pilocarpine and Death, Sudden

pilocarpine has been researched along with Death, Sudden in 7 studies

Pilocarpine: A slowly hydrolyzed muscarinic agonist with no nicotinic effects. Pilocarpine is used as a miotic and in the treatment of glaucoma.
(+)-pilocarpine : The (+)-enantiomer of pilocarpine.

Death, Sudden: The abrupt cessation of all vital bodily functions, manifested by the permanent loss of total cerebral, respiratory, and cardiovascular functions.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The systemic administration of a potent muscarinic agonist pilocarpine in rats promotes sequential behavioral and electrographic changes that can be divided into 3 distinct periods: (a) an acute period that built up progressively into a limbic status epilepticus and that lasts 24 h, (b) a silent period with a progressive normalization of EEG and behavior which varies from 4 to 44 days, and (c) a chronic period with spontaneous recurrent seizures (SRSs)."4.85The pilocarpine model of epilepsy: what have we learned? ( Arida, RM; Calderazzo, L; Cavalheiro, EA; Naffah-Mazzacoratti, Mda G; Scerni, DA; Scorza, FA, 2009)
"Using the pilocarpine model of epilepsy, we investigated the effects of alcohol consumption on the frequency of seizures in animals with epilepsy as well the underlying a possible association between alcohol intake and sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) occurrence."3.75Alcohol consumption and sudden unexpected death in epilepsy: experimental approach. ( Arida, RM; Cavalheiro, EA; Cysneiros, RM; de Almeida, AC; Machado, HR; Scorza, FA; Scorzai, CA; Terra, VC, 2009)
"Lmx1b(f/f/p) mice had a lower seizure threshold and increased seizure-induced mortality."1.40Serotonin neurones have anti-convulsant effects and reduce seizure-induced mortality. ( Buchanan, GF; Hajek, MA; Murray, NM; Richerson, GB, 2014)
"Among the causes for sudden death in epilepsy, cardiac dysfunction has been an area of interest."1.33[Analysis of cardiac parameters in animals with epilepsy: possible cause of sudden death?]. ( Arida, RM; Cavalheiro, EA; Colugnati, DB; Cysneiros, RM; de Albuquerque, M; Gomes, PA; Scorza, FA, 2005)
"Pilocarpine poisoning was suspected and subsequently confirmed by analysis of urine."1.27Deaths of two hospital inpatients poisoned by pilocarpine. ( Cordner, SM; Fysh, RR; Gordon, H; Whitaker, SJ, 1986)
