amylase/headache

OBJECTIVE The study was designed to investigate the differences in salivary cortisol (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical [HPA] axis), immunoglobulin A (IgA) (immune system) concentrations and α-amylase (sympathetic nervous system [SNS]) activity between children with chronic tension-type headache

UNASSIGNED Tension-type headache is the most common type of headache across the world. Saliva as a non-invasive medium is used to detect a wide range of diseases. Salivary Alpha-Amylase (SAA) levels has been suggested as a potential indirect marker for detecting Sympathoadrenal Medullary (SAM)

BACKGROUND Camphor is a toxic hydrocarbon, found in numerous over-the-counter medicinal products and chemist-shop items. The consequences of camphor poisoning depend on the dose, and severe poisoning can result in death. Ingestion of camphor can cause seizures, apnoea, renal insufficiency, raised

OBJECTIVE Salivary alpha amylase levels were measured to investigate sympathetic nervous system activity in migraine patients during attack, post-attack and interval periods of headache since salivary alpha amylase levels have been suggested as a potential indirect marker of sympatho-adrenal

BACKGROUND Leptospirosis is a zoonosis caused by the spirochete, Leptospira interrogans. While most cases of leptospirosis are mild to moderate, the course may be complicated by multiorgan dysfunction. We present a rare case of leptospirosis with acute myocarditis, pancreatitis, polyarthritis,

The impact of asthma, exposure period, and filter condition downstream of the mixing box of air-conditioning system on building occupants' perceptual response, work performance, and salivary α-amylase secretion during exposures to ozone and its initiated chemistry products is studied. The

OBJECTIVE Acute pancreatitis has been associated with a number of medications, including valproate (VPA). Valproate-coincident pancreatitis is uncommon and is usually associated with other risk factors; however, the United States Food and Drug Administration has issued a box warning for risk of

Use-result surveillance was conducted to investigate the safety and efficacy of Acetylcysteine Oral Solution 17.6 % "SENJU" having the indication for the antidote to acetaminophen (Paracetamol) overdose. Ninety six cases (patients) were collected for the safety evaluation, and 13 cases (incidence

BACKGROUND Acetaminophen is known for its toxic effects onhepatic cells. Moreover, acetaminophen toxicity in the setting of hepatic failure has also been associatedwith dysfunction and failure of other organ systems, including the pancreas. Drug-induced pancreatitis (DIP) is rare and has been

In the absence of acute abdominal pain, significant headache, or recent initiation of certain medications, acute nausea and vomiting is usually the result of self-limited gastrointestinal infections. Nausea and vomiting is also a common adverse effect of radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and surgical

BACKGROUND Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a tick-borne disease characterized by nonspecific symptoms like fever, myalgia, severe headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. It can result in various complications during the course of the disease due to the diffuse endothelial

Phaeochromocytomas are rare catecholamine-producing tumours. Although classically described to present with headache, diaphoresis and palpitations, they also present in unusual ways; hyperamylasaemia is one such rare presentation. We describe a man with an extra-adrenal phaeochromocytoma

BACKGROUND Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (DF) is the first nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor approved for use in combination with other antiretroviral agents in the treatment of HIV-1 infection in the United States. Unlike the nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, which must undergo

BACKGROUND Drug resistance continues to be a major challenge in the treatment of HIV-1 infection. Virtually all currently available antiretroviral medications inhibit the viral reverse transcriptase or protease. Enfuvirtide is the first fusion inhibitor approved by the US Food and Drug

Patients with dengue virus infection have a different symptoms range from asymptomatic to sever form depending on primary and secondary immune status of host, infecting genotype and patient's age. The current study aimed to describe the clinical and laboratory profile of dengue fever outbreak and
