methenamine and Spinal Cord Injuries

methenamine has been researched along with Spinal Cord Injuries in 15 studies

Methenamine: An anti-infective agent most commonly used in the treatment of urinary tract infections. Its anti-infective action derives from the slow release of formaldehyde by hydrolysis at acidic pH. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p173)
hexamethylenetetramine : A polycyclic cage that is adamantane in which the carbon atoms at positions 1, 3, 5 and 7 are replaced by nitrogen atoms.

Spinal Cord Injuries: Penetrating and non-penetrating injuries to the spinal cord resulting from traumatic external forces (e.g., WOUNDS, GUNSHOT; WHIPLASH INJURIES; etc.).

"We conducted 202 trials in 161 male hospital patients to determine if prophylactic administration of ascorbic acid or antibacterials (trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, nalidixic acid, methenamine hippurate or nitrofurantoin macrocrystals) would prevent bacteriuria infections in spinal cord injury patients who had had at least 1 bout of bacteriuria."5.05Prophylactic antibacterial therapy for preventing urinary tract infections in spinal cord injury patients. ( Kuhlemeier, KV; Lloyd, LK; Stover, SL, 1985)
"This study was designed to determine the effect of methenamine on the frequency of urinary tract infections (UTI) in hospitalized patients after spinal cord injury."3.68Decreased incidence of urinary tract infections in patients with spinal cord injury: effect of methenamine. ( Banovac, K; Gonzalez, F; Rhamy, RK; Wade, N; Walsh, B, 1991)
"We studied prospectively 40 patients with recent spinal cord injuries to determine the effectiveness of the combination of oral methenamine and an intravesicular acidifying agent for prevention of urinary tract infection during intermittent catheterization."3.67Prevention of urinary tract infection during intermittent catheterization. ( Fishman, IJ; Halvorsen, RB; Krebs, M; Santos-Mendoza, N, 1984)
"To achieve effective suppression of bacteriuria in spinal cord injured (SCI) patients, methenamine mandelate and methenamine hippurate are commonly given with ascorbic acid."3.67Formaldehyde generation from methenamine salts in spinal cord injury. ( Devenport, JK; Dukes, GE; Sonsalla, PK; Swenson, JR, 1984)
"Patients with spinal cord injuries are at increased risk of developing symptomatic urinary tract infections."2.52Australian Institute of Sport and the Australian Paralympic Committee position statement: urinary tract infection in spinal cord injured athletes. ( Compton, S; Cunningham, C; Hughes, D; Trease, L, 2015)
" These results suggest that the long-term use of antimicrobial suppressants can help reduce rates of urinary tract infection in bladder-retrained patients and in patients emptying by intermittent self-catheterization."1.26Bacteriuria during follow-up in patients with spinal cord injury: II Efficacy of antimicrobial suppressants. ( Erickson, RP; Merritt, JL; Opitz, JL, 1982)
