Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) is a relatively common disorder and manifests with extraoesophageal symptoms, such as dental erosions (DE), cough, laryngitis, asthma, and oral soft- and hard-tissue pathologies. This study aimed (1) to identify oral soft and hard-tissue changes OBJECTIVE
Prompted by recent demonstrations that all-trans-retinoic acid (all-trans-RA) had efficacy in acute promyelocytic leukemia, a phase I trial of all-trans-RA was conducted to establish the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) before phase II testing.
METHODS
Forty patients with a histologic or
Studies have suggested that both natural and synthetic retinoids have extensive chemopreventive activity against a variety of carcinogens in vivo and in vitro. We have previously shown that growth of human breast cancer cells can be inhibited by retinoids, and retinoic acid-binding proteins have
CI-980 is a synthetic mitotic inhibitor that binds to the colchicine binding site of tubulin. It demonstrates broad activity against human and murine tumor models and shows no cross resistance with tumor models whose mechanism of resistance is mediated by P-glycoprotein (MDR-1). A phase I study was
BACKGROUND
The most important endogenous causes of erosion are eating disorders, gastro-oesophageal reflux (GERD), alcoholism and syndromes involving lowered saliva secretion.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this work is to study a patient with symptoms of somatoform autonomic dysfunction, in which significant
Various signalling pathways can confer the malignant phenotype to a cell. Ras signalling proteins have been found to play an important role in controlling cellular growth. Raf-1 is a protein kinase that exerts its effects downstream of Ras in the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway and is thus
OBJECTIVE
To determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) of all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) administered on an intermittent oral schedule with interferon-alpha2a (IFN-alpha2a) in children with refractory cancer, and whether the marked reduction in plasma ATRA concentrations observed with chronic daily
METHODS
Female, 17 FINAL DIAGNOSIS: Acute kidney injury Symptoms: Flank pain • nausea • vomiting
METHODS
Isotretinoin Clinical Procedure: Acne treatment Specialty: Nephrology Objective: Unknown etiology.
BACKGROUND
Isotretinoin is widely used for the treatment of acne that is unresponsive to topical
Retinoids have anti-tumor activity in several malignant and premalignant conditions. Since Kaposi's sarcoma is regulated by steroid hormones both in vivo and in vitro, we hypothesized that retinoids may have anti-tumor effects in AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma. Thus, 27 patients with mucocutaneous,
BACKGROUND
Acne vulgaris, a chronic inflammatory disease of the pilosebaceous unit associated with socialisation and mental health problems, may affect more than 80% of teenagers. Isotretinoin is the only drug that targets all primary causal factors of acne; however, it may cause adverse
Palmoplantar pustulosis is a chronic inflammatory disease in which sterile, relapsing pustules appear on the palms and soles, possibly in conjunction with other symptoms. The previous Cochrane Review on this topic was published in 2006, before biological treatments were extensively
