Treating refractory epilepsy with tiagabine: clinical experience
Epilepsy remains difficult to treat with more than 30% of patients being refractory to conventional anticonvulsant therapy. Combination therapy may improve seizure control in some of these patients. Tiagabine is a new anticonvulsant that has a unique mechanism of action as a selective gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) re-uptake inhibitor (SGRI). Twenty consecutive patients with refractory epilepsy...
متن کاملTotal body irradiation with volumetric modulated arc therapy: Dosimetric data and first clinical experience
BACKGROUND To implement total body irradiation (TBI) using volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT). We applied the Varian RapidArc™ software to calculate and optimize the dose distribution. Emphasis was placed on applying a homogenous dose to the PTV and on reducing the dose to the lungs. METHODS From July 2013 to July 2014 seven patients with leukaemia were planned and treated with a VMAT-ba...
متن کاملClinical experience treating Paecilomyces lilacinus keratitis in four patients
BACKGROUND Paecilomyces lilacinus is a saprobic fungus that occasionally causes keratitis in infected patients. Voriconazole, a triazole antifungal agent, is often administered to treat P. lilacinus keratitis, because it is resistant to many antifungal agents. However, some patients may not require voriconazole. Here, we report our experience of treating this infection and compare outcomes betw...
متن کاملEarly clinical experience with volumetric modulated arc therapy in head and neck cancer patients
BACKGROUND To report about early clinical experience in radiation treatment of head and neck cancer of different sites and histology by volumetric modulated arcs with the RapidArc technology. METHODS During 2009, 45 patients were treated at Istituto Clinico Humanitas with RapidArc (28 males and 17 females, median age 65 years). Of these, 78% received concomitant chemotherapy. Thirty-six patie...
متن کاملTreating lung cancer with dynamic conformal arc therapy: a dosimetric study
BACKGROUND Lung cancer patients are often in poor physical condition, and a shorter treatment time would reduce their discomfort. Dynamic conformal arc therapy (DCAT) offers a shorter treatment time than conventional 3D conformal radiotherapy (3D CRT) and is usually available even in departments without inverse planning possibilities. We examined its suitability as a treatment modality for lung...
