1. The Effects of Riluzole on Cisplatin-induced Ototoxicity
Abstract Introduction Riluzole (2-amino-6-trifluoromethoxy benzothiazole) is known as a neuroprotective, antioxidant, antiapoptotic agent. It may have beneficial effects on neuronal cell death due to cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. Objective To evaluate the effect of riluzole on cisplatin-induced ototoxicity in guinea pigs. Methods Twenty-four guinea pi

2. Nervous form of listeriosis in buffaloes
RESUMO: A listeriose é uma doença que afeta várias espécies animais, incluindo o homem, e possui três formas diferentes de apresentação: nervosa, abortiva ou septicêmica. A forma nervosa é causada principalmente pela bactéria Listeria monocytogenes. No Brasil a doença já foi descrita em bovinos, ovinos e caprinos, mas não foram encontrados relat

3. Intermitências da morte: redefinições do ser humano na difusão da morte cerebral como fato médico
Este artigo apresenta diferentes definições de morte cerebral, resgatando parte do processo de sua construção como fato médico. Desde o final dos anos 1960, quando foi publicada em importante veículo de divulgação científica da comunidade médica, o Journal of the American Medical Association, a definição de morte cerebral suscitou adesões e cont

4. Non heart-beating donors in England
When transplantation started all organs were retrieved from patients immediately after cardio-respiratory arrest, i.e. from nonheart-beating donors. After the recognition that death resulted from irreversible damage to the brainstem, organ retrieval rapidly switched to patients certified dead after brainstem testing. These heart-beating-donors have become th

5. Estudo do reflexo vestíbulo-ocular (RVO) Prova Calórica (PC) no diagnóstico de morte encefálica
The revision of the death concept, based on the concept of brain death became necessary as a consequence of the scientific evolution and the development of the medical sciences. However the major cause of impacts and fomentations of ethical challenges in the scientific community was the fact of the growing need for organs transplants, forcing the creation of

6. Imidazoline receptors in the heart: a novel target and a novel mechanism of action that involves atrial natriuretic peptides
Chronic stimulation of sympathetic nervous activity contributes to the development and maintenance of hypertension, leading to left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), arrhythmias and cardiac death. Moxonidine, an imidazoline antihypertensive compound that preferentially activates imidazoline receptors in brainstem rostroventrolateral medulla, suppresses sympathe

7. Pneumothorax and pneumoperitoneum during the apnea test: how safe is this procedure?
Apnea test is a crucial requirement for determining the diagnosis of brain death (BD). There are few reports considering clinical complications during this procedure. We describe a major complication during performing the apnea test. We also analyse their practical and legal implications, and review the complications of this procedure in the literature. A 54

8. Primary brainstem death: a clinico-pathological study.
A case of primary brainstem death in a man with surgically treated cerebellar haemorrhage is reported. Necropsy revealed extensive necrosis confined to the brainstem and cerebellum. The absence of diabetes insipidus and the persistence of electroencephalographic activity were the characteristic clinical features of the case. This differentiates the condition

9. Prognosis of deeply comatose patients on ventilators.
Although the concept of brain death has been widely accepted, the criteria required for making the diagnosis remain controversial. This prospective study was undertaken to examine the reliability of a set of clinical criteria adopted in Taiwan. One hundred and forty deeply comatose patients (101 men, 39 women; mean age 49.5 (SD 17.6) years) requiring ventila

10. Suppression of brainstem reflexes in barbiturate coma.
Brainstem reflexes were examined in 23 children treated with thiopentone infusion and correlated with serum thiopentone concentrations. The results suggest that if all brainstem reflexes are lost with a serum thiopentone concentration less than 40 mg/l, it is unlikely to be due to the thiopentone alone. Other causes including brain death need to be considere

12. Sudden infant death and cytomegalovirus inclusion disease.
Four infants, apparently thriving and without clinical evidence of disease, died suddenly at ages ranging from 2 to 6 months. Inclusions bearing cells pathognomonic of cytomegalovirus infection were shown microscopically in a small number of extraneural organs. In view of the lack of associated tissue destruction on microscopy and the apparent well being of
