  1. ncbi Indirect CB2 receptor and mediator-dependent stimulation of human whole-blood neutrophils by exogenous and endogenous cannabinoids
    Birgit Kraft
    Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine B, Medical University of Vienna, Austria
    J Pharmacol Exp Ther 315:641-7. 2005
    ..Results of our further experiments suggest that products of the arachidonic acid metabolism are mediators of the cannabinoid-induced enhancement of the respiratory burst reaction of whole-blood PMNs...
  2. ncbi Lack of analgesia by oral standardized cannabis extract on acute inflammatory pain and hyperalgesia in volunteers
    Birgit Kraft
    Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine A, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria
    Anesthesiology 109:101-10. 2008
    ..Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of oral cannabis extract in two different human models of acute inflammatory pain and hyperalgesia...
  3. ncbi Cannabinoid receptor-independent suppression of the superoxide generation of human neutrophils (PMN) by CP55 940, but not by anandamide
    Birgit Kraft
    Department of Anesthesiology, Medical University of Vienna, Waehringer Guertel 18 20, A 1090 Vienna, Austria
    Life Sci 75:969-77. 2004
    ..This inhibitory effect of CP55 940 was not CB-receptor-mediated. In contrast, anandamide and methanandamide did not alter the oxidative microbicidal PMN function...
  4. ncbi The procoagulatory effects of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol in human platelets
    Engelbert Deusch
    Department of General Anesthesiology and Intensive Care B, Vienna Medical University, General Hospital Vienna, Waehringer Guertel 18 20, A 1090 Vienna, Austria
    Anesth Analg 99:1127-30, table of contents. 2004
    ..However, further in vivo studies are warranted to evaluate the role of cannabinoid receptors in mediating the demonstrated procoagulatory effect of THC...
  5. ncbi No carnitine palmitoyltransferase deficiency in skeletal muscle in 18 malignant hyperthermia susceptible individuals
    Thomas Wieser
    Department of Anaesthesia and Pain Management, Medical University of Vienna, Allgemeines Krankenhaus, Wahringer Gurtel 18 20, 1090 Vienna, Austria
    Neuromuscul Disord 18:471-4. 2008
    ..Thus our data do not support the hypothesis that susceptibility to malignant hyperthermia has an effect on the carnitine palmitoyltransferase enzyme system...

    Hans G Kress
    Department of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine, Medical University of Vienna, Waehringer Guertel 18 20, A 1090 Vienna, Austria
    Eur J Pain 9:141-4. 2005
    ..Based on these data, the prerequisites and restrictions for driving under chronic opioid medication are outlined and practical guidelines are proposed...
  7. ncbi Novel ryanodine receptor mutation that may cause malignant hyperthermia
    Alexius Kaufmann
    Department of Special Anesthesia and Pain Management, Medical University of Vienna, Wahringer Gurtel 18 20, Vienna A 1090, Austria
    Anesthesiology 109:457-64. 2008
    ..The aim of this study was to provide functional data that establish a potential link between this new variant and susceptibility to MH, and thus enable application in genetic tests...
  8. ncbi No evidence for direct modulatory effects of delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol on human polymorphonuclear leukocytes
    Engelbert Deusch
    University Hospital AKH, Vienna Medical University, A 1090 Vienna, Austria
    J Neuroimmunol 141:99-103. 2003
    ..Thus, circulating human PMN from healthy individuals remain unaffected by Delta(9)-THC due to the absence of functional CB(2)-receptor expression...
