Background N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists are neuroprotective in animal models of cerebral ischemia, but adverse cardiovascular and neurobehavioral effects have precluded their clinical use. The authors present the neuroprotective,

Two brain-specific proteins, S-100beta and neuron-specific enolase (NSE), are released systemically after cerebral lesions, but S-100beta levels sometimes rise in the absence of neuronal damage. We hypothesized that S-100beta is a marker of blood-bra

Background and Objectives: Ketamine is opioid-sparing. It attenuates the onset of opioid tolerance, and suppresses opioid-induced hyperalgesia. This study evaluated whether or not repeated outpatient infusions of intravenous ketamine reduced the amou

Loss of blood-brain barrier (BBB) function may contribute to post-ischemic cerebral injury by yet unknown mechanisms. Ischemia is associated with anoxia, aglycemia and loss of flow (i.e. shearing forces). We tested the hypothesis that loss of shear s
