The influence of allopurinol on urinary purine loss after repeated sprint exercise in man.
The influence of allopurinol on urinary purine loss was examined in 7 active male subjects (age 24.9 +/- 3.0 years, weight 82.8 +/- 8.3 kg, V O2peak 48.1 +/- 6.9 mL.kg(-1).min(-1)). These subjects performed, in random order, a trial with 5 days of prior ingestion of a placebo or allopurinol. Each trial consisted of eig...

Effect of high-dose continuous albuterol nebulization on clinical variables in children with status asthmaticus.
Continuous albuterol nebulization is generally administered at 2.5-20 mg/hr at most centers. We examined the effect of high-dose (75 or 150 mg/hr) albuterol on clinical variables in children with status asthmaticus. Retrospective analysis of inpatient medical records and prospectively collected computerized PICU respir...

Impact of ticagrelor and aspirin versus clopidogrel and aspirin in symptomatic patients with peripheral arterial disease: Thrombus burden assessed by optical coherence tomography.
To compare OCT identified white thrombus decline, neointimal hyperplasia and clinical outcomes of patients treated with ticagrelor plus aspirin with those patients treated with clopidogrel plus aspirin after peripheral interventions. Ticagrelor is a potent platelet inhibitor. In patients with coronary artery disease, t...

Helicobacter pylori eradication with proton pump inhibitor-based triple therapies and re-treatment with ranitidine bismuth citrate-based triple therapy.
It has been suggested that short-term triple therapy comprising a proton pump inhibitor, plus clarithromycin and amoxycillin be used as first choice in treating H. pylori infection, while eradication failure patients should be further treated with a quadruple therapy. Nevertheless, conflicting results have been reporte...

Gemcitabine, vinorelbine and prednisone for refractory or relapsed aggressive lymphoma, results of a phase II single center study.
The optimum therapy for patients with relapsed or refractory aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) not qualifying for platinum-based and/or high-dose chemotherapy is not known. We conducted a prospective phase II study evaluating a regimen consisting of gemcitabine (1 g/m2, days 1 and 8), vinorelbine (30 mg/m2, days...

The hyperactive child syndrome: peripheral sympathetic nervous system function and the effect of d-amphetamine.
We evaluated sympathetic nervous system function in medication-free hyperactive children by measuring plasma levels of norepinephrine (NE) and dopamine-beta-hydroxylase and then comparing the effects of two therapeutics doses of d-amphetamine to placebo in these patients. The medication-free hyperactive patients and co...

Making moves: Transitioning R-EPOCH to the ambulatory setting.
Ambulatory administration of chemotherapy provides benefit to patients and institutions alike. We hypothesized that transitioning rituximab, etoposide, prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin (R-EPOCH) from an inpatient to ambulatory setting would reduce inpatient bed days and overall healthcare costs. T...

Admissions for hepatitis B reactivation in patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy remain unchanged from 1999 to 2014.
Reactivation of hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication in patients with chronic or past HBV infection receiving immunosuppressive therapy (IST) can be prevented through HBV screening and prophylactic antiviral therapy. We aimed to determine the occurrence of severe HBV reactivation secondary to IST in the era of HBV nucle...
