In patients with cancer, it is difficult to continue medical treatment owing to nausea and vomiting (NV). Therefore, it is important to avoid these problems for improving the patient's QOL. Rikkunshito extract (RK) possesses antiemetic effects and is used in combination in cancer therapy. However,

Nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite (anorexia) are common symptoms in many pathological conditions affecting the normal function of the upper gastrointestinal tract.¹ Nausea and vomiting are particularly common side effects of chemotherapy (chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting –

The objective of this study was to evaluate whether aprepitant in addition to 5-HT3 receptor antagonist is useful for preventing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) and anorexia in patients receiving CHOP therapy, and to evaluate the relationship between in vivo kinetics of plasma

Anorexia, nausea and vomiting are inevitable side effects of cancer and its treatment. They not only adversely affect the patients sense of wellbeing, his general state and wish to recover but also his comorbidity and perhaps the tumor progression. Any treatment has to be preceded by a careful

OBJECTIVE Gastric motor dysfunction may be responsible, in some patients, for the nausea and emesis that occur following high-dose chemotherapy (HDT) and autologous stem cell transplantation (SCT). We sought to define the prevalence of gastric emptying abnormalities and their relationship to the

OBJECTIVE The efficacies of the selective 5-hydroxytryptamine3 (5-HT3) antagonists--ramosetron (0.3 mg) and granisetron (3 mg) in treating acute chemotherapy-induced digestive system dysunction were compared. METHODS A total of 111 patients were enrolled in a single-blind, randomised crossover

We investigated the usefulness of concurrent therapy of granisetron with methylprednisolone sodium for on nausea, vomiting and anorexia induced by chemotherapy, including cisplatin, in patients with oral cancer. Group A: 10 patients who were on concurrent therapy of granisetron (3.0 mg/body) with

BACKGROUND Persistent nausea, vomiting, anorexia, and poor oral intake are common after hematopoietic cell transplantation. In the past, herpesvirus infections and acute intestinal graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) were the most common causes. METHODS We studied 76 patients with 78 episodes of these

This report outlines measures for controlling nausea, vomiting, and anorexia caused by anticancer agents. Combination therapy with a 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT3) receptor antagonist and a steroid preparation is effective for controlling acute vomiting. In the chronic stage, however, the response to

Anorexia and cachexia, nausea and vomiting, and constipation are gastrointestinal symptoms that commonly accompany serious illness. Basic science and clinical research continue to improve the understanding of their pathophysiology. Thorough assessment necessitates history, physical examination, and

While chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting are clinically controlled in the acute (<24 h) phase following treatment, the anorexia, nausea, fatigue, and other illness-type behaviors during the delayed phase (>24 h) of chemotherapy are largely uncontrolled. As the hindbrain glucagon-like peptide-1

Physical symptoms other than pain often contribute to suffering near the end of life. In addition to pain, the most common symptoms in the terminal stages of an illness such as cancer or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome are fatigue, anorexia, cachexia, nausea, vomiting, constipation, delirium and

Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) is a cytokine that reduces food intake through activation of hindbrain GFRAL-RET receptors and has become a keen target of interest for anti-obesity therapies. Elevated endogenous GDF15 is associated with energy balance disturbances, cancer progression,

OBJECTIVE The systemic and cognitive side effects of hepatitis C virus (HCV) therapy may be incapacitating, necessitating dose reductions or abandonment of therapy. Oral cannabinoid-containing medications (OCs) ameliorate chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, as well as AIDS wasting syndrome.
