Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), formerly known as Wegener's granulomatosis, a vasculitis affecting small and medium sized vessels usually affects the upper and lower respiratory tract, the kidneys, and the eyes. Neurologic manifestation in central nervous system (CNS) is less frequent than
Emergencies in HIV-infected patients are a common complication which may occur at any stage of the disease. Opportunistic infections may lead to irreversible damages of organs such as the brain, the eye or the lung. With the widely use of antiretroviral therapy side effects of reverse transcriptease
Gabexate mesilate (GM), a potent synthetic proteinase inhibitor has been evaluated as an alternative anticoagulant to heparin for haemodialysis. GM haemodialysis was achieved at a dose of 1,600mg/hr. GM was found to be dialysable and so rapidly degraded that dialysis with GM anticoagulation was
The basic proteinase inhibitor from bovine organs, aprotinin, was first identified in 1930 and its effect on enzyme and other biological systems has since been extensively studied. Aprotinin can only be administered intravenously and has a half-life of about 2 hours. Its administration at the start
Coronary arteritis is an uncommon cause of sudden death in non-atherosclerotic coronary diseases, and is mostly associated with systemic vasculitis or systemic autoimmune diseases; therefore, sudden death due to isolated coronary arteritis rarely occurs. The case described in this report is that of
It has been demonstrated that the traditional Chinese medicine rikkunshito, ameliorates anorexia in several types of human cancer and attenuates lung injury by inhibiting neutrophil infiltration. The current study investigated the clinical and hematological effects of rikkunshito and its underlying
Thyrotropin (thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH))-producing pituitary adenomas have been known to be quite variable in clinical features covering from typical functioning TSH-producing adenomas (FTSHomas) associated with hyperthyroidism to clinically silent TSH cell adenomas (STAs) that are apparently
