prednisone and Brain Injuries

prednisone has been researched along with Brain Injuries in 6 studies

Prednisone: A synthetic anti-inflammatory glucocorticoid derived from CORTISONE. It is biologically inert and converted to PREDNISOLONE in the liver.
prednisone : A synthetic glucocorticoid drug that is particularly effective as an immunosuppressant, and affects virtually all of the immune system. Prednisone is a prodrug that is converted by the liver into prednisolone (a beta-hydroxy group instead of the oxo group at position 11), which is the active drug and also a steroid.

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.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" The latency period between the steroid therapy and the occurrence of AON ranged from 12 to 60 months; steroid therapy lasted for 12 to 16 days with a total dosage equivalent to 2370-7180 mg prednisolone."1.28[Craniocerebral trauma and aseptic osteonecrosis. Steroid-induced sequelae after therapy of brain edema]. ( Griss, P; Pfeiffer, M, 1992)
