nimesulide and Brain Injuries

nimesulide has been researched along with Brain Injuries in 3 studies

nimesulide: structure
nimesulide : An aromatic ether having phenyl and 2-methylsulfonamido-5-nitrophenyl as the two aryl groups.

Brain Injuries: Acute and chronic (see also BRAIN INJURIES, CHRONIC) injuries to the brain, including the cerebral hemispheres, CEREBELLUM, and BRAIN STEM. Clinical manifestations depend on the nature of injury. Diffuse trauma to the brain is frequently associated with DIFFUSE AXONAL INJURY or COMA, POST-TRAUMATIC. Localized injuries may be associated with NEUROBEHAVIORAL MANIFESTATIONS; HEMIPARESIS, or other focal neurologic deficits.

Receptor Binding Corrected for Plasma (Vt/fp)

Total distribution volume divided by plasma free fraction (fp) of [C-11]PBR28. Measured with PET and arterial input function (concentration of radioligand in arterial plasma over time). (NCT01547780)
