The worldwide expansion in the use of benzodiazepines has led to their frequent, and often inappropriate, use and to increase in their involvement in self-induced poisoning and iatrogenic overdosing. Flumazenil is a specific and competitive antagonist at the central benzodiazepine

Midazolam may occasionally precipitate hostility and violence instead of tranquility. We characterized these episodes, their rate of occurrence, the potential paradoxical responders and possible predisposing circumstances among patients undergoing lower body surgery under spinal or epidural anaesthesia and midazolam sedation.

Previous studies have demonstrated that the knockdown or knockout of the three Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX) isoforms, NCX1, NCX2, and NCX3, worsens ischemic brain damage. This suggests that the activation of these antiporters exerts a neuroprotective action against stroke damage. However

Effective neovascularization is crucial for recovery after cardiovascular events. Because microRNAs regulate expression of up to several hundred target genes, we set out to identify microRNAs that target genes in all pathways of the multifactorial neovascularization process. Using www.targetscan.org, we

Flumazenil is frequently administered to the poisoned patient. Seizures may be precipitated and resedation may occur in patients who awakened following flumazenil administration. Seizures may increase morbidity and mortality of the overdose. Benefit:Risk ratio of administering flumazenil should be determined
