BACKGROUND
We aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of hyponatremia in patients with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) treated with a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI).
METHODS
This study included a total of 209 consecutive Japanese patients undergoing radical nephrectomy who
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a neuropsychiatric syndrome during the course of acute or chronic liver disease. It is functional in nature, potentially reversible and precipitated by rather heterogeneous factors. Current evidence suggests that HE is the consequence of a low grade chronic glial edema
BACKGROUND
In China, there are currently no approved therapies for the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) following progression with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-targeted agents. In the phase 3 RECORD-1 trial, the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor
The case of a 58-year old female patient with epidermal growth factor-positive pulmonary adenocarcinoma treated with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor afatinib is reported. After several months of first-line therapy the patient developed severe hyponatremia and tumor reassessment revealed a progressive
Sorafenib is an anti-angiogenic tyrosine kinase inhibitor used to treat patients with renal cell cancer and advanced hepatocellular cancer. Common adverse effects of sorafenib are rash, diarrhea, nausea, and abnormal liver function test and hand-foot BACKGROUND
Entospletinib (GS-9973) is an oral, selective inhibitor of spleen tyrosine kinase. Entospletinib monotherapy was evaluated in a multicenter, phase II study of subjects with relapsed or refractory B-cell malignancy.
METHODS
The study included 43 patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse
Hyponatremia due to elevated arginine vasopressin (AVP) secretion increases mortality in liver failure patients. The mechanisms causing dysregulation of AVP secretion are unknown. Our hypothesis is that inappropriate AVP release associated with liver failure is due to increased Brain Derived
Water gain in the brain consequent to hyponatremia is counteracted by mechanisms that initially include a compensatory displacement of liquid from the interstitial space to cerebrospinal fluid and systemic circulation and subsequently an active reduction in cell water accomplished by extrusion of
Hyponatremia is a common complication among cancer patients. Certain antineoplastic agents have been associated with syndrome of inappropriate secretion of anti-diuretic hormone-induced hyponatremia. The most common agents associated with secretion of anti-diuretic hormone are vinca alkaloids,
Ibrutinib, a first-in-class, once-daily inhibitor of Bruton's tyrosine kinase, is approved in the United States for the treatment of various B-cell malignancies. Preclinical data suggest synergistic antitumor activity of ibrutinib with programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors in The purpose of the present study was to report cases of epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI)-naïve patients carrying a mutation associated with acquired resistance to the drug. Gene alterations in 77 lung carcinoma patients were analyzed by collecting and studying
BACKGROUND
Currently, there is no standard treatment for metastatic anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC). DNA microarray analysis has shown platelet-dervived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) overexpression in ATC relative to well-differentiated thyroid cancer. In p53-mutated/deficient ATC cell lines, cABL
We report the solid-phase synthesis and some pharmacological properties of 12 position three modified analogues (peptides 1-12) of the potent non-selective antagonist of the antidiuretic (V2-receptor), vasopressor (V1a-receptor) responses to arginine vasopressin (AVP) and of the uterine contracting
Four analogues of [1-(beta-mercapto-beta, beta-cyclopentamethylenepropionic acid),4-valine,8-D-arginine]vasopressin [d-(CH2)5 VDAVP] and four analogues of its L-arginine isomer d(CH2)5 VAVP with O-methyl-, O-ethyl, O-isopropyl, and O-n-propyltyrosine substituents at position 2 were prepared by the
Dysfunction in water intake and metabolism has frequently been reported in schizophrenia. The general population of schizophrenics under neuroleptic treatment secretes lower amounts of vasopressin than controls at comparable values of plasma osmolality. The purpose of the present study was to
