A Model for Studying Vasogenic Brain Edema
… agent delivery to brain tumors, where vasogenic edema (VE) exists. The current study aims to characterize a model of VE suitable for studying CED.VE was produced in the right hemisphere of the rat brain using multiple infusions of hyperosmotic mannitol (0.25mL/kg/s over 30 seconds) delivered …

Oxygen resuscitation does not ameliorate neonatal hypoxia/ischemia-induced edema
… deficits in children. Although cerebral edema is a common outcome after HI, the mechanisms leading to the excessive fluid accumulation are poorly understood. Hyperoxia treatment after HI (HHI) is the recommended clinical therapy for newborn resuscitation. Our objective was to evaluate …

Local drug delivery for treatment of brain tumor associated edema
Brain tumor associated edema, a common feature of malignant brain neoplasms, is a significant cause of morbidity from brain tumor. Systemic administration of corticosteroids, the standard of care, is highly effective but can introduce serious systemic complications. Agents that inhibit the vascular …

Role of Astrocyte Network in Edema after Juvenile Traumatic Brain Injury
… One of the pathological hallmarks of jTBI is edema. Astrocytes play a key role in the edema process, and have been hypothesized that numerous astrocyte networks allow communication and propagation of edema and secondary injury spread. Two key astrocyte proteins are hypothesized to have a …

Mechanisms of Brain Edema Formation in Mouse Models of Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Perihematomal edema causes major neurologic deterioration following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), mainly resulting from the disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) by multiple mediators, including inflammatory mediators and thrombin. The objective of our study was to investigate the …

Objective Measurement of Peripheral Edema as Symptomatic of Congestive Heart Failure
… swelling of the extremities, known as peripheral edema. Assessing the severity level of pitting, or indentation, in peripheral edema can potentially provide insights about one's heart condition. When clinicians use digital manipulation to assess severity, the measurements are subjective. …

Evaluation & design of a novel drug delivery device for treating tumor-related cerebral edema
Tumor-related cerebral edema is a debilitating medical condition that afflicts tens of thousands of newly diagnosed brain cancer patients in the U.S. each year, where the standard care of treatment indicates the systemic administration of dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DXM) and surgery. The former …

Mechanisms of Edema Clearance: The Central Role of Lymphatic Vessels and LYVE1 in Fluid Homeostasis
Disruption of fluid homeostasis results in tissue edema, a hallmark of clinical conditions such as lymphedema. Despite significant advances in lymphatic biology, lymphedema remains a chronic and incurable disorder, largely due to an incomplete understanding of the mechanisms that regulate edema …

The role of substance P in cerebral edema associated with rat and human infarction and contusion
… brain injury (TBI) and stroke is cerebral edema, but its mechanism is poorly understood. Recent evidence suggests that substance P (SP) plays a role in this edema and that injured SP-containing perivascular nerve fibres are involved. A study which examined tissue obtained from rat models …
