Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a non-scarring disease with a progressive thinning of the scalp hair that follows a characteristic pattern. AGA, the most common form of hair loss in men, involves the progressive loss of visible pigmented terminal hair on the scalp in response to circulating
Lung cancer is the most common cancer, accounting for 20% of cancer-related deaths worldwide. In 2015, an estimated 610,200 patients (22 per cent of cancer-related deaths) died of lung cancer. Non-small cell lung cancer ((NSCLC)) accounts for 80% to 85% of lung cancer. Most patients are locally
Chemotherapy has life-threatening or distressing side effects such febrile neutropenia, infections, mucositis, nausea, vomiting, fatigue. Mucositis is defined as inflammatory and/or ulcerative lesions of the oral and/or gastrointestinal tract that can be caused by high dose chemotherapy, Infectious
The optimal daily dose of metformin is thought to be 2000 mg, however patients with metformin intolerance cannot reach this target dose. Participate in this study are metformin intolerant. Metformin intolerant patients have been defined as those not able to be treated with the metformin daily dose
SYN-010 has previously been evaluated in consecutive Phase 2a clinical trials. Sixty-three (63) IBS-C patients with high breath methane (>10 ppm) at screening were enrolled in a multicenter, randomized, controlled, double-blinded clinical trial (RCT) in which they received SYN-010 21 mg, SYN-010 42
Endocrine therapy and acquired endocrine resistance in advanced breast cancer:
First-line treatment of metastatic estrogen receptor (ER) positive breast cancer with endocrine therapy such as Tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors (AI) is efficacious, but development of secondary resistance is inevitable
Gemcitabine combined with 5FU may enhance the activity of 5-FU in vivo. Gemcitabine is an inhibitor of ribonucleotide reductase, an enzyme needed for synthesis of deoxynucleotides, and 5-FU interferes with dTTP synthesis by inhibition of thymidylate synthase (TS). It is likely that concomitant
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown cause that leads to pain, stiffness, swelling and limitation of joint function. If left untreated, RA produces serious destruction of joints that frequently leads to permanent disability.
Methotrexate (MTX) is currently the most
This is Phase 1 of a 3-phase plan in which we will ultimately test whether rapid turnaround genetic testing can improve the safety and efficacy of warfarin anticoagulation in warfarin naïve patients who are being newly induced and maintained on warfarin. Each of the phases will address a specific
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND: In recent years, the need to achieve increasingly ambitious therapeutic goals for dyslipidemias has prompted the search for more potent pharmacological agents to lower circulating atherogenic lipoprotein concentrations and enhance reverse cholesterol transport (RCT). While
Hypothesis:
Recently, the thymidylate synthase gene's promoter has been found to be polymorphic, with variable numbers of tandem repeats of 28 base pairs in length. These polymorphisms have been associated with tumor response to treatment with fluoropyrimidines. The researchers hypothesize that
