Niacin Exacerbates Methyl Prednisolone-Induced Bone Changes in Growing Rats

Positive role of niacin on serum lipid profile of rats treated with glucocorticoids (GCs) has been reported. This study aims to evaluate effect of niacin on bone changes in GC-induced dyslipidemic rats. A number of 28 growing rats divided into four groups and treated as control, Methyl prednisolone (MP) group (3.5 mg/kg five days a week, SC); MPN group (MP + niacin 200 mg/kg/day orally) and MPA...

The Prophylactic Effect of Methyl Prednisolone Sodium Succinate against Fat Embolism in Long Bones Fractures

In this prospective study the effect of low dose methylprednisolone succinate (10mg/kg) on the incidence of fat embolism syndrome and isolated arterial hypoxemia in 99 patients with long bone fracture (52 control and 47 steroid-trated subjects) was studied. Frequency of fractures among the selected patients was as follows: femoral fracture 52.5%, tibial fracture 36.4%, both femoral and tibial f...

Methyl prednisolone and lung function after cardiopulmonary bypass.

Thirty-one patients who were undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass for elective aortic valve replacement were studied. The effects on some aspects of lung function of intravenous methyl prednisolone, administered immediately before bypass, were assessed by measuring alveolar-arterial oxygen differences and shunt fractions. No significant differences in pulmonary function were found between the trea...

Steroids have now become standard adjuvant therapy to the usual anti-tuberculous drugs in most cases of fulminant pulmonary tuberculosis and the Tuberculosis Society of Scotland report (I957, 1958) confirmed the value of such combined treatm...
