resin/seizures

A patient with chronic renal failure received sodium polystyrene sulfonate and magnesium hydroxide for the treatment of hyperkalemia. This combination therapy produced a severe metabolic alkalosis which, in the presence of the patient's chronic hypocalcemia, precipitated a grand mal seizure.

A high performance liquid chromatographic system is described for the separation of cannabinoids, which were detected by ultra-violet absorption at 220 nm. The identity of the cannabinoids was established by comparison of retention times with reference compounds, by simple chemical conversions to

Samples taken from 61 slabs of cannabis resin originating in The Lebanon were examined by high performance liquid chromatography. The slabs were derived from seizures of cannabis resin made over a three-year period. From a study of 14 of these samples, taken from bags which bore a number of

Ipomoea tyrianthina Lindley (syn. I. orizabensis Pelletan, Lebed. ex Steud., Convolvulaceae) is known as a purgative, but it has been also used in Mexican traditional medicine in the treatment of seizures and pain for their anticonvulsive, hypnotic and sedative properties. Some glycolipids isolated

OBJECTIVE To determine the delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content of cannabis seizures in Egypt. METHODS Unheated and heated extracts of cannabis seizures were prepared from the dried flowering tops and leaves (marijuana) or from the resin (hashish) and subjected to analysis using high

BACKGROUND The oleo gum resin of Gardenia lucida is commonly employed in traditional medicine to treat multiple ailments, including epilepsy and mania. The essential oil isolated from it was screened for CNS activities to check if it is responsible for the claims made regarding the traditional use

Seven new tetrasaccharide glycosides, tyrianthins 1-7 (1-7), along with six known glycolipids were isolated from the roots of Ipomoea tyrianthina, and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic and chemical methods. The content of resin glycosides in samples collected in three different

Stansin 6 a tetrasaccharide resin glycoside isolated from the root of Ipomoea stans was evaluated as anticonvulsant and neuroprotective in kainic acid-induced seizures of rats. Intraperitoneal injection of kainic acid (10 mg/kg) induced typical behavioral seizures such as wet dog shakes and limbic

The emergence of ambient ionization techniques and their combination with smaller, cheaper mass spectrometers is beginning to make real the possibility of mass spectrometry measurements being made routinely outside of traditional laboratory settings. Here, we describe the development of an

OBJECTIVE To describe the histopathological lesions of a new canine disease characterised by progressive ataxia, head tremor and seizures, and to deduce the cause of the lesions. METHODS Formalin-fixed tissues were processed into paraffin wax and epoxy resin for light and transmission electron

Enkephalin levels were measured in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of 17 patients with febrile convulsions and 11 control patients without a history of pain or convulsive disorders. Enkephalins were extracted from CSF by adsorption with synthetic resin XAD-2 eluted with methanol, and assayed using the

Acute hepatic failure develops as a disease entity of rather diverse origin. With disease progression, toxic bilirubin levels may cause severe complications which include AV-nodal blockage, cardiac arrhythmia, impaired consciousness, generalized seizures, and status epilepticus. Treatment choices to

A 66-year-old man with colorectal carcinoma and liver-only metastases underwent radioembolization using Y-loaded, resin-based microspheres. One day after radioembolization, the patient experienced severe hypertension and multiple seizures. On MRI, symmetric edematous areas in the cerebellum and the
