The debrisoquine metabolic phenotype and DNA-based assays: implications of misclassification for the association of lung cancer and the debrisoquine metabolic phenotype.
Debrisoquine is an antihypertensive drug that is metabolized by cytochrome P4502D6. Deficient metabolism is inherited as an autosomal recessive condition. We previously reported in a case-control study that extensive metabolizers of debrisoquine were at greater risk of lung cancer compared to poor and intermediate meta...

Stage-adapted treatment of HIV-associated Hodgkin lymphoma: results of a prospective multicenter study.
Although the outcome of patients with HIV-related Hodgkin lymphoma (HIV-HL) has markedly improved since the introduction of combined antiretroviral therapy, standard therapy is still poorly defined. This prospective study investigates a stage- and risk-adapted treatment strategy in patients with HIV-HL. Patients with e...

Carvedilol does not modulate moderate exercise-induced hyperkalemia in hemodialysis patients.
Non-selective beta-adrenergic blockers may cause hyperkalemia in patients with end-stage renal failure. In contrast, alpha-adrenergic blockade has been found to decrease the hyperkalemic effect of physical exercise in healthy subjects, although we were unable to confirm this effect in hemodialysis patients. In a crosso...

Activity and safety of combination chemotherapy with methotrexate, ifosfamide, l-asparaginase and dexamethasone (MILD) for refractory lymphoid malignancies: a pilot study.
Optimal salvage chemotherapy has not been established for lymphoid malignancy, which is refractory to the conventional cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone regimen. To explore an effective regimen, we conducted a phase I pilot study of combination chemotherapy with methotrexate, ifosfamide, l-aspa...

Efficacy of low dose atorvastatin in diabetic dyslipidaemia.
Coronary heart disease (CHD), the commonest cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes, requires multipronged approach for management, including especially treating dyslipidaemia with statins. We conducted this study to demonstrate that low dose (10 mg) atorvastatin is effective in reducing LDL c...

Long-term Use of Inhaled Corticosteroids in COPD and the Risk of Fracture.
It is uncertain whether long-term use of inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs), widely used to treat COPD, increases the risk of fracture, particularly in women, in view of the postmenopausal risks. We assessed whether long-term ICS use in patients with COPD increases the risk of hip or upper extremity fractures, and examined...

Direct hospital resource utilization and costs of treating patients with multiple myeloma in Southwest Sweden: a 5-year retrospective analysis.
Approximately 570 patients are diagnosed with multiple myeloma (MM) in Sweden each year. Few studies have estimated the cost of treatment for these patients. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively investigate the direct hospital resource utilization and costs associated with the treatment of patients with MM ...

Growth during one year of treatment with fluticasone propionate or sodium cromoglycate in children with asthma.
The aim of this study was to compare accurately measured growth over 12 months in asthmatic children treated with either fluticasone propionate (FP) 50 micrograms twice daily (b.i.d.) or sodium cromoglycate (SCG) 20 mg four times daily (q.i.d.). After a 2-week run-in, asthmatic children aged 4-10 years from 15 UK cente...

Safety and efficacy of a calcineurin inhibitor avoidance regimen in pediatric renal transplantation.
Thirty-four children were entered into a pilot trial of calcineurin inhibitor avoidance after living-donor kidney transplantation, the CN-01 study. Patients were treated with anti-CD25 mAb, prednisone, mycophenolate mofetil, and sirolimus. Twenty patients were maintained on the protocol for up to 3 yr of follow-up. One...

Combination Therapy of Metformin and Statin May Decrease Hepatocellular Carcinoma Among Diabetic Patients in Asia.
Previous studies have shown that metformin or statins may decrease hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in diabetic patients. Accordingly, this article evaluates whether combination therapy may further reduce HCC. Newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients, excluding those with history of malignancy prior to the ...
