thiamine/infarction

Objective: Reduced thiamine (vitamin B₁ ) had been reported to be associated with cognitive impairment caused by Alzheimer disease. Our study is to explore the association between thiamine and cognitive impairment after acute

Thiamine deficiency classically manifests as the triad of Wernicke encephalopathy: acute confusional state, ataxic gait, and ocular motor dysfunction. However, most patients do no present with this classic triad. Optic neuropathy in thiamine deficiency is a rare manifestation and is usually

Dietary thiamine deficiency, enhanced by pyrithiamine administration in adult rats, produces overt lesions in the brain that are especially prominent in the thalamus. The present study was undertaken to determine whether the thalamic lesions could be correlated with alterations in the physiological

The heterozygous state of the sickle cell trait is not known to be a cause of fetal death. This is a report of disseminated placental infarcts associated with thiamine deficiency in a patient with the sickle cell trait. This pathological association suggests an original physiopathological process.

OBJECTIVE To determine whether furosemide treatment in congestive heart failure (CHF) patients is associated with thiamine deficiency. METHODS Patients without heart failure and without diuretic treatment were included to compare with patients with CHF belonging to New York Heart Association (NYHA)

BACKGROUND Dietary supplements are widely used in industrialized countries. OBJECTIVE The objective was to examine the association between multivitamin use and myocardial infarction (MI) in a prospective, population-based cohort of women. METHODS The study included 31,671 women with no history of

Heart infarction is one of the main causes of death in the human population. Assurance of a sufficient level of bioenergetic processes is very important for the heart after infarction. Mn2+ as well as thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) are positive effectors of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDH) and

Cocarboxylase, or thiamine pyrophosphate, is an essential coenzyme in the catabolism of pyruvate. The authors evaluated the effects of a stable cocarboxylase solution in the treatment of an experimentally created acute myocardial infarction in 14 healthy mongrel dogs. The left anterior descending

Thiamine administration (200 mg/kg 2 hours before start of the experiment) substantially reduced the myocardial ischaemic lesion in a model of experimental myocardial infarction in the rat. As shown by stereometric analysis of histological heart preparations, the cytoprotective action of vitamin B1

Bilateral paramedian thalamic infarction is rare. The suggested mechanism is occlusion of a central unpaired thalamic perforating artery--an anatomic variant. In the few existing reports of this condition, the diagnosis was based on computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
