Phenytoin administration reveals a differential role of pontine reticular formation and periaqueductal gray neurons in generation of the convulsive behaviors of audiogenic seizures

The ventrolateral periaqueductal gray (PAG) and pontine reticular formation (PRF) are implicated in the neuronal network for audiogenic seizures (AGS). The AGS of genetically epilepsy-prone rats (GEPR-9s) culminate in tonic hindlimb extension (TE), and elevated acoustically evoked neuronal firing and burst firing, immediately preceding TE, have been observed in PAG and PRF. This study examined changes in PAG and PRF neuronal firing and behavior in GEPR-9s, following phenytoin administration. Recordings involved 16 PAG and nine PRF neurons in GEPR-9s. Phenytoin in doses (mean, 6. 3 mg/kg) that suppressed TE selectively did not consistently alter PAG neuronal firing. However, these doses of phenytoin resulted in significant (51.6% of control) suppression of PRF neuronal firing. Doses of phenytoin (mean, 8.3 mg/kg), which completely blocked AGS, significantly reduced PAG neuronal firing (64.6% of control), and more greatly suppressed PRF firing (25.8% of control). These results are consistent with a critical role for PRF neurons in generation of TE not evident for PAG. The suppression of PAG and PRF neuronal firing induced by phenytoin with complete seizure blockade is consistent with vital roles for both structures in the seizure network. The differential effects of phenytoin on structures requisite to the seizure network indicate that this experimental approach may be able to identify the most sensitive therapeutic target for anticonvulsant drugs, which could be critical to pharmacological suppression of specific seizure behaviors manifest in various types of convulsions, potentially including human epilepsy.     

Influence of the ventral hippocampal formation on plasma vasopressin, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, and behavioral responses to novel acoustic stress

The ventral hippocampal formation (vHF) seems to constrain diverse responses to psychological stimuli, and disruption of this function may underlie severe neuropsychiatric diseases. In particular, the ventral subiculum inhibits hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) activity following psychological, but not systemic, stressors. Despite the difficulty in interpreting such HPA responses, they have been relied upon to further characterize vHF function, because increased HPA axis activity is implicated in neuropsychiatric disturbances, and reliance on behavioral and cognitive data is even more problematic. Plasma arginine vasopressin (pAVP), which is inhibited by psychological stimuli and is also implicated in diverse neuropsychiatric diseases, provides a less ambiguous measure of CNS function. To test if its inhibition by psychological stress is also mediated by the vHF, we conducted two studies. In the first, pAVP and behavioral responses to novel acoustic stress were assessed in rats with bilateral excitotoxic lesions of the ventral subiculum and the ventral hippocampus. The subiculum lesions blocked the fall in pAVP and enhanced escape behaviors, whereas the hippocampal lesions produced responses intermediate to those in the subiculum-lesioned and control rats. In the second study, the pAVP response was similarly blocked by small lesions restricted to those vHF subfields which project to the neuroendocrine hypothalamus, compared to the response in animals with lesions in other vHF subfields. These results indicate that discrete projections from the vHF inhibit the pAVP response to psychological stimuli, and suggest that pAVP may provide a reliable probe of vHF activity.     

Total versus tube-related additional work of breathing in ventilator-dependent patients

BACKGROUND: In tracheally intubated or tracheostomized spontaneously breathing patients, tube resistance can highly increase the patient's work of breathing. In this study we focused upon the relationship between total (WOBtot) and tube-related additional inspiratory work of breathing (WOBadd) and compared different ventilatory modalities for proper tube compensation. METHODS: In ten tracheostomized spontaneously breathing patients we measured WOBtot and WOBadd in the continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) mode, under inspiratory pressure support of 5, 10, and 15 cmH2O in the pressure support ventilation (PSV) mode, and under flow-adjusted pressure support in the automatic tube compensation (ATC) mode. WOBadd and WOBtot were calculated on the basis of measured tracheal pressure and esophageal pressure, respectively. Inspiratory peak tracheal pressure above PEEP was taken as an estimate of pressure support beyond mere tube compensation (i.e., overcompensation). RESULTS: The percentage of the tube-related WOBadd on WOBtot in the CPAP mode was 52%. It decreased with increasing pressure support in the PSV mode from 32% (PSV 5 cmH2O) to 17% (PSV 15 cmH2O). WOBadd was only 15% of WOBtot in the ATC mode. In contrast to the other ventilatory modes, reduction of WOBadd in the ATC mode was achieved with the smallest amount of overcompensation, i.e. with minimal pressure assist beyond mere tube compensation. CONCLUSION: In tracheally intubated or tracheostomized spontaneously breathing patients, adequate compensation of tube resistance (i.e. with minimal overcompensation and minimal undercompensation) is best done by the ATC mode.

Tracheoesophageal fistula: New option in management

Tracheoesophageal fistula is a life threatening condition. Patients not managed surgically ultimately die of their disease. Surgical management is the treatment of choice. We present a case of a patient that developed a tracheoesophageal fistula after tracheostomy. Surgical repair was done which failed due to infection. The patient was managed with the help of an esophageal stent and Trichloroacetic Acid cautery. This approach can be used in selected patients, depending upon the size and site of TEE Larger fistulae and those situated lower down e.g. supra carinal cannot be managed by this technique.
