01), and improved Garcia scores at 48 h from CX-6258 ic50 3.8 +/- 0.62 to 7.6 +/- 0.70 or 8.4 +/- 0.74 (both P < 0.01). We conclude that, in a clinically relevant model of stroke, the treatment window for glibenclamide extends to 10 h after onset of ischemia.”
“There is increasing evidence that a greater degree of postictal suppression (the abruptness and magnitude of the EEG voltage drop at the end of the seizure) may be associated with better clinical response to electroconvulsive therapy. Retrospective studies have shown better postictal suppression when propofol is used for induction rather than the more

commonly used methohexital. We report two patients in whom poor postictal suppression was rectified by switching from methohexital to propofol. The clinical

significance of this improvement in postictal suppression is unclear, and prospective studies MLN8237 will be needed to clarify any clinical benefits.”
“Purpose: This study aims to analyze the frequency and distribution of odontogenic tumors in a Greek population and compare the findings with those reported in the recent literature.

Methods: Records of the Department of Oral Medicine and Pathology, Dental School, University of Athens, with histologic diagnosis of odontogenic tumors (based on the World Health Organization 2005 classification) were reviewed retrospectively from January 1970 to December 2011.

Results: A total of 652 cases of odontogenic tumors were IBET762 reported. Of these, 651 (99.8%) were benign and only 1 (0.2%) was malignant. Keratocystic odontogenic tumor was the most frequent lesion (52.7%), followed by odontoma (18.9%) and ameloblastoma (16.1%). The mean age of patients was 38.0 years with a wide range (2.5-92

years).

Conclusions: Odontogenic tumors are rare lesions and appear to show a definite geographic variation. In Athens, Greece, they are presented mainly by the keratocystic odontogenic tumor, odontoma, and ameloblastoma.”
“We evaluated whether near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) measurement from the flank correlates with renal vein saturation in children undergoing cardiac catheterization. Thirty-seven patients <18 years of age were studied. A NIRS sensor was placed on the flank, and venous oxygen saturations were measured from the renal vein and the inferior vena cava (IVC). There was a strong correlation between flank NIRS values (rSO(2)) and renal vein saturation (r = 0.821, p = 0.002) and IVC saturation (r = 0.638, p = 0.004) in children weighing <= 10 kg. In children weighing > 10 kg, there was no correlation between rSO(2) and renal vein saturation (r = 0.158, p = 0.57) or IVC saturation (r = -0.107, p = 0.67). Regional tissue oxygenation as measured by flank NIRS correlates well with both renal vein and IVC oxygen saturations in children weighing <10 kg undergoing cardiac catheterization, but not in larger children.
