Approximately 60% of those affected with relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) enter a SPMS stage after a median interval of 10 to 15 years, where disability accumulates gradually in the absence of relapses. A smaller proportion (15%), run a progressive course from onset (primary progressive (PP) MS). The
Background: Heart failure (HF) affects 1-2% of those under 70 years, and 10-20% of those over 70 years in developed countries; approximately 900,000 people in the UK suffer with HF. Despite several promising pre-clinical targets, clinical translation has been disappointing, with very few successful
Pomegranate has anti-oxidative capacity. It might reduce symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, Drug-induced hepatitis, and might prevent deterioration of cardiovascular diseases and cancer progression. But, the beneficial effects of pomegranate on hearing impairment was still unclear.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a nonmalignant enlargement of the prostate. Symptoms related to BPH are one of the most common problems in older men. Histological evidence of BPH is found in more than is approximately 10% for men in their 30s, 20% for men in their 40s, reaches 50% to 60% for
While recent research indicates that conventional MRI, advanced echocardiography (global longitudinal strain and 3D) and serum biomarkers can detect CV injury early after receipt of Chemotherapy, these methods require lengthy and difficult examinations that are not routinely executed in community
1. Specific Aims There is general agreement that although statin-treatment increases incidence of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in patients with elevated plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) concentrations, the benefits of statin treatment significantly outweigh this untoward side-effect.

This 12 month double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel group efficacy and safety study will enroll 400 adult diabetic subjects with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) to investigate the effect of diepalrestat (BNV-222) 150 mg, 300 mg, or placebo on MNCV and patients' perception of
Statins, a class of hydroxyl methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase inhibitors that lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, are commonly prescribed to patients with the metabolic syndrome or those with multiple cardiovascular disease risk factors when lifestyle changes fail to achieve LDL targets to
The investigators have demonstrated previously that the calcium channel antagonists (CCAs) verapamil, nifedipine, and diltiazem can block in vitro and in vivo meningioma growth at clinically relevant doses (Jensen, Lee et al. 1995; Jensen, Petr et al. 2000; Jensen and Wurster 2001). However, only
Background:
Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) or Kennedy's disease is a slowly progressive, X-linked motor neuron disease for which there is currently no treatment. It is caused by a mutation in the androgen receptor that results in a polyglutamine repeat expansion. Recent animal studies
