prednisone and Nerve Degeneration

prednisone has been researched along with Nerve Degeneration in 12 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.

Nerve Degeneration: Loss of functional activity and trophic degeneration of nerve axons and their terminal arborizations following the destruction of their cells of origin or interruption of their continuity with these cells. The pathology is characteristic of neurodegenerative diseases. Often the process of nerve degeneration is studied in research on neuroanatomical localization and correlation of the neurophysiology of neural pathways.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" The acyclovir dosage was 2400 mg (800 mg three times a day) for 10 days, and prednisone was given as a single daily dose of 1 mg/kg of body weight for 10 days and tapered to 0 over the next 6 days."2.69Idiopathic facial paralysis: a randomized, prospective, and controlled study using single-dose prednisone versus acyclovir three times daily. ( De Diego, JI; De Sarriá, MJ; Gavilán, J; Madero, R; Prim, MP, 1998)
"On treatment with prednisone, the patient's strength and reading skill improved, symptoms resolved, and muscle enzymes returned to normal."1.26Reversible alexia, mitochondrial myopathy, and lactic acidemia. ( Skoglund, RR, 1979)
