Taking Sides: Physician's Perceptions on the Use of the Wada Test in Epilepsy Surgery-Q-PULSE Survey Commentary.

Epilepsy currents

Quigg M.
PMID: 26316876
Epilepsy Curr. 2015 Jul-Aug;15(4):225. doi: 10.5698/1535-7511-15.4.225.

The recent Q-PULSE Survey compiled by Chad Carlson asked members to place the Wada test (bilateral intracarotid amobarbital test) in the context of the current practice of epilepsy surgery. Historically, the Wada test has three purposes: to lateralize language,...

Decline in Verbal Memory Associated with Duration of Epilepsy: An Intracarotid Amobarbital Study.

Epilepsy & behavior : E&B

Blum D.
PMID: 12609282
Epilepsy Behav. 2001 Oct;2(5):448-453. doi: 10.1006/ebeh.2001.0239.

Background. Many patients with mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS) observe that their memory has declined over time, but objective evidence for this is scant.Method. Verbal memory scores were obtained during amobarbital injection of the right carotid artery in 30 right-handed...

Pentobarbital discrimination and generalization to other drugs under multiple fixed-ratio fixed-interval schedules.

Behavioural pharmacology

McMillan DE, Hardwick WC.
PMID: 11224420
Behav Pharmacol. 1996 May;7(3):285-293.

Pigeons were trained to discriminate 5mg/kg pentobarbital from saline under several multiple fixed-ratio fixed-interval schedules of food presentation. The following schedules were studied: multiple fixed-ratio 40 fixed-interval 18s (mult FR40 FI18), mult FR10 FI18s, mult FR10 FI180s and mult...

Role of functional MRI in presurgical evaluation of memory function in temporal lobe epilepsy.

Epilepsy research and treatment

Limotai C, Mirsattari SM.
PMID: 22957237
Epilepsy Res Treat. 2012;2012:687219. doi: 10.1155/2012/687219. Epub 2012 May 15.

Many diagnostic tools have been employed to predict the likelihood of a postoperative memory decline after a standard temporal lobectomy, including the intracarotid amobarbital testing (IAT) or Wada, regarded as the gold standard test for over the past half...

Beyond the Wada: An updated approach to pre-surgical language and memory testing: An updated review of available evaluation techniques and recommended workflow to limit Wada test use to essential clinical cases.

Epilepsy research

Qadri S, Dave H, Das R, Alick-Lindstrom S.
PMID: 34082393
Epilepsy Res. 2021 Aug;174:106673. doi: 10.1016/j.eplepsyres.2021.106673. Epub 2021 May 15.

The Intracarotid amobarbital test (IAT), also called Wada test, is considered the "gold standard" for lateralizing language dominance in the pre-surgical evaluation of patients with epilepsy. In addition, it has been further modified to assess the postoperative risk of...

[Tolerability and adverse effects of propofol in the Wada test].

Revista de neurologia

Castro-Macías JI, Pérez-Reyes SP, García-Cazarez R, Pérez-Careta MC, Díaz-Campos MO, Salazar-Hörner DL, Preciado-Gutiérrez OU, Ruíz-Velázquez F.
PMID: 33616197
Rev Neurol. 2021 Mar 01;72(5):151-156. doi: 10.33588/rn.7205.2020292.

INTRODUCTION: The Wada test consists of the selective and reversible inhibition of a cerebral hemisphere by intracarotid injection of amobarbital in order to evaluate the laterality of language and memory. However, there are other anesthetic drugs such as propofol,...

Right Hemisphere Language Dominance in a Right-Handed Patient with Late-Onset Seizures.

Epilepsy & behavior : E&B

Boatman D, Alidoost M, Bergey G, Gordon B, Crone N, Hart J, Lenz F.
PMID: 12609445
Epilepsy Behav. 2000 Aug;1(4):281-286. doi: 10.1006/ebeh.2000.0079.

Right hemisphere language dominance is rare in right-handed individuals and usually the result of language transfer associated with early left hemisphere pathology. We studied a 33-year-old right-handed man, with a normal MRI scan, who developed left frontal lobe seizures...

The Response to an Amobarbital Interview as a Predictor of Therapeutic Outcome in Patients with Catatonic Mutism.

Convulsive therapy

McCall WV.
PMID: 11941167
Convuls Ther. 1992;8(3):174-178.

Intravenous amobarbital temporarily relieves catatonic mutism. The older psychiatric literature reported that response to amobarbital is associated with eventual good therapeutic outcome, whereas nonresponse may indicate poor outcome. This study investigated the short-term outcome of 20 patients with catatonic...

Presurgical Functional Cortical Mapping Using Electromagnetic Source Imaging.

Frontiers in neurology

Kreidenhuber R, De Tiège X, Rampp S.
PMID: 31249552
Front Neurol. 2019 Jun 13;10:628. doi: 10.3389/fneur.2019.00628. eCollection 2019.

Preoperative localization of functionally eloquent cortex (functional cortical mapping) is common clinical practice in order to avoid or reduce postoperative morbidity. This review aims at providing a general overview of magnetoencephalography (MEG) and high-density electroencephalography (hdEEG) based methods and...

Simultaneous Determination of Phenobarbital, Pentobarbital, Amobarbital and Secobarbital in Raw Milk via Liquid Chromatography with Electron Spray Ionization Tandem Mass Spectrometry.

Korean journal for food science of animal resources

Tian H, Zhou X, Chen C, He Y, Yu H, Zheng X.
PMID: 29725206
Korean J Food Sci Anim Resour. 2017;37(6):847-854. doi: 10.5851/kosfa.2017.37.6.847. Epub 2017 Dec 31.

A rapid, sensitive and specific liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed for the simultaneous determination of four barbiturates (phenobarbital, pentobarbital, amobarbital and secobarbital) in raw milk. The barbiturates were extracted using liquid-liquid extraction, ultrasonication and centrifugation, and...

Blockade of electron transport at the onset of reperfusion decreases cardiac injury in aged hearts by protecting the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Journal of aging research

Chen Q, Ross T, Hu Y, Lesnefsky EJ.
PMID: 22619720
J Aging Res. 2012;2012:753949. doi: 10.1155/2012/753949. Epub 2012 Apr 23.

Myocardial injury is increased in the aged heart following ischemia-reperfusion (ISC-REP) compared to adult hearts. Intervention at REP with ischemic postconditioning decreases injury in the adult heart by attenuating mitochondrial driven cell injury. Unfortunately, postconditioning is ineffective in aged...
