amobarbital and Hemiplegia

amobarbital has been researched along with Hemiplegia in 13 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.

Hemiplegia: Severe or complete loss of motor function on one side of the body. This condition is usually caused by BRAIN DISEASES that are localized to the cerebral hemisphere opposite to the side of weakness. Less frequently, BRAIN STEM lesions; cervical SPINAL CORD DISEASES; PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES; and other conditions may manifest as hemiplegia. The term hemiparesis (see PARESIS) refers to mild to moderate weakness involving one side of the body.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The intracarotid amobarbital procedure (IAP) is an important part of comprehensive investigation of patients who are candidates for surgical treatment of epilepsy."5.11Etomidate speech and memory test (eSAM): a new drug and improved intracarotid procedure. ( Andermann, F; Angle, M; Djordjevic, J; Dubeau, F; Gotman, J; Jones-Gotman, M; Olivier, A; Sziklas, V; Tampieri, D, 2005)
"In a sample of 83 patients counterbalanced for side of temporal-lobe seizure focus, we examined unawareness of hemiplegia upon clearing of the deficit after bilateral sodium amobarbital injections."3.69Do intracarotid barbiturate injections offer a way to investigate hemispheric models of anosognosia? ( Dywan, CA; Fox, A; McGlone, J, 1995)
"Data on handedness and speech lateralization in patients selected for amobarbital studies have frequently been extrapolated to the normal population, despite the high frequency of brain injuries which might alter lateralization in these patients."3.67Brain injury, handedness, and speech lateralization in a series of amobarbital studies. ( Dodrill, CB; Ojemann, GA; Woods, RP, 1988)
