This was a double-blind study designed to compare the efficacy and tolerability of diclofenac/misoprostol and diclofenac in patients with acute tendinitis/bursitis of the shoulder. Diclofenac 50mg/misoprostol 200 micrograms (n = 185) or diclofenac 50mg (n = 187) was administered twice or 3 times

The effects of 1,200 mg of oxaprozin once daily, 100 mg of phenylbutazone four times daily, and placebo were compared in the treatment of 125 patients with acute tendinitis and bursitis in a seven-day double-blind study at six clinical sites. Patients in all three treatment groups showed significant

The longus colli muscle has three major parts that originate and insert in the upper cervical and thoracic spine. It is a weak flexor of the neck, and when contracted also serves to rotate the neck to the ipsilateral side. It is innervated by the anterior rami of the C2-C6 spinal nerves and receives

The patient was a 76 year-old female with tuberculous tendonitis, treated with anti-tuberculous drugs including rifampicin (RFP). About two weeks after the start of RFP, she noticed general malaise and started vomiting, and the laboratory data showed severe hyponatremia. Because of mild liver

BACKGROUND Ballet dancers are at elevated risk for eating disorders, but the extent to which disordered eating attitudes and behaviors represent a relatively benign adaptation to an environment that values extreme thinness, or a functionally impairing form of psychopathology, has sparked

To investigate the prevalence of infections, particularly the frequency of shingles and the timing of varicella zoster virus (VZV) reactivation, and antibiotic use, vaccinations, and joint trauma prior to and at diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We sent questionnaires to patients with

The etiology of scleroderma (SSc) is unknown; immunogenic stimuli such as infections and vaccinations could theoretically be risk factors for scleroderma. Our objective was to assess the relationship between viral and bacterial infections, and vaccinations, prior to diagnosis of SSc compared to

The 5-HT3 receptor is a ligand-gated cation channel located in the central and peripheral nervous system; it has also been detected on a variety of other cells. In the periphery, it is found on autonomic neurons and on neurons of the sensory and enteric nervous system. In the CNS, the 5-HT3 receptor

The most common adverse effects of the fluoroquinolones involve the gastrointestinal tract, skin and CNS, and are mainly mild and reversible. Of the gastrointestinal events, nausea and vomiting are the most common. Mild hepatic reactions are a class effect, usually presenting as mild transaminase

1. The safety in everyday clinical usage of three 4-quinolone antibiotics, (ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin and ofloxacin), was compared with similar data for azithromycin and cefixime, each agent being examined by Prescription-Event Monitoring (PEM) during the early post-marketing period. 2. In PEM the

The 5-HT3 receptor is a pentameric ligand-gated cation channel which is found in the central and peripheral nervous system and on extraneuronal locations like lymphocytes, monocytes and fetal tissue. Five monomer subtypes, the 5-HT(3A-E) subunits, have been identified which show differences in the

Background Fluoroquinolone (quinolones) antibiotics are commonly prescribed worldwide. Hypersensitivity reactions to these agents have been reported, but little systematic data exists concerning prevalence, types of reactions, or associated factors. Objective To identify the prevalence of patients

The fluoroquinolones ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin and gemifloxacin are widely used for the treatment of various types of bacterial infections. Overall, these antibacterial agents can be considered safe and well tolerated drugs. Comparative studies have evaluated the use of quinolones in
