Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid antidepressant effects of repeated doses of ketamine compared with electroconvulsive therapy in hospitalized patients with major depressive disorder
Mehdi Ghasemi,Mohammad Hossein Kazemi,Mohammad Hossein Kazemi,Abolghasem Yoosefi,Abbas Ghasemi,Pedram Paragomi,Homayoun Amini,Mohammad H. Afzali,Mohammad H. Afzali +8 more
TL;DR: It was shown that ketamine is as effective as ECT in improving depressive symptoms in MDD patients and have more rapid antidepressant effects compared with the ECT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Agmatine enhances the anticonvulsant effect of lithium chloride on pentylenetetrazole-induced seizures in mice: Involvement of L-arginine/nitric oxide pathway
Arash Bahremand,Pouya Ziai,Tina Kabiri Khodadad,Borna Payandemehr,Reza Rahimian,Abbas Ghasemi,Mehdi Ghasemi,Tina Hedayat,Ahmad Reza Dehpour +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that agmatine and lithium chloride have synergistic anticonvulsant properties that may be mediated through the L-arginine/nitric oxide pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
Voltage-dependent calcium channel and NMDA receptor antagonists augment anticonvulsant effects of lithium chloride on pentylenetetrazole-induced clonic seizures in mice.
Mehdi Ghasemi,Hamed Shafaroodi,Saeed Nazarbeiki,Hossein Meskar,Pouria Heydarpour,Abbas Ghasemi,Abbas Ghasemi,Saman Shafaat Talab,Pouya Ziai,Arash Bahremand,Ahmad Reza Dehpour +10 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that lithium increases the clonic seizure threshold induced by PTZ in mice and interacts with either CCBs or NMDA receptor antagonists in exerting this effect, suggesting a role for Ca(2+) signaling in the anticonvulsant effects of lithium in the PTZ model of clonic seizures in mice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibition of NMDA receptor/NO signaling blocked tolerance to the anticonvulsant effect of morphine on pentylenetetrazole-induced seizures in mice.
Mehdi Ghasemi,Hamed Shafaroodi,Saeed Nazarbeiki,Hossein Meskar,Abbas Ghasemi,Abbas Ghasemi,Arash Bahremand,Pouya Ziai,Ahmad Reza Dehpour +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that anticonvulsant effect of morphine can be subject to tolerance after repeated administration, and a role for NMDA receptor/NO signaling in the development of tolerance to the anticonvalence of morphine is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sonographic measurement of uterus and ovaries in premenarcheal healthy girls between 6 and 13 years old: correlation with age and pubertal status.
TL;DR: To provide normal references of sonographic uterine and ovarian size in premenarcheal healthy girls aged 6–13 years in different stages of puberty.
