Adenosine 5′-triphosphate-sensitive potassium channel-mediated blood-brain tumor barrier permeability increase in a rat brain tumor model

NS Ningaraj, MK Rao, KL Black - Cancer research, 2003 - AACR
Brain tumor microvessels/capillaries limit drug delivery to tumors by forming a blood-brain
tumor barrier (BTB). The BTB overexpresses ATP-sensitive potassium (K ATP ) channels that …

Calcium-dependent potassium channels as a target protein for modulation of the blood-brain tumor barrier.

NS Ningaraj, M Rao, KL Black - Drug news & perspectives, 2003 - europepmc.org
Even though the blood-brain tumor barrier (BTB) is more permeable than the blood-brain
barrier (BBB), the BTB still significantly restricts the delivery of anticancer drugs to brain tumors. …

…, Y Zhang, T Bhavsar, C Ho, M Rao… - The American journal …, 2020 - journals.lww.com
In patients with multiple myeloma, plasmablastic transformation in the bone marrow is rare
and associated with poor outcomes. The significance of discordant extramedullary …

Digoxin toxicity with normal digoxin and serum potassium levels: beware of magnesium, the hidden malefactor

MPR Rao, P Panduranga, K Sulaiman… - The Journal of Emergency …, 2013 - Elsevier
Background In recent years, digoxin use has been on the decline, with decreased incidence
of digoxin toxicity. Hence, digoxin toxicity, when it occurs, remains an elusive diagnosis to …
