A prospective trial was performed to better assess the risk of nausea and vomiting and the rescue value of tropisetron (TRO), a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, in 88 patients undergoing fractionated radiotherapy to the abdomen or to large supradiaphragmatic fields and failing a first anti-emetic trial
The effect of transdermally administered scopolamine (TTS-scopolamine) (2.5 cm2 surface area, one and two patches) and dimenhydrinate (100 mg) on experimental motion sickness was examined in 16 healthy volunteers in a randomized double-blind study. Nausea was induced by Coriolis manoeuvre and
Intravaginal insertion of a 10 cm2 silastic device with an 0.5% concentration of 15(S)-15-methyl-prostaglandin F2alpha methyl ester alone successfully induced abortion in 27 of 48 patients in the midtrimester and in an additional 11 patients with a concomitant infusion of oxytocin. The mean abortion
Fifty patients with chronic plaque psoriasis were treated with trioxsalen bath PUVA and 43 patients with oral methoxsalen PUVA. The two treatment regimens gave similar results; 75% and 77% of the patients had excellent or good clearing and a follow-up of one year revealed relapses in 61% and 58% of
A 53-year-old woman presented with persistent edema and pain of the metacarpophalangeal and proximal interphalangeal joints and the wrist, knee and ankle joints, with more recent intermittent nausea and vomiting. Treatment for rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis was ineffective. No clinical
Following a standardized general anaesthetic for total abdominal hysterectomy, patients received either patient controlled analgesia (PCA) with morphine 1 mg/ml (group M, n = 33) or morphine 1 mg/ml plus ketamine 2 mg/ml (group K, n = 37) for 48 hours in a randomized, double-blind fashion. In 43
Fractionated radiotherapy of malignancies in the abdomen induces nausea and vomiting in approximately 50% of the patients. During abdominal irradiation the damaged gastrointestinal mucosa releases 5-HT with ensuing activation of 5-HT3 receptors which may explain the nausea and vomiting. Ondansetron
OBJECTIVE
A prospective observational multicenter trial was carried out to assess the incidence, pattern, and prognostic factors of radiation-induced emesis (RIE), and evaluate the use of antiemetic drugs in radiation oncology clinical practice.
METHODS
Fifty-one Italian radiation oncology centers
BACKGROUND
The absorption of drug through skin avoids many side effects of oral route like gastric irritation, nausea, systemic toxicity etc and thus improves patient compliance. Naproxen sodium (NPRS) is one of the potent NSAID agents.
OBJECTIVE
The present study was aimed to develop and evaluate
OBJECTIVE
Severe alcohol intolerance characterized by flushing, headache, nausea, and tachycardia even after very modest oral alcohol consumption, is common among East Asians (Chinese, Japanese, Koreans) and has been associated with the accumulation of acetaldehyde resulting from genetic
BACKGROUND
Bath-PUVA-photochemotherapy has become a useful alternative to oral PUVA therapy due to a number of advantages over systemic PUVA, for example, no ophthalmologic risk and nausea, and a lower cumulative UVA doses. However, its major disadvantage is the logistical requirement for bath tubs
Since 1974, phototherapy with psoralen and ultraviolet A (UVA) has been used successfully for the treatment of psoriasis. However, undesirable side effects, including phototoxicity, nausea, stomach pain and headaches, have led investigators to develop new psoralen compounds. 5-Methoxypsoralen
BACKGROUND
Several drugs that primarily act on gamma-aminobutyrate or muscarinic receptors have been used to treat downbeat nystagmus (DBN) syndrome despite their having only moderate success and causing several side effects that limit their effectiveness. These drugs were tested under the
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to determine the safety and effectiveness of a transdermal fentanyl delivery system for the relief of pain following abdominal surgery.
METHODS
In a nonblinded, noncrossover, placebo-controlled study, 40 ASA I and II patients of both sexes, 18-69 years of age, who
A paired-comparison, multicenter study examined differences in patient and physician preferences for two transdermal nitroglycerin delivery systems, Nitro-Dur Transdermal Infusion System and Transderm-Nitro Transdermal Therapeutic System. For two weeks, 72 patients with angina pectoris wore both
