Patient relapse and metastasis of malignant cells is very common after standard cancer treatment with surgery, radiation, and/or chemotherapy. Chemotherapy, a cornerstone in the development of present day cancer therapy, is one of the most effective and potent strategies to treat malignant tumors. However, the resistance of cancer cells to the drugs remains a significant impediment to successfu...
متن کاملAntibiotic resistance pattern of bacterial agents isolated from blood culture of patients with infective endocarditis

Nowadays, infective endocarditis is still a major cause of death with an incidence rate of 5 to 7.9 per 100,000 populations. The aim of the study was to determine antibiotic resistance pattern of bacterial agents isolated from blood culture of patients with infective endocardi...
متن کاملLimited-sampling strategies for anti-infective agents: systematic review.
BACKGROUND Area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) is a pharmacokinetic parameter that represents overall exposure to a drug. For selected anti-infective agents, pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic parameters, such as AUC/MIC (where MIC is the minimal inhibitory concentration), have been correlated with outcome in a few studies. A limited-sampling strategy may be used to estimate pharmacokine...
متن کاملCircumventing leptin resistance for weight control.
I the avalanche of recent information on the brain’s control of energy homeostasis and the pathophysiology of obesity, there are two outstanding insights. One is enhanced knowledge of the neuroanatomy and neurochemistry of various components of the appetite regulation and energy expenditure networks in the hypothalamus, and the other is characterization of the neurobiology of leptin in regulati...
