propranolol and Schistosoma mansoni Infection

propranolol has been researched along with Schistosoma mansoni Infection in 7 studies

Propranolol: A widely used non-cardioselective beta-adrenergic antagonist. Propranolol has been used for MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION; ARRHYTHMIA; ANGINA PECTORIS; HYPERTENSION; HYPERTHYROIDISM; MIGRAINE; PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA; and ANXIETY but adverse effects instigate replacement by newer drugs.
propranolol : A propanolamine that is propan-2-ol substituted by a propan-2-ylamino group at position 1 and a naphthalen-1-yloxy group at position 3.

"The best results obtained in treatment of portal hypertension were: esophagogastric devascularization and splenectomy (EGDS), although risk of rebleeding persists; classical (proximal) splenorenal shunt (SRS) should be abandoned; distal splenorenal shunt may complicate with hepatic encephalopathy, although later and in a lower percentage than in SRS."2.38Portal hypertension in schistosomiasis: pathophysiology and treatment. ( Da Silva, LC, 1992)
"All of them had high-risk esophageal varices at endoscopy."1.35Propranolol reduces variceal pressure and wall tension in schistosomiasis presinusoidal portal hypertension. ( Bittencourt, PL; Carrilho, FJ; da Rocha, EC; Dos Santos Bomfim, V; Farias, AQ; Kassab, F; Vezozzo, DC, 2009)

" It was decided that patients whose portal pressure was reduced by 30% with the use of the drug would not undergo surgery and that treatment would consist of the chronic use of propranolol, associated with sclerosis of esophageal varices."1.30Systemic and hepatic hemodynamics in hepatosplenic Manson's schistosomiasis with and without propranolol.

"Propranolol was administered in drinking water to 20 animals for a period of 6 wk at a dose of 10 mg."1.28Propranolol ameliorates the development of portal-systemic shunting in a chronic murine schistosomiasis model of portal hypertension.
