Treatment with an epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor (egfri) in patients having non-small-cell lung cancer can cause frequent and diverse skin toxicities, an acneiform rash being one of the commonest. Although the exact pathophysiology of this rash and its development mechanisms remain
A patient with Parkinson's disease taking levodopa/carbidopa, selegiline, buproprion, aspirin and niacin had decreased rigidity and bradykinesia when his niacin dose was steadily escalated for treatment of high triglycerides, but ultimately the patient could not tolerate niacin because of severe

Novel combination antiretroviral regimens may be needed for selected HIV-infected patients with toxicity or resistance. We evaluated prospectively 25 virologically suppressed patients, largely pretreated (15.6 years on therapy) with antiretroviral drug toxicity (n=19) or interactions (n=9, mainly
Treatment options for HIV-infected patients can be limited due to viral drug resistance to antiretroviral agents. Enfuvirtide (ENF) is an injectable entry/fusion inhibitor that is effective in achieving viral suppression when used in combination with protease inhibitors (PIs) in patients with
