taxus/vomiting

BACKGROUND Yew (Taxus baccata) is a conifer known to be toxic since ancient times. Taxine A and taxine B, the toxic alkaloids of Taxus, block cardiac sodium and calcium channels causing nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, cardiac arrhythmias, respiratory distress, coma, seizures, and death in yew

Poison center (PC) management of toxic berry ingestions may include recommendations to administer syrup of ipecac (SI) regardless of the number of berries ingested. We investigated whether the routine use of SI in the home management of asymptomatic single or few (< 6) berry ingestions may be

A late phase II clinical trial of RP56976 (docetaxel), derived from Taxus baccata was performed to evaluate anti-tumour activity, time to progression and clinical toxicity in patients with advanced or recurrent breast cancer. The patients, between 15 and 80 years old with performance status (PS) of

OBJECTIVE To report the use of a drug-eluting stent (DES) for treatment of symptomatic in-stent restenosis (ISR) in the superior mesenteric artery (SMA). METHODS A 79-year-old woman suffering from chronic renal failure and needing dialysis was admitted for vomiting, postprandial abdominal pain, and

Taxol is a plant product derived from the western yew, Taxus brevifolia. We have conducted a phase I clinical study of Taxol used intravenously daily for 5 days at 3-week intervals. The starting dose was 5 mg/m2 daily, and the highest dose used was 40 mg/m2 daily for 5 days. The daily dosage of

N-Debenzoyl-N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-10-deacytyl taxol (Taxotere, RP 56976) is a semisynthetic analogue of taxol, prepared from a noncytotoxic precursor extracted from the needles of the European yew tree (Taxus baccata L.). It has a broad spectrum of antitumor activity against a variety of

Taxol is a novel taxane derivative obtained from the bark of the Pacific yew, Taxus brevifolia, which has demonstrated substantial antitumor activity in early clinical trials. Intensive research efforts were necessary to overcome both supply problems and hypersensitivity reactions to the drug and

Paclitaxel is a plant product isolated from the bark of the Western yew (Taxus brevifolia) that promotes the formation and stabilization of microtubules. This leads to growth arrest in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle. Paclitaxel has demonstrated significant antineoplastic activity in different
