anticholinergic/hemorrhage

Experiments were carried out in albino rats to find out the effect of propranolol, priscol and atropine on post-hemorrhagic erythropoiesis. Administration of either propranolol or priscol decreased reticulocyte response following hemorrhage, whereas administration of atropine produced no change. The

The pathogenesis of delirium in acute stroke is incompletely understood. The use of medications with anticholinergic (ACH) activity is associated with an increased frequency of delirium. We hypothesized that the intake of medications with ACH activity is associated with delirium in acute stroke

We have recently demonstrated that acrylonitrile (VCN) causes acute gastric hemorrhage and mucosal erosions. The current studies were undertaken to investigate the effects of the sulfhydryl-containing compounds, cysteine and cysteamine, the cholinergic blocking agent atropine and the histamine H2

Histamine, acting centrally as a neurotransmitter, evokes a reversal of haemorrhagic shock in rats due to the activation of the sympathetic and the renin-angiotensin systems as well as the release of arginine vasopressin and proopiomelanocortin-derived peptides. In the present study, we demonstrate

The central anticholinergic syndrome (CAS) includes central signs (somnolence, confusion, amnesia, agitation, hallucinations, dysarthria, ataxia, delirium, stupor, coma) and peripheral signs (dry mouth, dry skin, tachycardia, visual disturbances and difficulty in micturition). It occurs when central

1. The regulation of the splenic perfusion during normal and pathological conditions is incompletely understood. We studied the time course of splenic blood flow during the initial (0-24 h) development of haemorrhagic anaemia in awake and anaesthetized rats, as well as in awake rabbits and cats.

BACKGROUND The aim of this paper is to underline the need for systematic monitoring of patients treated with anticholinergic antipsychotic drugs. We present the clinical history of a 34-year-old adult, treated with quetiapine in combination with other drugs with anticholinergic effects. METHODS A

Cyclopentolate is a synthetic anti-cholinergic agent widely used in ophthalmology clinics. It can cause cardiovascular side-effects such as hypertension, ventricular arrhythmias and tachycardias. A 55-year-old male lost his consciousness after topical cyclopentolate hydrocloride (1%) administration

In 102 cases with massive upper digestive hemorrhage, the method of immediate endoscopic diagnosis was used. From these 79 were selected which permitted an integral analysis. Upon the patient's gastric pumping with iced water was effected, and then emergency esophago-gastro-duodenoscopy was

OBJECTIVE Although cognitive impairments have been observed after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), little is known about their neurobiological bases. To examine cholinergic function in such patients, we used a known test for Alzheimer's disease based on an exaggerated pupil dilation response to a

The effectiveness of the anticholinergic, propantheline bromide, administered parenterally in patients with upper gastro-intestinal bleeding has been investigated in a double-blind study. The basic material consisted of 99 patients. No differences were found between the group receiving propantheline

In a model developed to study acute pancreatitis in the dog, the disease process was comparable with the spontaneously occurring disease. Infusion of oleic acid into the accessory pancreatic duct induced, grossly and microscopically, acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis with pancreatic atrophy, fibrosis,
