The tof-guard neuromuscular transmission monitor and its use in horses
(Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM), 1999-03-01)
Quando da utilização de bloqueadores neuromusculares, já foi enfatizado na literatura médica humana, que é de vital imporância a monitoração do bloqueio neuromuscular e que estes agentes nunca devem ser utilizados sem a ...
The extract of the jellyfish Phyllorhiza punctata promotes neurotoxic effects
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011-11-01)
Phyllorhiza punctata (P. punctata) is a jellyfish native to the southwestern Pacific. Herewith we present the biochemical and pharmacological characterization of an extract of the tentacles of P. punctata. The tentacles ...
Impact of sustained neuromuscular blockade on outcome of mechanically ventilated children
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2010-06-01)
Background:Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA) are commonly administered to critically ill children in pediatric intensive care units (PICU) in the USA and Europe. Although NMBA are frequently used in PICU patients, their ...
Influence of temperature upon effects of crotoxin and gamma-irradiated crotoxin at rat neuromuscular transmission
(Elsevier B.V., 2000-04-03)
The influence of temperature upon the effects of crotoxin (CTX)? from Crotalus durissus terrificus venom, and gamma-irradiated (Co-60, 2000 Gy) crotoxin (iCTX) was studied in rat neuromuscular transmission 'in vitro'. ...
Mechanism of neuromuscular blockade induced by phenthonium, a quaternary derivative of (-)-hyoscyamine, in skeletal muscles
(Stockton Press, 1998-07-01)
1 the mechanisms underlying the postjunctional blockade induced by phenthonium [N-(4-phenyl) phenacyl 1-hyoscyamine] were investigated in mammalian and amphibian muscles. This muscarinic antagonist was previously shown to ...
Neutralization of snake venom phospholipase A(2) toxins by aqueous extract of Casearia sylvestris (Flacourtiaceae) in mouse neuromuscular preparation
(Elsevier B.V., 2007-07-25)
Aqueous extract of Casearia sylvestris (Flacourtiaceae) has been shown to inhibit enzymatic and biological properties of some Bothrops and Crotalus venoms and their purified phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) toxins. In this work ...
Reduction of crotoxin-induced neuromuscular blockade by gamma radiation
(Elsevier B.V., 1998-06-01)
A comparative study between crotoxin and gamma irradiated crotoxin was performed on the indirectly evoked twitches and tetani of sciatic nerve-extensor digitorum longus muscle of rats. Crotoxin (3 to 14 mu g/ml) decreased ...
Understanding the in vitro neuromuscular activity of snake venom Lys49 phospholipase A(2) homologues
(Pergamon-Elsevier B.V. Ltd, 2010-01-01)
Phospholipases A(2) (PLA(2)s) with a lysine substituting for the highly conserved aspartate 49, Lys49 PLA(2) homologues, are important myotoxic components in venoms from snakes of Viperidae family. These proteins induce ...
Anestesia peribulbar com ropivacaína como alternativa ao bloqueio neuromuscular para facectomia em cães
(Arquivo Brasileiro Medicina Veterinaria Zootecnia, 2010-06-01)
A peribulbar block technique was developed and its clinical efficacy was compared with neuromuscular blockade in dogs undergoing cataract surgery. Twelve dogs of different breeds were randomly and equally allocated in two ...
