A clinicopathologic case is presented. The patient was a 12-year-old white girl with a history of fatigue and dizziness, occasional nausea and vomiting, and anemia, who showed abdominal distention, especially in the epigastrium. An epigastric mass was palpable. Gastroscopy was done, and surgery
The aim of supportive treatment is to minimise the toxic effects of antineoplastic therapy. More useful new drugs are now available for the management of chemotherapy induced anaemia, neutropenia, and nausea and vomiting. One can include the treatment of bone metastases with biphosphonates.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of iron protein succinylate in the treatment of iron-deficiency anemia in pregnancy. One hundred and thirty anemic pregnant women were studied. Inclusion criteria were iron-deficiency type of anemia, and hemoglobin levels below of
OBJECTIVE
To compare the effectiveness of granisetron with placebo in the treatment of established postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV).
METHODS
Randomized, placebo-controlled study.
METHODS
34 hospitals in Europe, Scandinavia, and South Africa.
METHODS
519 ASA physical status I, II, and III
OBJECTIVE
To compare the efficacy and side effects of low-dose vs high-dose iron supplements to correct anaemia in pregnancy.
METHODS
One hundred and eighty women with anaemia (haemoglobin <110 g l(-1)) in mid-pregnancy. The women were randomly allocated to 20; 40 or 80 mg of iron daily for 8 weeks
A 19 year old Mauritian male presented with episodic nausea, abdominal discomfort and jaundice. Unconjugated hyperbilirubinaemia and erythroid hyperplasia without dyserythropoiesis led to the diagnosis of primary shunt hyperbilirubinaemia. The similarity between congenital dyserythropoietic anaemia
BACKGROUND
The purpose of the present paper was to investigate the relationship between Helicobacter pylori infection and clinical symptomatology, breast-feeding and socioeconomic level. The relationship between H. pylori and iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) and the effect of H. pylori infection on
Fifty pregnant women with a hemoglobin between > 10 and < or = 12 g/100 ml during the second three months of pregnancy participated in a non-comparative clinical trial intended to evaluate, during a one month treatment period, the acceptability and effectiveness of an iron supplement (Bio-fer),
A teenager was admitted to an outside hospital ED following an episode of melena. He had been complaining of intermittent abdominal pain, nausea, malaise, and easy fatigability for 2 months, with significant worsening of symptoms 2 weeks prior to this episode. He had no significant medical,
Anemia is a common disease in elderly people. However, since hemoglobin concentration often decreases subclinically with aging because of nutritional impairment, its pathological significance is unclear. To investigate the pathological significance of low hemoglobin concentration, we studied the
Elective cholecystectomy was performed on 12 children (eight male and four female; age range, 4 to 19 years; and mean age, 11.2 years) with abdominal pain that was related to gallstones. Seven patients had jaundice, six had nausea, five had fat intolerance, and three had biliary colic. Two simple
BACKGROUND
About 468 million non-pregnant women are estimated to suffer from iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) worldwide. The highest prevalence of IDA occurs in the Taiwanese population.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effectiveness of Herbiron to increase iron absorption in women with IDA.
METHODS
Phase III
Chemoradiotherapy-induced toxicity following unmodified allogeneic marrow grafting was studied. Patients with hematologic malignancy (n = 157) received cyclophosphamide (120 mg/kg) followed by single or fractionated total body irradiation (TBI); aplastic anemia patients (n = 41) received only
OBJECTIVE
Intravenous iron is usually reserved for patients in whom oral administration has failed. Typically the calculated total dose is divided in to several fractions. Total dose infusion (TDI) of iron dextran is not commonly used due to the potential for serious side effects such as
Seventeen patients with aplastic anaemia were treated with recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (rhGM-CSF) for 14 d. Nonresponding patients were then treated with anti-human thymocyte globulin (ATG), methylprednisolone and oxymetholone. Side-effects of rhGM-CSF included
