Resuscitation in pediatric emergency and some neurological interventions may result in ischemia reperfusion-induced cerebral injuries. Histamine is one of the well established mediators of cerebral swelling and H1- and H2-receptor antagonists could prevent the development of ischemic brain edema. In
Tesmilifene is a novel potentiator of chemotherapy which, when added to doxorubicin, achieved an unexpected and very large survival advantage over doxorubicin alone in a randomized trial in advanced breast cancer. This trial was unusual in that the early endpoints
