infantile haemangiomas (ih) are the most common vascular tumors occurring in early childhood, with a prevalence of approximately 5-10% of infants. these vascular tumors are divided into two main groups including infantile haemangioma and vascular malformations. although, haemangioma of infancy are common, benign and self-limited tumors, a significant percent of these lesions are associated with...

Plasma potassium concentration was measured at admission in 1234 patients who presented with acute chest pain. One hundred and ninety five patients were on beta blockers before admission. The potassium concentrations of patients admitted early (within four hours of onset of symptoms) were compared with those admitted later (4-18 hours after onset of symptoms). There was a transient fall in plas...

BACKGROUND There is conflicting information regarding the effects of selective and nonselective beta-blocker treatment in patients with COPD. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS This nested case-control study used the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. We included COPD patients who used inhalation steroid and beta-blockers between 1998 and 2010. From this cohort, there were 16,067 patie...

Beta blockers play an important role in the treatment of many cardiovascular diseases. Despite their beneficial effect, the significant difference in their pharmacological properties will influence their metabolic effect. The aim of the present study is to compare the metabolic effect of 4 different beta blockers; two nonvasodilator beta blockers (a non-selective beta blocker, propanolol and ca...

Background and objectives: In osteoporosis, low bone mass growing fragility are main symptoms. BB users had greater BMD and/or decreased fracture risk, according to observational studies. Other studies found no effect of on risk osteoporosis disease. this study, the selective non-selective in osteoporotic individuals was studied. Methods: A total fifty patients both genders were included random...

BACKGROUND Non-selective and selective beta-blockers have been shown to improve outcomes in chronic heart failure (CHF). Recent data suggests the non-selective beta-blockers have a more favourable effect on outcomes than beta(1)-selective agents. We sought to examine the differential effects of non-selective versus selective beta-blockade on myocardial substrate utilization in patients with CHF...

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background 8% the population suffer recurrent episodes syncope which can cause physical injury and psychological morbidity. The extent to therapeutic options effectively reduce recurrence beyond placebo remain unclear. Methods We performed a meta-analysis randomised trials including pharmacological, cardiac pacing interventions fo...

BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a common comorbidity in people with asthma. However, safety concerns have caused heterogeneity in clinical guideline recommendations over the use of cardioselective beta-blockers in people with asthma and CVD, partly because risk in the general population has been poorly quantified. The aim of this study was to measure the risk of asthma exacerbations ...
