Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Ototoxicity is a severe side effect of aminoglycoside antibiotics. Aminoglycosides are recommended for the treatment of multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB). N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) appears to protect against drug- and noise-induced hearing loss. This review aimed to determine if

OBJECTIVE The study was designed to define the activity of the combination of cisplatin and etoposide as third-line chemotherapy for advanced breast cancer and to investigate the role of the dosage of cisplatin on the effectiveness of the combination. METHODS Ninety-five eligible patients with

A risk-benefit assessment of iron-chelation therapy.

Only registered users can translate articles

Iron overload caused by lifelong transfusion-dependent anaemias, such as beta-thalassaemia major, usually results in lethal cardiac toxicity in the second decade of life if not treated by iron chelation. There is no physiological mechanism for excreting the excess iron accumulated from blood

A phase II trial of high-dose cisplatin and dacarbazine. Lack of efficacy of high-dose, cisplatin-based therapy for metastatic melanoma.

Only registered users can translate articles

Cisplatin and dacarbazine are used widely in the treatment of metastatic melanoma. To evaluate high-dose cisplatin and dacarbazine, 32 patients with metastatic melanoma were treated with cisplatin 50 mg/m2 and dacarbazine 350 mg/m2 daily for three days repeated at 28-day intervals. Their median age

[Bilateral vestibular loss as a post-infection complication of yersiniosis?].

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Yersinia infections other than plaque are caused by Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and Yersinia enterocolitica. Food and water contamination as well as animal-to-person and person-to-person contact are common pathways of transmission. Clinical manifestations include enteritis, enterocolitis,
