Sentence examples for brain viability from inspiring English sources

Although anesthetics present pharmacologic properties consistent with preservation of brain viability in the context of an ischemic insult, no anesthetic has been proven efficacious for neuroprotection in humans.

These findings indicate that terlipressin may be valuable, as an additive, or alternative, treatment of arterial hypotension in patients with ALF to secure brain viability.

Nonetheless, well-designed studies suggest several ways to improve the brain's viability.

Interestingly, the same molecule released by astrocytes may have opposing actions on brain tissue viability depending on their temporal expression following stroke.

A fluid derived chemical marker for compromised brain cell viability will be a useful added measure of the patients evolving status and could aid in outcome prognosis.

Extensive efforts have recently been devoted to developing noninvasive imaging tools capable of delineating brain tissue viability (penumbra) during acute ischemic stroke.

In addition to MR and CT, PET has also been employed in an attempt to provide insights into brain tissue viability.

Although we do not require more than 2-3 hofrecordingording time to accurately assess rhythms in the firing patterns in GnRH neurons, we believe the maximum recording duration of a single cell could be between 6 and 8 hours based on our estimations of brain slice viability.

In another experiment, slices were treated with either PBE (25, 50, 100, or 200  μg/mL) or catechin (1, 5, or 10  μg/mL) alone to determine the effect of extract and its major flavonoid, catechin, on brain hippocampal cellular viability.

It is important to correct this underestimation in large flow changes for applications such as mapping the effects of stroke in the brain, where tissue viability is often estimated from the spatial extent of reduction in blood flow [ 2, 15, 14].

Unless we overturned the "dead-donor rule"—the policy of permitting extraction of vital organs only from dead bodies then it would be illegal to procure organs from these living patients who have incurred total brain failure; yet the viability of their organs would require maintaining respiration and circulation with life-supports.
