1. Introduction to investigational treatment(s) and other study treatment(s) 1.1 Overview of gemcitabine Gemcitabine (29,29-difluoro 29-deoxycytidine, dFdC) which developed from cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C) is an nucleoside analog used as chemotherapy. It was intended as an antiviral drug in

Co-infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) is frequent because of shared modes of viral transmission. Near 20% of HIV-infected patients are also infected with HCV, the prevalence of HCV in the HIV population varying according to the route of transmission.

Background Kawasaki disease (KD) is characterized by fever, bilateral nonexudative conjunctivitis, erythema of the lips and oral mucosa, changes in the extremities, rash, and cervical lymphadenopathy. Incidence of late coronary artery aneurysms or ectasia, which may lead to myocardial infarction

INTRODUCTION The pneumonia in the intensive care unit (I.C.U.) constitutes the most frequent infection and is most often associated with the application of the mechanical ventilation. VAP (Ventilator - Associated Pneumonia) is defined as the nosocomial pneumonia in a patient on mechanical

INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND: In recent years, the need to achieve increasingly ambitious therapeutic goals for dyslipidemias has prompted the search for more potent pharmacological agents to lower circulating atherogenic lipoprotein concentrations and enhance reverse cholesterol transport (RCT). While

Method of Harvesting Stem Cells Based on the experience of the pilot studies, the current protocol will mobilize stem cells with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) and collect stem cells by apheresis, with subsequent bone marrow harvest performed only if needed to supplement the

Selection of High Dose Immunosuppressive Therapy and Autologous HSCT Strategy for this Trial Selection of the Regimen for High-Dose Immunosuppressive Therapy Cyclophosphamide with ATG (Cy/ATG) is a common conditioning regimen with two decades of experience in the treatment of aplastic anemia and has

There are multiple secondary objectives in this trial: - To estimate the overall event-free survival of patients treated with risk-directed therapy - To identify the plasma methotrexate (MTX) concentrations that produce maximum intracellular accumulation of active metabolites (methotrexate

1. Background Drug resistance has been associated with increased numbers of hospital admissions, increased cases of clinical malaria and malaria-specific mortality . Several strategies have been proposed as means by which the spread of antimalarial drugs resistance could be delayed. These strategies

Resistance of Plasmodium falciparum to current antimalarial drugs and the continuing development of resistance to new antimalarial formulations is one of the major obstacles to effective malaria control and case management. Parasite populations are highly resistant to chloroquine on an almost
