Isoprenaline is used to treat heart block and episodes of Adams–Stokes syndrome that are not caused by ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation, in emergencies for cardiac arrest until electric shock can be administered, for bronchospasm occurring during anesthesia, and as an adjunct in the treatment of hypovolemic shock, septic shock, low cardiac output (hypoperfusion) states, congestive ...
Motor imagery for gait rehabilitation after stroke. The latest evidence supports the short-term benefits of motor imagery (MI) on walking speed in individuals who have had a stroke, in comparison to other therapies. [94] MI does not improve motor function after stroke and does not seem to cause significant adverse events. [94]
Between 2020 and 2022, 306 participants, with an average age of 68, were enrolled approximately one month after a stroke. 162 received usual care (the control group), and 144 received the Walk ...
A cerebroprotectant (formerly known as a neuroprotectant) is a drug that is intended to protect the brain after the onset of acute ischemic stroke. [1] As stroke is the second largest cause of death worldwide and a leading cause of adult disability, over 150 drugs have been tested in clinical trials to provide cerebroprotection.
Isoprenaline (non-selective) Norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors , like atomoxetine , methylphenidate , and cocaine , as well as norepinephrine releasing agents , like amphetamine , ephedrine , pseudoephedrine , and phenylpropanolamine , indirectly activate β 1 -adrenergic receptors (as well as other adrenergic receptors) by increasing ...
Nerve fibers in the iris with noradrenaline. The catecholamines are a group of neurotransmitters composed of the endogenous substances dopamine, noradrenaline (norepinephrine), and adrenaline (epinephrine), as well as numerous artificially synthesized compounds such as isoprenaline - an anti-bradycardiac medication.

Hemorrhagic stroke is a rare but serious complication of thrombolytic therapy. If a patient has had thrombolysis before, an allergy against the thrombolytic drug may have developed (especially after streptokinase). If the symptoms are mild, the infusion is stopped and the patient is commenced on an antihistamine before infusion is recommenced.
Spinal cord stroke is a rare type of stroke with compromised blood flow to any region of spinal cord owing to occlusion or bleeding, leading to irreversible neuronal death. [1] It can be classified into two types, ischaemia and haemorrhage, in which the former accounts for 86% of all cases, a pattern similar to cerebral stroke.
