WadaInjectionProcedureBrain
Wada3
  • The intracarotid sodium amytal procedure (the "Wada test") has for many years been the gold standard for language and memory lateralization and remains an important part of presurgical analysis for patients with medically intractable seizures. (nih.gov)
  • The book also details the role of neuropsychology within the epilepsy surgery process including pre-and post-surgery cognitive evaluations, cortical stimulation mapping, functional neuroimaging, and intracarotid amobarbital (Wada) procedures and reviews the major surgical treatment options used in the intractable epilepsies. (theaacn.org)
  • BACKGROUND: In the Wada test, one hemisphere is selectively anaesthetised by unilateral intracarotid injection of a fast-acting anaesthetic agent. (bvsalud.org)
Injection4
  • Rats were subjected to 1-h intraluminal middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and received an intracarotid injection of GM-CSF (5 ng) or saline immediately after reperfusion. (elsevierpure.com)
  • An intracarotid injection of GM-CSF reduced the infarct volume and improved neurological function at 48 h after reperfusion. (elsevierpure.com)
  • These results suggest that intracarotid injection of GM-CSF may have a therapeutic effect on brain ischemia via activation of microglia/macrophages. (elsevierpure.com)
  • Fifteen s after intracarotid injection, brain 203Hg concentration was significantly increased in animals injected with 0.05 mM [203Hg]MeHgCl plus 0.1 mM L-cysteine compared with controls (P less than 0.05). (nih.gov)
Procedure2
  • The duration of the drug effect during the intracarotid amobarbital procedure (IAP) is an important factor when considering the prioritization of behavioral testing during the IAP. (nih.gov)
  • The goal of the current study was to examine the dynamics of language lateralization using magnetoencephalographic (MEG) imaging, to determine the sensitivity and specificity of MEG imaging, and to determine whether MEG imaging can become a viable alternative to the intracarotid amobarbital procedure (IAP), the current gold standard for preoperative language lateralization in neurosurgical candidates.

  • 5. Intracarotid chemotherapy with etoposide and cisplatin for malignant brain tumors. (nih.gov)
