A case of drug-induced metabolic encephalopathy presenting to the stroke unit (P3.282)
Conclusions:This highly unusual case of acute drug-induced encephalopathy with profound thyrotoxicosis presents as a stroke-mimic. Cannabinoids are more typically associated with reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome which was not present here illustrating an important point that there is much less certainty about the actual content of recreational drugs with the advent of ‘legal-highs’. We speculate as to whether his neurological presentation and thyrotoxicosis are related to his drug use or he has in fact two separate insults to his brain.Study Supported by: Not applicableDisclosure: Dr. Maduakor has ...

New recommendations aim to improve safety of pain-relieving spinal steroid injections
More and more people are seeking injections of anti-inflammatory steroid medications for back and neck pain. In 2011, the last year for which complete information is available, doctors pushed the plunger on 2.3 million steroid injections into the spine — and that’s just among people covered by Medicare.
These injections deliver drugs that mimic the effects of two hormones, cortisone and hydrocortisone, to reduce inflammation and help relieve pain. When they work — they don’t always — such injections can bring profound relief.
“If you are in severe pain with a ruptured spinal disc and you get a stero...

Ischemia/reperfusion-induced upregulation of TIGAR in brain is mediated by SP1 and modulated by ROS and hormones involved in glucose metabolism
Publication date: Available online 4 November 2014 Source:Neurochemistry International Author(s): Meiling Sun , Mei Li , Qiao Huang , Feng Han , Jin-hua Gu , Jiaming Xie , Rong Han , Zheng-Hong Qin , Zhipeng Zhou We previously found that TIGAR (TP53-induced glycolysis and apoptosis regulator) was upregulated in response to ischemia/reperfusion insult in a TP53-independent manner. The present study sought to investigate the regulatory mechanisms of TIGAR upregulation in animal and cellular models of stroke. The animal and cellular models of ischemia/reperfusion were produced by transient middle cerebral artery occlusion a...

Cerebral Vasoconstriction Triggered By Sympathomimetic Drugs During Intra-atrerial Chemotherapy
In this report, we highlight the potential risk of reversible cerebral vasoconstriction in children administered vasoactive drugs and discuss its relevance during treatment of retinoblastoma by intraarterial chemotherapy.
