The secretion of melatonin (MLT) was examined in 6 ICT patients, 2 men and 4 women, who showed marked midline shift of CT scan findings with intracranial hypertension signs (headache, nausea, vomiting). Their ages ranged from 22 to 40 years. The controls, 6 healthy men and 4 healthy women
The pineal hormone melatonin (MLT) has been shown to influence many biological functions, including immune response, cancer growth and brain neurotransmitter contents. On the basis of its biological properties, a study was started to evaluate the influence of MLT on IL-2 immunotherapy toxicity. The
BACKGROUND
The prognosis of low performance status (PS) patients with advanced non-small-cell-lung cancer (NSCLC) is dismal. In these patients, we have determined the survival, clinical benefits, and toxicity of a multidrug regimen, based on cyclophosphamide and biotherapeutical
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of oral melatonin and oral midazolam as premedication for intravenous (IV) sedation of pediatric dental patients.This crossover, double-blind randomized clinical trial was conducted on 23 uncooperative 2-6-year-olds
The analgesic benefit of melatonin and vitamin C as primary or adjuvant agents has been reported in various studies; however, their analgesiceffects in the treatment of postoperative pain remain unclear. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the effect of preoperative single dose of oral melatonin and vitamin
OBJECTIVE
Preventive therapy in migraine must be started with frequent or disabling headaches in children, while, no drugs have been approved for migraine preventive therapy of them up to now. The aim of the present research was to investigate safety and efficacy of melatonin in pediatric migraine
BACKGROUND
Melatonin (MLT) is known to possess potent antioxidant, antiproliferative, immune-modulating, and hormone-modulating properties. Clinical evidence suggests that MLT may have a possible role in the treatment of cancer. The authors systematically reviewed the effects of MLT in conjunction
BACKGROUND
The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness and tolerability of a chronobiotic (melatonin) with a hypnotic (zolpidem) and the combination of both substances to alleviate jet lag symptoms associated with eastward travel.
METHODS
This double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled
BACKGROUND
We previously reported on an improvement in survival and quality of life in chemotherapy-naïve patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer and low performance status (PS) treated with a combination of biotherapeutical agents and cyclophosphamide. In this study, we assessed the
Experimental data have suggested that the pineal hormone melatonin (MLT) may counteract chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression and immunosuppression. In addition, MLT has been shown to inhibit the production of free radicals, which play a part in mediating the toxicity of chemotherapy. A study was
A 68-year-old woman presented with a sudden severe headache, vomiting, and disturbed consciousness. She was admitted to the emergency room. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a hemorrhage in the right temporal lobe. Angiography demonstrated a ruptured aneurysm in the right middle cerebral artery
Ice pick headache, also called idiopathic or primary stabbing headache, is a unique headache type associated with ultra-brief stabs of pain, most commonly in the frontal or temporal area. It occurs predominantly in women and is estimated to affect 2-35% of the population. Unlike other headache types
Anorexia is one of the most common symptoms of patients with advanced cancer and it presents as loss of appetite due to satiety. On the other hand, cachexia is described in those patients with unwanted weight loss. Cancerous processes produce an energy unbalance by decreased food intake and
Medium-chain fatty acids and acylcarnitines accumulate in medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MCADD), the most frequent fatty acid oxidation defect clinically characterized by episodic crises with vomiting, seizures and coma. Considering that the pathophysiology of the neurological
Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) is an important biogenic amine that fulfills the role of neurotransmitter and neuromodulator. It has been a focus of interest during the last decade. Its diversity of pharmacologic actions is related to a wide variety of receptors and effector mechanisms. Seven
