Neuroprotective effects of minocycline and progesterone on white matter injury after focal cerebral ischemia
Publication date: Available online 22 April 2019Source: Journal of Clinical NeuroscienceAuthor(s): Heba Faheem, Ahmed Mansour, Alaa Elkordy, Sherif Rashad, Mohamed Shebl, Mohamed Madi, Salma Elwy, Kuniyasu Niizuma, Teiji TominagaAbstractStroke induced white matter injury can induce marked neurological deficits even after relatively small infarcts, due to the tightly packed nature of white matter tracts especially in certain areas in the brain. Many drugs which were successful in the pre-clinical trials failed in clinical trials, which was attributed in part to the focus on grey matter injury completely and ignoring their e...

Minocycline-induced polyarteritis nodosa-like vasculitis presenting as brainstem stroke
This report shows that ischemic strokes may occur as a result of minocycline-induced vasculitis. While this is likely a rare association, recognition is important given the widespread use of minocycline and the potential for devastating consequences in a young population. Consequently, drug-induced vasculitis should be considered in patients with an ischemic stroke taking minocycline.
