OBJECTIVE
This report presents pooled data from two multicenter studies conducted to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerance of lower-dose intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) regimens of 250 mg/kg/day, 400 mg/kg/day, and 500 mg/kg/day for 2 days, compared to an established higher-dose regimen of 1
The causes of pituitary apoplexy are unclear. We report a case of pituitary apoplexy presenting with headache and nausea. On June 17th, 1997 a 74-year-old woman had complained of retro-orbital headache, fever and vomiting. A cold was diagnosed for which she recurred medication. In addition to the
OBJECTIVE
To compare the safety and efficacy of various intravenously administered immune globulin (IVGG) products in patients with Kawasaki disease.
METHODS
We performed a retrospective matched-pair study of 45 pairs of patients, matched by age, gender, hospital, and illness day when IVGG therapy
The infusion of high-dose (275 mg/kg body weight) immune globulin intravenous (IGIV) after 466 plasma exchanges in 64 patients with autoimmune disease was studied. Side effects occurred during 15% of IGIV infusions. For the most part they were transient and mild, and could be controlled by slowing
To prevent graft rejection and graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) after allogeneic stem-cell transplantation (ASCT), 56 children were given polyclonal anti-T-cell globulin (ATG) as part of the conditioning regimen. Of the 56 children in the cohort, 27 had a non-malignant disease and 29 had different
OBJECTIVE
To describe a case of acute renal failure after high-dose intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) therapy and the measures undertaken to prevent this complication during subsequent administration.
METHODS
A 54-year-old white man with valvular cardiomyopathy was receiving large doses (2 g/kg/mo)
BACKGROUND
The objective of the present study was to investigate the hypothesis that maternal androgen levels associate with nausea and vomiting in otherwise uncomplicated pregnancies.
METHODS
One hundred and twenty-nine women with uncomplicated pregnancies, reported nausea and vomiting in weeks 17,
BACKGROUND
High-dose intravenous immune globulins (IVIg) are frequently used in refractory juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) but are often poorly tolerated. High-dose recombinant human hyaluronidase-facilitated subcutaneous immune globulins (fSCIg) allow the administration of much higher doses of
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of intravenous injection of low-dose versus high-dose gamma globulin combined with glucocorticoid pulse therapy in the treatment of children with moderate/severe acute Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS).
METHODS
A total of 100 children with
OBJECTIVE
To assess pregnancy hormone levels in relation to nausea with or without vomiting.
METHODS
In the context of a prospective cohort study, 262 white pregnant women in Boston were observed through delivery. Maternal blood was collected at 16 and 27 weeks' gestation and serum levels of
Aims: To identify clinical symptoms and nursing interventions for stem cell therapy in autoimmune diseases.
Design: This is a retrospective, cross-sectional study.
Seventeen patients with aplastic anaemia were treated with recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (rhGM-CSF) for 14 d. Nonresponding patients were then treated with anti-human thymocyte globulin (ATG), methylprednisolone and oxymetholone. Side-effects of rhGM-CSF included
A core design contraceptive vaginal ring (CVR) with average daily release of 650 mcg of norethindrone acetate (NA) and 30 mcg of ethinyl estradiol (EE) inhibited ovulation and controlled vaginal bleeding well, but caused some nausea. This study was designed to minimally alter the dose of steroid to
BACKGROUND
The purpose of this review was to compare pharmacology, contraceptive efficacy, cycle control, side effects and acceptability with the combined contraceptive vaginal ring (CCVR) and combined oral contraceptives (COCs).
METHODS
All randomized controlled trials (RCTs) between the CCVR and a
Endocrine therapy (ET) is a key treatment modality in hormone receptor positive (HR+) early breast cancer (BC) patients. Although the anticancer activity of adjuvant ET + zoledronic acid (ZOL) has been investigated, the potential effects of ET ± ZOL on endocrine hormones in premenopausal women with
