Vasogenic Brain Edema Formation
Brain edema (BE) research lacks quantitative regional methods. We modified the method of Pappius and McCann (1969), who used radioactive iodinated P serum albumin (R1SA) as a label for vasogenic BE fluid. To correct for intravascular plasma volume we used Cr^ labelled red blood cells and calculated equivalent extravascular plasma volume (EVPV). The modified RISA method was compared with a stand...
متن کاملDiabetic Macular Edema Pathophysiology: Vasogenic versus Inflammatory
Diabetic macular edema (DME) can cause blindness in diabetic patients suffering from diabetic retinopathy (DR). DM parameters controls (glycemia, arterial tension, and lipids) are the gold standard for preventing DR and DME. Although the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is known to play a role in the development of DME, the pathological processes leading to the onset of this disease ar...
متن کاملMediators of blood-brain barrier dysfunction and formation of vasogenic brain edema.
The characteristics and mechanisms enabling the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to maintain the milieu of the brain have been reviewed in detail elsewhere (Banks and Kastin, 1987; Bradbury, 1985; Crone, 1986a, 1987; Cornford, 1985; Davson, 1976; Er misch et aI. , 1985; Fenstermacher, 1985; Gjedde, 1983; Goldstein and Betz, 1986; Meisenberg and Simmons, 1983; Oldendorf, 1974; Pardridge, 1983; Rapopor...
متن کاملSymmetrical 'vasogenic' brain oedema.
Low attenuation of the cerebral white matter occurs with oedema and demyelination. When unilateral or asymmetrical it is usually due to a tumour, granuloma or abscess. The nidus responsible for the vasogenic oedema can be demonstrated after contrast enhancement. Bilateral demyelination occurs especially with viral infections such as herpes simplex encephalitis and progressive multifocal leukoen...
متن کاملStroke in MELAS is a Vasogenic Edema and Not Ischemic
We read with interest the article by Almasi et al. on a 48 years old female patient with Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathy, Lactic Acidosis, And Stroke-like episodes (MELAS), diagnosed based on the clinical presentation, blood test results, and imaging and muscle biopsy findings . We have the following comments and concerns.
