Abstract  Viral infections of the pediatric central nervous system (CNS) encompass a broad spectrum of both perinatally and postnatally
acquired diseases with potentially devastating effects on the developing brain. In children, viral infections have been associated
with chronic encephalopathy, encephalitis, demyelinating disease, tumors, and epilepsy. Older diagnostic techniques of biopsy,
viral culture, electron microscopy, gel-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and viral titer quantification are being replaced
with more rapid, sensitive, and specific real-time and microarray-based PCR technologies. Advances in neuroimaging technologies
have provided for earlier recognition of CNS injury without elucidation …

When aripiprazole (ABILIFY(R)) received its approval in Germany for the treatment of schizophrenia, a hospital-based postmarketing surveillance study was initiated in order to gain further insights concerning safety and efficacy of the antipsychotic under real-life conditions. Efficacy was rated by using standard CGI, GAF, and SF-12 instruments, whereas safety was evaluated according to the reports on adverse effects. Data from 799 patients with schizophrenia from 122 psychiatric hospitals returned for evaluation. Eighty …

Cyclooxygenase (COX) is a critical enzyme in prostaglandin biosynthesis that modulates a wide range of biological functions, such as pain, fever, and so on. To perform in vivo COX imaging by positron emission tomography (PET), we developed a method to incorporate (11)C radionuclide into various 2-arylpropionic acids that have a common methylated structure, particularly among nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Thus, we developed a novel (11)C-radiolabeling methodology based on …

In conclusion, piperine significantly enhanced the oral exposure of fexofenadine in rats likely by the inhibition of P-glycoprotein-mediated cellular efflux during the intestinal absorption, suggesting that the combined use of piperine or piperine-containing diet with fexofenadine may require close monitoring for potential drug[ndash]diet interactions.

The 5-HT(3) antagonists tropisetron and granisetron have been shown to block the analgesic effect of acetaminophen in healthy volunteers. To study the interaction between ondansetron and acetaminophen in women undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy, we randomized 134 patients into three groups to receive acetaminophen-placebo (AP), acetaminophen-ondansetron (AO), or placebo-placebo (PP). One gram of intravenous acetaminophen or placebo was administered at the induction of anesthesia and every 6 h thereafter for 24 h, and 4 mg of ondansetron or …
