The investigations have been performed on Wistar rats intoxicated with paraoxon in toxic sublethal doses. There have been measured the variations of rectal temperature at various time periods following the anticholinesterase agent. The authors established the pharmacodynamic correlations of paraoxon-induced hypothermia with cholinesterase reactivators (toxogonin, isonitrosine), anticholinergic substances (atropine, butylscopolamine), carbamic anticholinesterase (eserine, neoeserine) and chlorpromazine. The efficiency of atropine and cholinesterase reactivators in antagonization of hypothermia induced by organophosphorics on the one hand, and only of atropine against hypothermia induced by carbamates on the other hand allow the hypothesis of a central cholinergic mechanism, predominantly muscarinic, involved in hypothermia induced by anticholinesterasics and of a direct correlation of this mechanism with phosphorylation or carbamylation processes of cerebral cholinesterases.

Changes in the treatment and outcomes of different severities of neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy in California: a retrospective cohort study.

University of California, San Diego, Rady Children's Hospital of San Diego, La Jolla, CA, USA.
Objective: Evaluate the changes in management and outcomes of Californian infants with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE).
Study Design: Infants with HIE were identified from a California administrative birth cohort using ICD codes and divided into two epochs, Epoch 1 (2010-2015) and Epoch 2 (2016-2019). Risk ratios (RR) for induced hypothermia (IH) in each epoch and their outcomes were calculated using log-linear regression.
Mechanistic Insights into Melatonin's Antiarrhythmic Effects in Acute Ischemia-Reperfusion-Injured Rabbit Hearts Undergoing Therapeutic Hypothermia.

The electrophysiological mechanisms underlying melatonin's actions and the electrophysiological consequences of superimposed therapeutic hypothermia (TH) in preventing cardiac ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury-induced arrhythmias remain largely unknown. This study aimed to unveil these issues using acute IR-injured hearts. Rabbits were divided into heart failure (HF), HF+melatonin, control, and control+melatonin groups.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a debilitating disorder that can lead to life-long disability, with a high incidence in Saudi Arabia. Secondary epilepsy and cardiac complications are common in CP patients. We present a rare case of a 17-year-old female with CP, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), secondary epilepsy, and a history of post-cardiac arrest, with home medications carbamazepine, risperidone, and sodium valproate.

Methionine sulfoximine (MSO) is a compound originally discovered as a byproduct of agene-based milled flour maturation. MSO irreversibly inhibits the astrocytic enzyme glutamine synthase (GS) but also interferes with the transport of glutamine (Gln) and of glutamate (Glu), and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) synthesized within the Glu/Gln-GABA cycle, in this way dysregulating neurotransmission balance in favor of excitation. No wonder that intraperitoneal administration of MSO has long been known to induce behavioral and/or electrographic seizures.

To investigate the neuroprotective mechanism of mild hypothermia (MH) in ameliorating cerebral ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury. The Pulsinelli's four-vessel ligation method was utilized to establish a rat model of global cerebral IR injury. To investigate the role of S100A8 in MH treatment of cerebral IR injury, hippocampus-specific S100A8 loss or gain of function was achieved using an adeno-associated virus system.
