Does a novel inhibitor of inflammatory cytokine production ( CNI-1493 ) reduce rodent post-hemorrhagic vasospasm?
These findings support the conclusion that inflammatory cytokines, in particular IL-6, play an important role in development of vasospasm in the rat femoral artery model. Furthermore, these results suggest that the inhibition of inflammatory cytokines may be an appropriate strategy for the treatment of vasospasm after SAH.
E. coli 83972 bacteriuria could only be established in a subset of patients with defective bladder voiding, suggesting that urodynamic defects permit a nonvirulent strain to establish in the urinary tract, but that additional host factors determine if bacteriuria will persist.
