Statins and Thyroidectomy May Reduce the Risk of Orbitopathy Developing in Patients with Graves’ Disease
Background Graves’ orbitopathy (GO) is a component of Graves’ disease (GD) that is difficult to treat and may be very debilitating for the patient. Orbitopathy (ophthalmopathy [harder to pronounce]) is a significant problem for about 5% to 10% of patients with Graves’ disease. The factors that cause a predisposition to it are not clear. The current study examines a database of patients with Gra...
متن کاملTreatment with statins may be considered in ESRD patients for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease.
recommended in the secondary prevention of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). To investigate the use of statins for the primary prevention of ACS, between April 2004 and February 2005 we enrolled a total of 31 end-stage renal disease patients on MHD, with neither history nor clinical and instrumental signs of earlier major adverse cardiac events (MACEs).

متن کاملStatins may reduce femoral osteolysis in patients with total Hip arthroplasty.
In experimental studies, statin use has been associated with reduction of osteoclastic activity and promotion of bone formation around implants. Moreover, a large clinical study recently reported a substantially reduced risk of revision for aseptic loosening among statin users with THA. Our objective was to evaluate the influence of statin use on the development of femoral osteolysis within 5 y...
متن کاملFinasteride and dutasteride may reduce melanoma risk.
Malignant melanoma is an androgen-dependent tumor. Androgen blockade enhances response to the melanoma vaccine. In their study, Zhang et al reported that a history of teenage acne in women may be a novel risk factor for melanoma independent of other risk factors. Acne in women is related to androgens and can be treated with finasteride. Both finasteride and dutasteride prevent the conversion of...
متن کاملStatins Reduce Melanoma Development and Metastasis through MICA Overexpression
Survival of melanoma patients after metastases detection remains short. Several clinical trials have shown moderate efficiency in improving patient survival, and the search for pharmacological agents to enhance the immune response and reduce melanoma metastases is still necessary. Statins block the mevalonate pathway, which leads to decreases in GTPase isoprenylation and activity, particularly ...
