    • Ablation of the ability to control the right-to-left cardiac shunt does not affect oxygen uptake, specific dynamic action or growth in the rattlesnake Crotalus durissus 

      Leite, Cleo A. C. [UNIFESP]; Taylor, Edwin W.; Wang, Tobias; Abe, Augusto S.; Andrade, Denis O. V. de (Company of Biologists Ltd, 2013-05-01)
      The morphologically undivided ventricle of the heart in non-crocodilian reptiles permits the mixing of oxygen-rich blood returning from the lungs and oxygen-poor blood from the systemic circulation. A possible functional ...

    • Alcohol consumption and sudden unexpected death in epilepsy: experimental approach 

      Scorza, Carla Alessandra [UNIFESP]; Cysneiros, Roberta Monterazzo [UNIFESP]; Arida, Ricardo Mario [UNIFESP]; Terra, Vera Cristina; Machado, Helio Rubens; Almeida, Antonio-Carlos G. de; Cavalheiro, Esper Abrão [UNIFESP]; Scorza, Fulvio Alexandre [UNIFESP] (Academia Brasileira de Neurologia - ABNEURO, 2009-12-01)
      Using the pilocarpine model of epilepsy, we investigated the effects of alcohol consumption on the frequency of seizures in animals with epilepsy as well the underlying a possible association between alcohol intake and ...

    • Angiotensin receptor in the heart of Bothrops jararaca snake 

      Breno, M. C.; Porto, C. S.; Picarelli, Z. P. (Elsevier B.V., 2001-04-06)
      Angiotensin II interacts with specific cell surface angiotensin AT(1) and AT(2) receptors and, in some vertebrates, with an atypical angiotensin AT receptor. This study was designed to characterize the angiotensin receptor ...

    • Avaliação de parâmetros cardíacos em animais com epilepsia: possível causa de morte súbita? 

      Colugnati, Diego Basile [UNIFESP]; Gomes, Paulo Alberto Paes; Arida, Ricardo Mario [UNIFESP]; Albuquerque, Marly de [UNIFESP]; Cysneiros, Roberta Monterazzo [UNIFESP]; Cavalheiro, Esper Abrão [UNIFESP]; Scorza, Fulvio Alexandre [UNIFESP] (Academia Brasileira de Neurologia - ABNEURO, 2005-12-01)
      Among the causes for sudden death in epilepsy, cardiac dysfunction has been an area of interest. Based on this, the aim of our study was to evaluate the heart rate (in vivo and in vitro) and ventricular pressure in vitro ...

    • The brain-heart connection: Implications for understanding sudden unexpected death in epilepsy 

      Scorza, Fulvio Alexandre [UNIFESP]; Arida, Ricardo Mario [UNIFESP]; Cysneiros, Roberta Monterazzo [UNIFESP]; Terra, Vera C.; Sonoda, Eliza Yumi de Freitas [UNIFESP]; Albuquerque, Marly de [UNIFESP]; Cavalheiro, Esper Abrão [UNIFESP] (Via Medica, 2009-09-01)
      Epilepsy is one of the commonest neurological problems worldwide. Approximately 3% of the general population will suffer from epilepsy at some point in their lives. Unfortunately, individuals with epilepsy are at a higher ...

    • Carbamazepine does not alter the intrinsic cardiac function in rats with epilepsy 

      Colugnati, Diego Basile [UNIFESP]; Arida, Ricardo Mario [UNIFESP]; Cysneiros, Roberta Monterazzo [UNIFESP]; Terra, Vera Cristina; Sonoda, Eliza Yumi de Freitas [UNIFESP]; Pansani, Aline Priscila [UNIFESP]; Scorza, Carla Alessandra [UNIFESP]; Cavalheiro, Esper Abrão [UNIFESP]; Scorza, Fulvio Alexandre [UNIFESP] (Academia Brasileira de Neurologia - ABNEURO, 2010-08-01)
      Among the causes for sudden unexpected death (SUDEP) in epilepsy, the effects of antiepileptic drugs on the heart have been poorly explored. Based on this, the aim of our study was to evaluate the heart rate (in vivo and ...

    • Could sudden cardiac death in epilepsy be related to the occurrence of thalamic dysfunction or anatomic change? 

      Scorza, Fulvio Alexandre [UNIFESP]; Calderazzo, Lineu [UNIFESP]; Albuquerque, Marly de [UNIFESP]; Arida, Ricardo Mario [UNIFESP]; Almeida, Antonio-Carlos G. de; Cavalheiro, Esper Abrão [UNIFESP] (Academia Brasileira de Neurologia - ABNEURO, 2009-03-01)
      Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is the most important direct epilepsy-related cause of death in people with chronic epilepsy. Its physiopathology is still unknown; however, the most commonly suggested potential ...

    • Environmental air pollution is an aggravating event for sudden unexpected death in epilepsy 

      Scorza, Carla Alessandra [UNIFESP]; Calderazzo, Lineu [UNIFESP]; Arida, Ricardo Mario [UNIFESP]; Cavalheiro, Esper Abrão [UNIFESP]; Scorza, Fulvio Alexandre [UNIFESP] (Academia Brasileira de Neurologia - ABNEURO, 2013-10-01)
      It is extremely difficult to estimate the occurrence of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). On the other hand, discovering and carefully evaluating new risk factors that may contribute to the onset of cardiovascular ...
