Introduction: One of the most widely used anti-diabetic drugs is sulfonylureas, which is often used as one of the first-line drugs in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Due to the effect of the patient's genetic structure on the drug response (personalized medicine), the identification of genetic variations not only reduces the rate of adverse drug reactions but can also predict the effectivenes...
متن کاملI-36: The Necessity of Genetic Screening in Premature Ovarian Failure and Diminished Ovarian Reserved Patients
Variability in the subfertile patient population excludes the possibility of a single approach to controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) covering all the requirements of a patient. Modern medical science has made great advances in the understanding and the development of new drugs, treatment options and quantitative methods that can identify single patient characteristics. Factors that reduce fol...
متن کاملCOMPARATIVE STUDY OF CHEMORADIATION AND NEOADJUV ANT CHEMOTHERAPY BEFORE RADICAL HYSTERECTOMY IN STAGE m - 1m BULKY CERVICAL CANCER AND WITH TUMOR DIAMETER GREATER THAN 4 CM
Tumor size seems to be a determinant in the prognosis of early cervical cancer. Patients with tumor size greater than 4 cm (bulky) in diameter have worse outcome.' The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of preoperative combined chemoradiation and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NArC) programs followed by radical hysterectomy in stage Ib - lIb bulky cervical cancer. From September ...
متن کاملThe Role of microRNA in Cancer Cachexia and Muscle Wasting: A Review Article
Almost half of cancer patients experience cachexia syndrome. Cachexic patients are at risk of increased side effects of chemotherapy, reduced tolerance to chemotherapy drugs, longer duration of treatment period, and decreased quality of life. Cancer cachexia is a multifactorial syndrome. Micro ribonucleic acid (miRNA), a “non-coding RNA”, is considered to be a risk factor of cachexia and muscle...
