Blood pressure monitoring in patients receiving bevacizumab.
We have read with great interest the prospective study by Shah et al. [1] assessing the safety of short infusions of bevacizumab. The authors report similar rates of proteinuria and hypertension in patients receiving the standard infusion regimen (over 90, 60 then 30 min), compared with shorter administrations with an infusion rate of 0.5 mg/kg/min. Although we agree with Shah et al. that short...

We read with interest the proteomic study by Collinson and colleagues (1), proposing a biomarker signature with promising ability in predicting benefit from the addition of bevacizumab to standard chemotherapy in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). The identification of predictors of benefit from bevacizumab is one of the most pressing priority in medical oncology, as indications for its use have ...
متن کاملHypertension management in patients receiving hemodialysis: the benefits of home blood pressure monitoring.

Hypertension contributes to these risks and can be difficult to assess due to unreliable blood pressure (BP) measurements at dialysis centers. A clinical practice grant from the American Nephrology Nurses'Association allowed for the purchase of 35 home BP monitors to study the us...
متن کاملAmbulatory blood pressure monitoring in patients receiving long, slow home haemodialysis.
BACKGROUND Good blood pressure (BP) control has been reported previously in haemodialysis (HD) patients receiving 8-h dialysis sessions. Home HD allows patients to dialyze for long periods, but there are few data on the BP control achieved by these patients. We studied BP control, using ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), in our home-HD patients who were receiving long-hours dialysis. ...

The authors make incorrect assumptions in both the introduction and conclusion of the article related to the significance of the European Society of Hypertension International Protocol (ESH-IP). In the article’s introduction, the authors state that the ESH-IP 2002 is the most widely used protocol for noninvasive blood p...
