Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) continues to represent a major worldwide problem. Although treatments such as resection, transplantation, and ablation may provide a chance for a cure, these options are often precluded because of advanced disease presentation. Palliative treatments include transarterial embolization and systemic therapies. This review will summarize the state of the science for e...

The conventional PCR technique was used for studying the schistosomicidal effect of Mirazid® in the murine model. Results of the molecular study were compared with the parasitological results (ova and worm count). The used PCR technique was more sensitive than the Kato-Katz thick smears. Mirazid® showed some schistosomicidal effects against murine Schistosoma mansoni. However, it was not effici...

Sublingual immunotherapy is much safer than conventional percutaneous immunotherapy. This is the only treatment available which can completely cure the disease. A randomized, placebocontrolled, double-blind study has revealed that sublingual immunotherapy is both effective and safe for the patient with this pollinosis [3]. Only recently, standardized Japanese cedar pollen extract became availab...

Activator 73 A Activator 73 LM Multifunctional cure activators for the sulfur vulcanization of diene rubber, especially natural rubber. They can partly or totally replace conventional activators based on fatty acids (stearic acid, zinc stearate, and zinc 2-ethylhexanoate) and impart excellent reversion resistance. They can also be used as an effective physical peptizer for the mastication of na...

This study examined the use of a commercial, medical-grade honey (MGH) product for treating otic infections to determine if it would be an effective alternative to conventional therapies. Client-owned dogs (n = 15) with confirmed infectious otitis externa were enrolled and administered 1 mL of MGH once a day in each affected ear until clinical cure was achieved or until the end of the 21-day st...

BACKGROUND Sleep disorders are common in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and are not improved by either conventional haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is associated with cardiovascular disease and contributes to high mortality found in patients with ESRD. Cure of SDB after transplantation has been anecdotally reported. METHODS Thirty-four non-...

The incidence of invasive fungal infections (IFIs) in nonneutropenic solid organ transplant patients is increasing. We report our clinical experience with the use of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) immunotherapy in seven renal transplant patients who developed life threatening, disseminated IFIs refractory to conventional antifungal drug therapy. The infections were all microbiologically and histo...

This article reviews the current surgical management of liver tumours in children in the light of improved chemotherapy, surgical techniques and outcomes from transplantation. It is a principle of management that complete removal of a tumour must be achieved for cure. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy may downstage advanced local disease to enable safe curative tumour resection. When this is not achieva...

-------------------------------------------------------Abstract--------------------------------------------------------Fluoride is often described as a ‘double-edged sword’ as inadequate ingestion is associated with dental caries, where as excessive intake leads to dental, skeletal and soft tissue fluorosiswhich has no cure. Considering the fact that fluorosis is an irreversible condition and h...
