Journal ArticleDOI
Propofol anticonvulsant activity in experimental epileptic status
P.L. De Riu,V. Petruzzi,C. Testa,M. Mulas,F. Melis,Marcello Alessandro Caria,Ombretta Mameli +6 more
TL;DR: Propofol may be a potentially useful drug in status epilepticus in patients in whom benzodiazepines, barbiturates and phenytoin have failed, and there was no close relationship between blood concentration of the anaesthetic and its clinical effects, after a short-term infusion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anatomo-Physiologic Basis for Auricular Stimulation.
TL;DR: Accumulating evidence suggests that VNS and TNS share multiple levels and mechanisms of action in the central nervous system, however, the sites and neurobiologic mechanisms by which they produce their therapeutic effects are not clear yet.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurogenic myocardial arrhythmias in experimental focal epilepsy.
P. Mameli,Ombretta Mameli,Eusebio Tolu,G. Padua,D. Giraudi,Marcello Alessandro Caria,F. Melis +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that during paroxysmal hypothalamic activity the observed cardiac arrhythmias and the hemodynamic modifications were neurogenic in origin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Autonomic nervous system activity and life threatening arrhythmias in experimental epilepsy
TL;DR: These experiments suggest that fatal evolution of the heart impairment is related not only to an autonomic cardiac trigger, but also to a concomitant metabolic derangement, which most likely shares the same autonomic origin.
Journal ArticleDOI
The brainstem cardioarrhythmogenic triggers and their possible role in sudden epileptic death.
TL;DR: Additional concomitances must be considered, such as metabolic derangement which can occur during seizures, to explain sudden death in epileptic patients, and some aspects of metabolic complications in cardiac activity during epilepsy are also discussed.
