Normal Range of Total Plasma Homocysteine Concentrations in Southern Iran
The distribution of total plasma homocysteine concentrations in relation to the sex and age is described, in a population of Shiraz, South West of Iran and compared to those reported in other populations. Two hundred and one healthy males and 201 healthy females aged >15 y were randomly selected. Total Plasma homocysteine concentrations were measured using high performance liquid chromatograp...
متن کاملThe potential value of F-18 FDG PET in comparison to ct in early prediction of response to Imatinib (STI571) therapy in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors
Introduction: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract. GIST has been shown to over-express c-KIT (CD117), the receptor tyrosine kinase. Imatinib (STI571 or Glivec) is a new type of tyrosine kinase inhibitor that selectively inhibits various tyrosine kinases and has been successfully used to trea...
متن کاملFree and total plasma theophylline concentrations in chronic airflow obstruction.
It has been suggested that the variability in clinical response between individuals at any given total plasma theophylline concentration may be related to interpatient variability in theophylline plasma protein binding. We therefore measured the plasma protein binding of theophylline in plasma from 39 outpatients with chronic airflow obstruction who were receiving long term oral theophylline tr...
متن کاملRelationship between saliva and free and total plasma theophylline concentrations in patients with chronic airflow obstruction.
Total plasma and mixed stimulated saliva theophylline concentrations (by high performance liquid chromatography) and free plasma theophylline concentrations (by equilibrium dialysis) were measured in simultaneously collected samples from 32 outpatients receiving chronic oral theophylline treatment, who had received the drug at least two hours before sampling. There was a close relationship betw...
متن کاملImatinib Plasma Monitoring-Guided Dose Modification for Managing Imatinib-Related Toxicities in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor Patients
Imatinib, the first-line treatment in patients with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), is generally well tolerated, although some patients have difficulty tolerating the standard dose of 400 mg/day. Adjusting imatinib dosage by plasma level monitoring may facilitate management of patients who experience intolerable toxicities due to overexposure to the drug. We present two cases o...
