Headache is the most frequent side effect, but postmyelography headache is less frequent in young and old ages. We identified that lumbar puncture and absenceof a previous history headache are protective factors; the only riskfactor found was the patient walking after the procedure was done....
Neurotoxicity is the second most common adverse effect of CAR-T cell therapies and is also known as immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) [65]. The median onset of ICANS is later than CRS (Fig.3), but both are etiologically related and there is a significant correlat...
Albert J FinestoneTemple University School of Medicine, Philadelphia, PA, USAI had a three-lobe pneumonia and toxic encephalopathy in 2004. A lumbar puncture did not show meningitis. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a macroadenoma of the pituitary gland. Prolactin level was significantly elevated, ...
OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine whether the combination of propofol and fentanyl results in lower propofol doses and fewer adverse cardiopulmonary events than propofol and placebo for lumbar puncture in children with acute hematologic malignancies. DESIGN: Randomized, controlled, double blind, crossover...
Consider dabigatran pharmacokinetic profile; placement or removal of an epidural catheter or lumbar puncture is best performed when the anticoagulant effect is low; however, the exact timing to reach a sufficiently low anticoagulant effect in each patient is not known Coadministration with P-gp inducer...
Major regional or lumbar block anesthesia Known hypersensitivity Malignant hypertension Cautions Lower doses may be warranted in the elderly, debilitated patients, malnutrition, CHF, or liver disease Elicits no direct effect on an established thrombus, nor does it reverse ischemic tissue damage INR >4....
lumbar punctures were done before treatment in 10 patients withLoaloads above 10,000 mf/ml, none of them had mf in the CSF before treatment, but four showed a microfilarorachia at D3. As in the urine, these mf were alive. It is difficult to assess at what interval after treatment the...

Lumbar punctures are performed as part of a routine evaluation of neonates with fever in the emergency department. Current recommendations regarding performing a lumbar puncture in the presence of thrombocytopenia exist for children with leukemia and other cancers; however, there are no such ...
The incidence of other side effects was not significantly influenced by needle size. The incidence of headaches and other side effects was significantly higher in female patients. Back pain, the commonest side effect, was significantly more common in patients who had normal lumbar myelograms than ...
