In this randomized, double-blind, parallel-group study, a commercially available human immunoglobulin-G product, IVIG, was compared with two test formulations: (1) IVIG-N, which is a nanofiltered formulation of IVIG, and (2) IVIG-L, which is a nanofiltered, liquid, ready-for-use IgG formulation
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the biologic interactions and toxicities of carboplatin combined with a 24-hour infusion of thymidine 75 mg/m(2) in a phase I trial.
METHODS
Thirty-two patients with cancer refractory to conventional therapy were treated. The first set of patients (n = 7) received thymidine
Aspirin (ASA) is one of the most widely used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. ASA has primarily been used to treat headaches, rheumatic pain, and inflammation, but its therapeutic effects have recently been demonstrated on a range of disorders, including those of the central nervous system. In
BACKGROUND
Long-term hypoxia (LTH) is an important stressor related to health and disease during development. At different time points from fetus to adult, we are exposed to hypoxic stress because of placental insufficiency, high-altitude residence, smoking, chronic anemia, pulmonary, and heart
BACKGROUND
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a debilitating fatigue illness that has unknown etiology and lacks an objective diagnostic marker.
OBJECTIVE
To examine the metabolic component of CFS to determine if practitioners can use serum NAD(P)H concentration measurements to monitor metabolism and
The rarely diagnosed persistent trigeminal artery (PTA) originates from the posterior bend or lateral wall of the intracavernous carotid artery and is the most common occurring type of remnant primitive fetal arteries. Even if PTA is uncommon, information and awareness about it could be of great
Nicorandil, a nicotinamide derivative, is an orally efficacious antianginal drug possessing a nitrate moiety in its chemical structure. This drug is an effective and well-tolerated treatment for various types of angina pectoris. Its general efficacy is similar to that of nitrates, with several

Niacin (also known as "vitamin B₃" or "vitamin PP") includes two vitamers (nicotinic acid and nicotinamide) giving rise to the coenzymatic forms nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP). The two coenzymes are required for
BACKGROUND
Inflammatory acne, particularly in post-adolescent women, is increasing in incidence. The most effective therapeutic modality for treatment of this type of acne has been the administration of oral tetracyclines. Long-term acne treatment with such drugs, however, is frequently accompanied
