Cystoid macular edema (CME) is a condition that involves the macula, causing painless vision loss. In this paper, we report a case of niacin-induced bilateral cystoid macular edema (CME) in a middle-age woman taking low dose of niacin (18 mg of nicotinic acid). Optical coherence tomography (OCT)
A study was made of the functional activity of platelets, plasmatic coagulation and fibrinolysis in patients with late radiation disorders of the blood and lymph flow during treatment with vasodilative drugs: nicotinic acid and midocalm. These drugs tend to decrease the functional activity of
Disorders in the system of blood aggregation state control (BASC) reflects the severity of OPH-gestosis (edema, proteinuria, hypertension). The duration of the therapeutic effect of the applied antithrombotics has not been studied essentially. The parameters and duration of the effective responses
BACKGROUND
Paralepistopsis acromelalga, formerly known as Clitocybe acromelalga, is a rare poisonous mushroom. The mycotoxins in this mushroom cause symptoms resembling those of erythromelalgia; however, its pathogenesis remains unclear. In this report, a patient who received nicotinic acid
OBJECTIVE
Our objective is to study the role of cutaneous Langerhans cells on a mouse model of nicotinic acid-induced vasodilatation.
METHODS
Nicotinic acid-induced vasodilatation was studied in the mouse ear by laser Doppler flowmetry prior to and at intervals after Langerhans cells depletion by
Cystoid macular edema is a known side effect of different systemic and local medications. Nicotinic acid used as a hypolipemiant agent can cause cystoid macular edema. Local adrenergic antiglaucomatous drugs as well as prostaglandin analogs can induce cystoid macular edema especially if other risk
Although in vitro studies have shown that nicotinic acid inhibits some aspects of the inflammatory response, a reduced number of in vivo studies have investigated this activity. To the best of our knowledge, the effects induced by nicotinic acid in models of nociceptive and inflammatory pain are not
Experiments are reported upon young rhesus monkeys which were given a diet essentially the same as the Goldberger black tongue-producing diet, supplemented in various ways. Those receiving the unsupplemented diet developed the syndrome characterized by leucopenia, anemia, gingivitis, diarrhea, and
Acanthosis nigricans is a reaction pattern to over a dozen different causes. The skin, most classic in the axilla, is dark, soft, velvet-like with fine folding and papillae. The mechanism of this skin change is decreased viscosity of extracellular matrix (ECM) combined with mechanical extrusion of
Pellagra is the result of increased viscosity of extracellular matrix (ECM). The skin changes in pellagra localize at sites of sun exposure or trauma because the mediators which are released cannot diffuse from the area. Edema is reported as the first clinical and microscopic change. Changes in the
In 94% of the patients with dermatitis herpetiformis, a locally applied ointment with an ester of nicotinic acid (Trafuril) induced an abnormal reaction with erythema, edema, papules, and often vesicles. The appearance of the reaction to Trafuril is similar to DH lesions. It differs markedly from
