BACKGROUND Disintegrants are the key excipients administered in tablet formulations to boost the decomposition of the tablet into smaller pieces in the gastrointestinal environment, thereby increasing the available surface area and enhancing a more rapid release of the active

Concurrent administration of degradable starch microspheres and cytostatic agents into the hepatic artery results in decreased systemic exposure and increased hepatic exposure to drug compared to intra-arterial administration of drug alone. Degradable starch microspheres 210 mg/m2 mixed with

BACKGROUND The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after intrathecal morphine is high. Ramosetron is a 5-HT₃ antagonist that has been shown to reduce PONV in general anesthesia. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of Ramosetron in preventing PONV MATERIAL AND

BACKGROUND Intravenous fluid is recommended in international guidelines to improve patient post-operative symptoms, particularly nausea and vomiting. The optimum fluid regimen has not been established. This prospective, randomized, blinded study was designed to determine if administration of

BACKGROUND Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a common complication following general anesthesia. Different regimens have been described for the treatment of PONV with few that mention the prevention of it. Therefore, we conducted this study to compare the effect of preloading with either

Rice-starch based oral rehydration solution (ORS) has been shown to be a suitable alternative to glucose-based ORS in the treatment of both choleragenic and non-choleragenic dehydration in older infants and children. However, in young infants, the wider use of rice-starch ORS has been impeded

BACKGROUND Disintegrants are the key excipients administered in tablet formulations to boost the decomposition of the tablet into smaller pieces in the gastrointestinal environment, thereby increasing the available surface area and enhancing a more rapid release of the active

1. Several investigators have found that the development of post-exercise ketosis is not counteracted by glucose ingestion. Post-exercise ketosis might therefore have more in common with diabetic ketoacidosis than with starvation ketosis. 2. The effects of ingesting 100 g of glucose, alanine or

We prospectively evaluated the efficacy and safety of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) with microembolization material, degradable starch microspheres (DSMs), and epirubicin, for treatment of multifocal hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Seventeen patients with multifocal HCC were

Intraarterial administration of 40-microns degradable starch microspheres (DSM) in a drug solution can temporarily retard flow of the drug-blood column through the arteriolar-capillary bed and lead to increased local drug deposition. Premonitory to Phase II-III efficacy studies applying this concept

A 40-year-old male patient with suicidal ingestion of one tablet of aluminium phosphide was referred to the department of toxicology emergency of Baharloo Hospital, Tehran, Iran. The garlic odor was smelled from the patient and abdominal pain and continuous vomiting as well as agitation and

BACKGROUND Vomiting is one of the most prevalent side effects of chemotherapy in cancer patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ginger plant on chemotherapy-induced vomiting, since the previous studies were somehow imperfect and have provided controversial results. METHODS This

A total of 15 infants aged between 4-12 months with sleeping difficulty were enrolled in the study. All participants were given a test follow-on formula (cow's milk based), with added rice starch. The test formula was advised to be given at night-time for a 7-day period. Sleeping patterns were

Degradable starch microspheres (DSM) have a mean diameter of 45 micron and temporarily obstruct blood flow at the arteriolar (micro-circulatory) level. A new approach was attempted to improve the anticancer effect on non-resectable liver cancer with simultaneous administration of DSM and MMC

Recently, degradable starch microspheres (DSM) have become available for use in patients with liver cancer in Japan. When DSM combined with a cytotoxic drug are infused through the hepatic artery, the steep drug concentration gradient to the tumor tissue results in a higher tissue drug
