creatine and Brain Abscess

creatine has been researched along with Brain Abscess in 8 studies

Brain Abscess: A circumscribed collection of purulent exudate in the brain, due to bacterial and other infections. The majority are caused by spread of infected material from a focus of suppuration elsewhere in the body, notably the PARANASAL SINUSES, middle ear (see EAR, MIDDLE); HEART (see also ENDOCARDITIS, BACTERIAL), and LUNG. Penetrating CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA and NEUROSURGICAL PROCEDURES may also be associated with this condition. Clinical manifestations include HEADACHE; SEIZURES; focal neurologic deficits; and alterations of consciousness. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp712-6)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" MRS of normal brain parenchyma displays 4 main metabolites: N-acetyl aspartate (neuronal marker), creatine (cellular density marker), choline (membrane activity marker) and myoinositol (glial marker); pathological processes lead to variations of the level of these metabolites and/or the appearance of abnormal metabolites (lactate), following different patterns according to pathological process involved: glioma, meningioma, metastasis, bacterial or toxoplasmic abscess, radionecrosis."3.71[Contribution of magnetic resonance spectrometry to the diagnosis of intracranial tumors]. ( Confort-Gouny, S; Cozzone, PJ; Dufour, H; Galanaud, D; Le Fur, Y; Nicoli, F; Peragut, JC; Ranjeva, JP; Roche, P; Viout, P, 2002)
" Non-neoplastic lesions such as cerebral infarctions and brain abscesses are marked by decreases in choline (Cho), creatine (Cr) and N-acetyl-aspartate (NAA), while tumours generally have elevated Cho and decreased levels of Cr and NAA."3.71Clinical application of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy in the diagnosis of intracranial mass lesions. ( Herminghaus, S; Krings, T; Lanfermann, H; Marquardt, G; Möller-Hartmann, W; Pilatus, U; Zanella, FE, 2002)
"Patients who have liver cirrhosis are at increased risk of bacterial infections, such as bacteremia, meningitis, pneumonia, urinary tract infections, and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, due to immunodeficiency associated with the severity of the cirrhosis."1.34Brain abscess in adult cirrhotic patients: two case reports. ( Chen, IY; Chung, CL; Howng, SL; Kwan, AL; Lieu, AS, 2007)
"Most of the brain tumors were characterized by strongly reduced total N-acetylaspartyl compounds and marked increases of myo-inositol and choline-containing compounds, consistent with a lack of neuroaxonal tissue and a proliferation of glial cells."1.31Quantitative proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy of focal brain lesions. ( Dechent, P; Frahm, J; Hanefeld, F; Herms, J; Markakis, E; Maxton, C; Wilken, B, 2000)
"We examined 120 patients with brain tumors using a 1."1.31In vivo proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy of brain tumors. ( Fountas, KN; Gotsis, SD; Johnston, KW; Kapsalaki, EZ; Kapsalakis, JZ; Papadakis, N; Robinson, JS; Smisson , HF, 2000)
"Aspirated pus from one patient with brain abscess was examined using ex vivo proton MR spectroscopy."1.31Discrimination of brain abscess and cystic tumor by in vivo proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. ( Kadota, O; Kikuchi, K; Kohno, K; Kumon, Y; Miki, H; Ohue, S; Sakaki, S, 2001)
"We encountered a case of brain abscess that was difficult to differentiate from glioblastoma."1.29Brain abscess observed by localized proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. ( Harada, M; Kannuki, S; Miyoshi, H; Nishitani, H; Tanouchi, M, 1994)
