Takotsubo syndrome after nimodipine-induced hypotension treated with norepinephrine in a female with subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Unlabelled: The prevalence of takotsubo syndrome (TTS) in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is much higher than in the general population. Clinical and experimental observations confirm secondary to brain damage catecholamine-mediated cardiac injury resulting in reversible left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. However, other triggers can also be involved in TTS development e.

Promising human brain tumors therapy with interference RNA intervention (iRNAi).

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common type of malignant gliomas, characterized by genetic instability, intratumoral histopathological variability and unpredictable clinical behavior. Disappointing results in the treatment of gliomas with surgery, radiation and chemotherapy have fuelled a search for new treatment modalities. Malignant gliomas express preferentially a number of surface markers that may be exploited as therapeutic targets, such as tenascin-C (TN-C), an extracellular matrix glycoprotein that contributes to tumor cell adhesion, invasion, migration and proliferation.
