BACKGROUND
Previous biochemotherapy regimens for metastatic melanoma have required attenuated dosages of interleukin 2 (IL-2) that may have compromised efficacy.
METHODS
In a phase 2 study, the authors tested sequential temozolomide (75 mg/m2 per day orally for 3 weeks) followed by high-dose, IL-2
Acute mountain sickness is a pathologic reaction as a result of bad adaptation to high altitudes (greater than 2.500 meters). The main symptoms are headache, nausea, vomits, and insomnia. When severe it can produce oliguria, retinal hemorrhage, ataxia and sometimes coma. Its etiology is not well
BACKGROUND
Unintentional ingestions of dilute (<7.5%) cleaning solutions containing ammonium chloride typically do not cause serious harm. We present a case of an intentional ingestion of a dilute ammonium chloride solution resulting in significant morbidity.
METHODS
A 60-year-old woman with bipolar
The case of a 74-year-old woman with a carotid-cavernous fistula is reported. She was admitted to hospital with oliguria and generalized edema. After improvement of the edematous condition she suddenly presented intense, pulsatile, frontal cephalea. It was more intense on the right side and was
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is ovarian enlargement secondary to hormones overstimulating ovarian growth. It can be associated with a spectrum of other clinical findings, including ascites, hemoconcentration, hypercoagulability, and electrolyte imbalances. OHSS most commonly occurs as a
Vertical and medial nephroptosis was assessed on 60 consecutive excretory urographic examinations. Ptosis, both vertical and medial, was seen more commonly in females, and vertical ptosis was more frequent than medial ptosis. In our series there was no significant evidence of predominance on the
BACKGROUND
The recent focus is on the increase in the burden of falciparum cases with a varied spectrum of presentation and outcome, especially in developing countries like India. This study was undertaken to analyze the trend and manifestations of falciparum malaria in a tertiary care
Sixty cases of P. falciparum and 165 cases of P. vivax were studied clinically along with species identification of parasite after examination of the blood slide by experts at Calcutta. It was observed that malaria had been changing its clinical profile. The classic paroxysm is evident only in 40%
Azathioprine is used in a variety of dermatological conditions. However, because of its side-effect profile, azathioprine is limited for use in patients with severe disease. An unpredictable, rare and potentially fatal side-effect of azathioprine is the development of a hypersensitivity reaction,
We report ophthalmological findings in 15 cases of nephropathia epidemica. The patients, 13 men and 2 women, were 20 to 62 (mean 30) years of age. The onset of the disease was characterized by high fever, nausea, headache, abdominal pain, backache, somnolence, red throat, proteinuria, and oliguria.
Cancer during pregnancy is rare. However, even during pregnancy, there is the possibility of recurrence for the patients. We present the case of recurrence of ovarian cancer during pregnancy regardless of primary staging surgery performed in the first trimester of the same pregnancy. The patient was

The major syndromes of mushroom poisoning can be divided by presentation timing: Early syndromes (symptom onset <6 hrs after ingestion) have little probability to cause organ damage. Epigastric pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea occur in most cases and treatment includes initial gastrointestinal
Altitude sickness is a clinical syndrome that occurs with abrupt ascents to altitudes of 3000 metres and above. Symptoms include headache, malaise, fatigue, dizziness, anorexia, nausea and vomiting, and oliguria. At higher altitudes more severe illness resulting from pulmonary oedema or cerebral
Patients with pain after operation received morphine hydrochloride intrathecally in doses of 0.02 mg kg-1 (n = 30) and 0.2 mg kg-1 (n = 30). The high-dose group showed slightly longer-lasting and more potent analgesia than the low-dose group. Sedation, decreases in heart rate and systolic arterial
