidation of the alterations of intracerebral neurotransmitters in cerebrovascular dementia is of prime importance not only in revealing patho-physiological mechanism but also in developing the therapy for the disease. We measured monoamine metabolites and norepinephrine (NE) in cerebrospinal
