Treatment failure of vaginal trichomoniasis in clinical practice.
We have conducted a retrospective study of treatment failure of Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) infection in a busy, urban genitourinary medicine clinic in Birmingham, UK, between 1998 and 2002. The prevalence of non-response to standard doses of metronidazole without any history of reinfection or nonadherence was 1.7% (28/...

Recent identification of several mechanisms by which statins decrease recruitment of monocytes and T cells into the arterial wall and inhibit both T-cell and B-cell activation and proliferation in vitro prompted us to study the immunomodulatory effects of statins. In this study, we examined the effect of simvastatin th...

Intraoperative prediction of cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury using urinary biomarkers of cell cycle arrest.
Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 2 (TIMP-2) and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) are postoperative urinary biomarkers of renal stress and acute kidney injury (AKI). We conducted this study to test the hypothesis that intraoperative concentrations of urinary [TIMP-2]·[IGFBP7] are associated wi...

Evaluation of Quality of Life, Functioning, Disability, and Work/School Productivity Following Treatment with an Extended-Release Hydrocodone Tablet Formulated with Abuse-Deterrence Technology: A 12-month Open-label Study in Patients with Chronic Pain.
This phase 3 study evaluated quality of life, functioning, and productivity after treatment with extended-release (ER) hydrocodone formulated with CIMA<sup>®</sup> Abuse-Deterrence Technology platform. Patients with chronic pain were rolled over from a 12-week placebo-controlled hydrocodone ER study or were newly enrol...

Gabapentin therapy improves heart rate variability in diabetic patients with peripheral neuropathy.
Diabetic cardiac neuropathy, which is characterized by reduced heart rate variability (HRV), frequently coexists with peripheral neuropathy. Gabapentin has been used for the treatment of diabetic neuropathy. We aimed to evaluate the possible effect of gabapentin treatment on autonomic function in patients with type 2 d...

Double-delayed intensification improves event-free survival for children with intermediate-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia: a report from the Children's Cancer Group.
Addition of a delayed-intensification (DI) phase after standard induction/consolidation therapy was previously shown to improve outcome for patients younger than 10 years of age with intermediate-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The current trial randomized 1204 patients to regimens containing a single DI phase...

Multivariate analysis of donor-specific versus random transfusion protocols in haploidentical living-related transplants.
A total of 127 haploidentical living-related transplants have been performed at our institution since March 1986. A donor-specific transfusion plus azathioprine protocol was used until July 1988 (n = 74) and a random transfusion (RT) protocol without AZA used thereafter (n = 53) in an effort to decrease risk of recipie...

The choice of timing for diuresis renography: the F + 0 method.
To investigate a method of diuresis renography where the radiopharmaceutical and frusemide (diuretic) are given simultaneously, in contrast to conventional renography which involves an intravenous injection with frusemide 20 min after administering the radiopharmaceutical (F + 20) or 15 min before (F - 15), with partic...

To investigate the necessity and safety of conversion from mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) to Azathioprine (AzA) in stable renal transplant patients. In a randomised open clinical trial, A total of 87 low-risk renal allograft recipients on triple immunosuppressive therapy (prednisone/MMF/cyclosporine) 6 months after transp...

Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of single oral doses of albuterol and its enantiomers in humans.
Albuterol (INN, salbutamol) is a beta 2-adrenergic receptor agonist widely used in the treatment of asthma. It is administered clinically as a racemic mixture, but only one enantiomer is active (eutomer) while the other (distomer) has been implicated in causing toxicity. This study used a chiral assay to compare the ph...

Intravenous immunoglobulin or high-dose methylprednisolone, with or without oral prednisone, for adults with untreated severe autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura: a randomised, multicentre trial.
Treatment of adults with autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura (AITP) is based more on individual experience than on results of controlled studies. We compared intravenous immunoglobulin with high-dose methylprednisolone in untreated adults with severe AITP and assessed efficacy of subsequent oral steroids compared with ...

Risk of postprocedural intracerebral hemorrhage in patients with ruptured cerebral aneurysms after treatment with antiplatelet agents.
Endovascular treatment of ruptured cerebral aneurysms frequently requires antiplatelet medication to prevent thromboembolism. This might raise concern regarding the risk of postprocedural hemorrhage (pH), e.g. from placement of intracranial probes. We explored the risk of PH associated with standard antiplatelet therap...

Predictors of antihypertensive drug responses: initial data from a placebo-controlled, randomized, cross-over study with four antihypertensive drugs (The GENRES Study).
Only a minority of hypertensive individuals is adequately controlled for their hypertension, partially because reliable predictors for efficient antihypertensive drug therapy are lacking. In a prospective, randomized, double-blind, cross-over, placebo-controlled study (The GENRES Study), 208 moderately hypertensive Fin...
