phospholipid/nausea

Anti Phospholipid Syndrome (APS) is a relatively new conception of syndrome complex first noticed in 1983. It may be primary or secondary to other diseases like SLE, RA, Systemic sclerosis, behchet's syndrome, temporal arteritis, sjogren's syndrome psoriatic arthropathy etc. Clinical manifestations

Patients with acute viral hepatitis B, A and mixed hepatitis B + C were treated in two independent clinics with phosphogliv--a new hepatoprotective drug based on polyunsaturated phosphatidylcholine and glycyrrhizic acid salt. Phosphogliv removed some symptoms of intoxication (nausea, weakness,

BM 41.440 (1-hexadecylmercapto-2-methoxymethyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphocholine) is a new thioether phospholipid, which has been shown to possess antineoplastic, antimetastatic, anti-invasive and immunomodulating properties in several tumor models. The mechanism whereby this compound exerts its direct

Many attempts have been made to achieve good selectivity to targeted tumor cells by preparing specialized carrier agents that are therapeutically profitable for anticancer therapy. Among these, liposomes are the most studied colloidal particles thus far applied in medicine and in particular in

Acute renal infarction usually occurs in patients with severe atherosclerosis or valvular heart disease. We here report a 42-year Saudi male who presented with severe abdominal pain nausea and vomiting associated with hematuria, after heavy smoking of marijuana. Computed tomography abdomen revealed

OBJECTIVE To assess the tolerance and acceptability of a nutrition supplement in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), to monitor changes in dietary intake, and to evaluate nutritional status. METHODS Subjects were their own controls for this 3-month, prospective, open study. Acceptability and

A clinical study was designed to evaluate the tolerance of cancer patients to liposome-associated doxorubicin (L-DXR). The liposomes used contain phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, cholesterol, and DXR intercalated in the lipid bilayer, and have a mean size in the range of 0.3-0.5 microns.

OBJECTIVE To compare conventional amphotericin B (c-amp B) and liposomal amphotericin B (L-AMP-LRC-1-India) in patients with systemic fungal infection in open, randomized, comparative, laboratory blind, phase III safety and efficacy study. METHODS Formulation of liposomal amphotericin B -

Nausea and/or vomiting in pregnancy (emesis gravidarum) is a very common event. The specific etiology of this disorder is still unknown. In this study we examined serum lipid and lipoprotein concentrations in 98 healthy pregnant women in early and late pregnancy. Sixty of these women complained of

The annexins are water soluble proteins possessing a hydrophilic surface, which belong to a family of proteins which (a) bind ('annex') both calcium and phospholipids, and (b) form voltage-dependent calcium channels within planar lipid bilayers. Annexins types are diverse (94 annexins in 45 species)

BACKGROUND Herein, we present a case of seemingly unprovoked portal vein thrombosis (PVT) occurring in the context of an acute cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and prolonged debilitating fatigue. UNASSIGNED A 46-year-old male airline pilot presented with a 2 week history of abdominal pain, nausea,

BACKGROUND Compared with free drug, sterically stabilized liposomal drug has prolonged circulation time and, thereby, higher tumor selectivity and antitumor activity. The stability in plasma is an important consideration in the formulation of clinically useful liposomal drug. A Phase I study of a

Chemotherapy and radiotherapy offer little benefit to patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) has anticancer effects both in vitro and in animal models. The dose of EPA that can be administered to cancer patients has previously been limited by the low purity of

The seeds of Ricinus communis Linn, RICOM-1013-J, administered as a single oral dose of 2.3-2.5 g once per 12 months protected against pregnancy in 50 women volunteers for a period of one year. The antifertility and contraceptive efficacy of the seed was demonstrated in this study. Clinical

Topical treatment of skin metastases with a cytotoxic agent is attractive for its easy self-administration and absence of major systemic interference. Miltefosine exerts its cytotoxicity by acting on cell membrane phospholipids and can be administered topically. Twenty breast cancer patients with
