BACKGROUND
Dialysis disequilibrium syndrome is characterized by neurological symptoms resulting from cerebral edema, which occurs as a consequence of hemodialysis. Dialysis disequilibrium syndrome most often occurs in patients who have just started hemodialysis, during hemodialysis, or soon after
Erlotinib and bevacizumab combination therapy for afatinib-refractory leptomeningeal carcinomatosis from EGFR-mutated lung cancer.
Only registered users can translate articles
