amobarbital and Brain Neoplasms

amobarbital has been researched along with Brain Neoplasms in 23 studies

Amobarbital: A barbiturate with hypnotic and sedative properties (but not antianxiety). Adverse effects are mainly a consequence of dose-related CNS depression and the risk of dependence with continued use is high. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p565)
amobarbital : A member of the class of barbiturates that is pyrimidine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-trione substituted by a 3-methylbutyl and an ethyl group at position 5. Amobarbital has been shown to exhibit sedative and hypnotic properties.

Brain Neoplasms: Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In presurgical assessment of epilepsy, the intracarotid amobarbital procedure (IAP) is used for the detection of functional asymmetries of the cerebral hemispheres with respect to cognitive functions."4.78[The intra-carotid amobarbital test--indications--procedure--results]. ( Kurthen, M, 1992)
"The goal of this study was to explore the relationship between language and memory lateralization in patients with epilepsy undergoing the intracarotid amobarbital procedure."3.75Memory performance is related to language dominance as determined by the intracarotid amobarbital procedure. ( Alexopoulos, AV; Kovac, S; Lineweaver, T; Loddenkemper, T; Möddel, G; Reinholz, J; Schuele, SU; Syed, T, 2009)
"Fifty-five percent had a history of febrile seizures."2.69Presurgical evaluation and surgical outcome of temporal lobe epilepsy. ( Asconape, J; Azzarelli, B; Garg, B; Hutchins, GD; Markand, O; Park, HM; Patel, H; Salanova, V; Smith, R; Worth, R, 1999)
"Propofol has been suggested as an alternative to amobarbital, and while there is some published data on this, there is no reported Australian experience to date."2.52Propofol as a substitute for amobarbital in Wada testing. ( Bynevelt, M; Chiu, AH; Lawn, N; Lee, G; Singh, TP, 2015)
"Twenty-nine patients had auras and 20 had secondarily generalized seizures."1.30Ganglioglioma and intractable epilepsy: clinical and neurophysiologic features and predictors of outcome after surgery. ( Comair, YG; Estes, ML; Kotagal, P; Matkovic, Z; Morris, HH; Najm, I; Prayson, RA; Turnbull, J; Wyllie, E, 1998)
