prednisone and Memory Disorders

prednisone has been researched along with Memory Disorders in 19 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.

Memory Disorders: Disturbances in registering an impression, in the retention of an acquired impression, or in the recall of an impression. Memory impairments are associated with DEMENTIA; CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA; ENCEPHALITIS; ALCOHOLISM (see also ALCOHOL AMNESTIC DISORDER); SCHIZOPHRENIA; and other conditions.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" We previously reported greater depressive symptom severity, poorer memory and smaller hippocampal volumes in patients with asthma or rheumatic diseases receiving long-term prednisone therapy than in controls."3.74Effects of chronic prednisone therapy on mood and memory. ( Brown, ES; Frol, AB; Johnson, B; Vera, E; Woolston, DJ, 2007)
"Thus, these findings indicate that memory deficits observed under chronically elevated glucocorticoid levels result, at least in part, from acute and reversible glucocorticoid effects on memory retrieval."2.73Glucocorticoid therapy-induced memory deficits: acute versus chronic effects. ( Coluccia, D; de Quervain, DJ; Forster, A; Kollias, S; Roozendaal, B; Wolf, OT, 2008)
"To describe a case of acute nonherpetic limbic encephalitis (LE) with negative testing for antibodies directed against onconeuronal and cell membrane antigens, including voltage-gated potassium channels and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor, that showed a dramatic response to immune therapy."1.35Successful treatment of acute autoimmune limbic encephalitis with negative VGKC and NMDAR antibodies. ( Andreetta, F; Marra, C; Masciullo, M; Modoni, A; Silvestri, G; Spinelli, P; Tartaglione, T; Tonali, P, 2009)
"Morvan's syndrome is characterized by peripheral nervous system hyperexcitibility (myokymia and neuromyotonia), hyperhydrosis, sleep disorder, limb paresthesias, and encephalopathy."1.35Reduplicative paramnesia in Morvan's syndrome. ( Anderson, CA; Filley, CM; Hudson, LA; Johnston-Brooks, C; Rollins, YD; Tyler, KL, 2008)
"Although temporal arteritis (TA) is a common vasculitis, mental status changes and higher cortical dysfunction have received limited attention in the literature."1.28Mental status abnormalities in temporal arteritis: a treatable cause of dementia in the elderly. ( Davis, TE; Pascuzzi, RM; Roos, KL, 1989)
"The dementia was characterized by deficits in memory retention, attention, concentration, mental speed and efficiency, and occupational performance."1.27Reversible steroid dementia in patients without steroid psychosis. ( Alexander, B; MacIndoe, JH; Varney, NR, 1984)
"Mental symptoms are common in temporal arteritis."1.26Reversible mental symptoms in temporal arteritis. ( Cochran, JW; Fox, JH; Kelly, MP, 1978)
