Epidemiology and suggested mechanisms involved in pediatric chemotherapy induced neuropathy: Pediatric chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is an early (often occurring within the first three months), potentially severe long-lasting and dose limiting adverse effect of treatment in

Perioperative Myocardial Infarction (PMI) is a major contributor to perioperative mortality and morbidity with overall incidence of 5-16% (1, 2). It is associated with increased 30-day mortality of 11.6% vs 2.2% of patients without PMI in non-cardiac surgical patients (1). However, its recognition

Gout flare is driven by interleukin (IL)-1β production and can be treated by colchicine, NSAID, corticoid or IL-1β blockers (PMID 27457514). Colchicine is an alkaloid compound that disrupts cytoskeletal functions through inhibition of microtubule polymerization and consequently interferes with the

Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy Chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common adverse effect of cancer therapy, effecting over half of all patients who receive chemotherapy. CIPN typically manifests as a symmetrical, predominately sensory peripheral neuropathy, and is most

Periodontal disease is an immune-inflammatory disease which consists of connective tissue breakdown, loss of attachment, and alveolar bone loss.1 In normal physiology, there is an equilibrium maintained between reactive oxygen species (ROS) activity and antioxidant defence capacity. Thus when this

E-cigarette manufactures claim that e-cigarettes are safer than conventional cigarettes and that they may aid in smoking cessation. As a result, e-cigarettes are gaining popularity and use in the general public as a replacement for traditional cigarettes. However, little is known about the benefits

CIPN is a common side effect of many chemotherapeutic agents and often results in dose limitation, switch to less efficacious agents or even therapy discontinuation. CIPN mainly affects sensory nerves, while motor or autonomic nerve injury is rare. Therefore, most patients with CIPN experience

The fixed combination of orphenadrine 35mg, acetaminophen 325mg, caffeine 65mg and diclofenac sodium 50mg aims to provide patients with anti-inflammatory, analgesic and myorelaxant action with adequate safety and tolerability profile. Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory with analgesic,
