A possible explanation could be that corticosteroids merely reduce cerebral vasogenic edema. However, in vitro research has shown that dexamethasone diminishes the pro-inflammatory and cytotoxic ...

Corticosteroids decrease brain edema. In central nervous system tumors, corticosteroids have been found not only to reduce peritumoral and vasogenic brain edema, but also reduce increased ...

and total brain volume. T2 and ADC values are quantitative measurements that respectively reflect the evolution of vasogenic and cytotoxic edema. All MR data sets were quantified using standard ...

Recent studies have shown that aquaporin-4 (AQP4), a water channel, is induced early after stroke and potentially participates in the development of brain edema. We studied whether induction of ...
