We have previously reported the reduction of cicatricial pemphigoid orodynia with minocycline. Tetracycline combined with high dose nicotinamide has also been beneficial in a number of cutaneous immunological disorders. We now report a series of eight cases in whom further subjective or clinical

Persistent trigeminal artery (PTA) originates from the posterior bend or lateral wall of the intra-cavernous carotid artery and is the most common occurring type of remnant primitive fetal arteries. In literature, there is limited number of reports on migraine-cephalgia (MC) associated with

OBJECTIVE To study the efficacy of tetracycline (or doxycycline) and nicotinamide in the treatment of less extensive bullous pemphigoid. METHODS An open trial of 11 patients with bullous pemphigoid. Treatment was initiated with tetracycline 1.5-2 g/day and nicotinamide 1.5-2 g/day and gradually

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.

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
