OBJECTIVE
Treatment with metamizole (dipyrone) has steadily increased in Germany over the last decade. The consequences of this increase for metamizole-induced agranulocytosis (MIA) are unclear. The present study addressed this topic using data from the Berlin Case-Control Surveillance
Omeprazole has been marketed in France since 1989, for the healing of peptic ulcers, erosive reflux esophagitis and the Zollinger Ellison syndrome. It is a proton pump inhibitor which inhibits the acid secretion in the stomach. In the majority of the clinical trials, omeprazole has been found to be
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the occurrence and clinical characteristics of dapsone-related adverse drug reactions (ADRs) among leprosy patients who underwent multidrug therapy (MDT) from 2010 to 2013 in the western region of Nepal.
METHODS
A retrospective review was carried out in the rehabilitation
A 35-year-old patient with a previous history of persistent episodic fever, sore throat, myalgia, and cephalgia presented for evaluation of pancytopenia. He had no recent travel history, except for a stay in Italy 1 year prior to admission and in Spain several years in the A phase I trial of the uridine analog 3-deazauridine was undertaken in 44 adults with solid tumors. The drug was given as a 5-day continuous infusion repeated every 3-4 weeks. The dose-limiting toxic effect was granulocytopenia. Patients with prior nitrosourea therapy or extensive irradiation also
A comprehensive overview of the clinical aspects of lithium therapy is presented. Emphasis is placed on recent developments regarding the clinical uses of Li2CO3 in non-psychiatric conditions. The established efficacy of the drug in the treatment and prophylaxis of mania and bipolar affective
Cases of fungal infections are being encountered more often in clinical practice. The factors associated with a high risk of mycoses include, among others, corticosteroidotherapy, the administration antibiotics with wide spectrum of antibacterial properties, neutropenia, neoplasms. Fungi may play a
Interferon was administered intravenously on 3 consecutive days each week for 3 consecutive weeks in doses escalated each week from 10 to 20 to 30 megaunits (MU)/m2/day. Nine adult patients were treated, each of whom had undergone subtotal resection of a supratentorial anaplastic glioma within 3
Listeriosis occurred in two patients, a 46-year-old woman and a 41-year-old man, in the course of an underlying malignant disease. The woman had a metastasizing pancreatic apudoma, requiring partial pancreas resection with splenectomy. After the end of cytostatic treatment she developed headaches
CONCLUSIONS
Quetiapine, a dibenzothiazepine derivative, is one of several new 'atypical' antipsychotic agents. In preclinical studies, the drug was predicted to have antipsychotic efficacy and a low propensity to induce extrapyramidal effects. Quetiapine has been shown to be effective in the short
Quetiapine is an atypical antipsychotic with clozapine-like pharmacology but without associated agranulocytosis. We report our complete experience with quetiapine for the treatment of drug-induced psychosis (DIP) in Parkinson's disease (PD). Thirty-five patients with PD and DIP aged 75 years (range,
