Mycophenolate mofetil, a prodrug form of mycophenolic acid used in medicine. Mycophenolate mofetil is the morpholino ethyl ester of mycophenolic acid; the ester masks the carboxyl group. [42] Mycophenolate mofetil is reported to have a pKa values of 5.6 for the morpholino moiety and 8.5 for the phenolic group.
Cerebral edema is a major cause of brain damage and contributes significantly to the mortality of ischemic strokes and traumatic brain injuries. [ 4 ] [ 9 ] As cerebral edema is present with many common cerebral pathologies, the epidemiology of the disease is not easily defined. [ 1 ]
These factors cause the brain to swell with fluid, resulting in severe impairment. [15] If the swelling is untreated, it causes death by brain herniation. [4] The brain swelling is likely a result of vasogenic edema, the penetration of the blood–brain barrier by fluids. [16] This process has been observed in MRI studies.
A link between these types of drugs and cognitive impairment isn't a totally new discovery, but for the first time, researchers used brain imaging techniques to determine the physical changes ...
Long-term use of NSAIDs can cause gastric erosions, which can become stomach ulcers and in extreme cases can cause severe haemorrhage, resulting in death. The risk of death as a result of GI bleeding caused by the use of NSAIDs is 1 in 12,000 for adults aged 16–45. [5] The risk increases almost twentyfold for those over 75. [5]

The cause of death: cerebral edema, a swelling of the brain brought on after Lee had taken too much aspirin." It also mentioned that toward the end of his life, Lee had suffered "several public ...
High resolution MRI may show hyperenhancement of the blood vessel walls in primary CNS vasculitis and may help to distinguish the lesions form atherosclerotic plaques or reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome which have similar morphology on angiography. MRI usually also shows multiple infarcts, enhancement of the leptomeninges (the ...
