Materials and Methods Seventeen patients on chronic hemodialysis (HD) treatment who had serum UA levels above 8.0  mg/dL and who were not receiving anti-hyperuricemic agents participated in the study. The current observations suggest that even relatively low doses of febuxostat, which is approved at a dose of 40  to 60  mg/day as the standard dose for the treatment of hyperuricemia with or without gouty arthritis in Japan, may also work effectively among chronic HD patients for reducing the serum UA to a level that has been arbitrarily proposed as a therapeutic target for hyperuricemia.7,11,12 The validity of the indications for urate- lowering agents among overall subjects with asymptomatic After the treatment with oral febuxostat (month(s)) keywords: chronic; disease; febuxostat; hyperuricemia; kidney; levels; patients; serum; stress; treatment cache: dti-1355.pdf plain text: dti-1355.txt item: #47 of 101 id: dti-1356 author: Roth, Bodil; Berntorp, Kerstin; Ohlsson, Bodil title: The Expression of Serum Antibodies Against Gonadotropin-releasing Hormone (GnRH1), Progonadoliberin-2, Luteinizing Hormone (LH), and Related Receptors in Patients with Gastrointestinal Dysfunction or Diabetes Mellitus date: 2014-11-10 words: 5557 flesch: 50 summary: As some of the patients with diabetes mellitus and gastrointestinal complaints had no pathological changes as found in the examinations (n  =  3), they were diagnosed as IBS patients.

Valacyclovir or acyclovir neurotoxicity commonly develops in patients with an impaired renal function, implying a role of a declined renal clearance–mediated accumulation of acyclovir and/or its metabolites in the bloodstream.3,4 Given that the renal clearance of acyclovir absolutely exceeds that of creati- nine, indicating that renal tubular secretion is actively involved in the elimination of the agent,1 it is not surprising that acyclo- vir can induce renal failure through precipitation within the tubular lumen, which leads to obstructive nephropathy.2,8 In rare instances, interstitial nephritis and direct tubular necrosis from acyclovir may also result in renal insufficiency.2,3,8 Alternatively, or in addition, the GFR may decline due to an acyclovir-mediated increase in the total renal vascular resist- ance with a reduction in the renal plasma flow.2,11,27 keywords: acyclovir; case; hyponatremia; levels; neurotoxicity; patient; renal; serum; sodium; treatment; valacyclovir cache: dti-1400.pdf plain text: dti-1400.txt item: #56 of 101 id: dti-1401 author: Avasarala, Jagannadha title: DRESS Syndrome and Daclizumab Failure-Were Potentially Dangerous Signs Missed in Clinical Trials date: 2018-06-29 words: 1753 flesch: 47 summary: This should serve as a cautionary tale for all clinicians who use “newer MS drugs” that have mushroomed in recent memory following a flurry of recent FDA approvals.

Psoriasis may occur in different forms, such as plaque pso- riasis (characterized by dry scaly patches), which represents 80%-90% of psoriasis cases; pustular psoriasis (contains pus- like fluid mainly infiltrated with white blood cells); erythro- dermic psoriasis (EP, characterized by exfoliation of fine scaly skin with pain and itching); guttate psoriasis (characterized by drop-like dots); and inverse psoriasis (affects the flexure surfaces and characterized by smooth inflamed lesions) (1). keywords: crossref; erythrodermic; il-17a; patients; psoriasis; pubmed; secukinumab; treatment cache: dti-2355.pdf plain text: dti-2355.txt item: #86 of 101 id: dti-2403 author: Hammar, Oskar; Veress, Bela; Montgomery, Agneta; Ohlsson, Bodil title: Expression of Luteinizing Hormone Receptor in the Gastrointestinal Tract in Patients with and without Dysmotility date: 2012-12-31 words: 3499 flesch: 49 summary: Thus, continuous stimulation by leu- prolide exerts antagonistic GnRH effects, leading to absence of LH secretion and stimulation.9,10 The pres- ent finding of LH receptors on enteric neurons gives a morphological explanation to this hypothesis, and absence of LH stimulation on the neural receptors could explain the reduction of symptoms.11 At the same time as continuous stimulation of leu- prolide acetate improves patients with gastrointestinal complaints,7,8 repeated intermittent treatment with the analog buserelin in the setting of repeated in vitro fertilization (IVF) has been linked to the development of CIPO in one patient.17 Gonadotropin- releasing hormone and its receptor have been found on enteric neurons,17,27 why the effect evoked by GnRH analogs may be direct on enteric neurons as well, in addition to an effect on the hypothalamic-pituitary- gonadal axis. However, presence of LH receptors in the gastrointestinal tract has never been described. keywords: bowel; cells; dysmotility; gastrointestinal; group; hormone; patients; range; receptor; tract cache: dti-2403.pdf plain text: dti-2403.txt item: #87 of 101 id: dti-2422 author: Phungoen, Pariwat; Sarunyaparit, Jessada; Apiratwarakul, Korakot; Wonglakorn, Lumyai; Meesing, Atibordee; Sawanyawisuth, Kittisak title: The association of ESBL Escherichia coli with mortality in patients with Escherichia coli bacteremia at the emergency department date: 2022-10-17 words: 4355 flesch: 58 summary: Discussion The prevalence of ESBL E. coli bacteremia at the ED in this study was 3.29%, which is lower than previously reported in community settings (6.7%-9.5%) (10,11,16).
