Does intravenous infusion of calcium antagonist , nicardipine , increase intracranial pressure : evaluation in a rat model of transient cerebral ischemia and reperfusion?
Under conditions where ICP was high following reperfusion, nicardipine reduced blood pressure safely without increasing ICP in rats.
From our data, trauma to the clinically apparent tumour might be a considerable risk factor in NAM. The diagnosis of NAM should be considered in lesions of the nail apparatus and further deterioration of the prognosis due to inadequate therapeutic attempts or injury to the NAM should be avoided.
