neuroleptic malignant syndrome (nms) is a rare fatal medical complication that occurs as a result of dopaminergic receptor blockage in the caudate at the termination of the nigrostriatal pathways (1), and may occur at any time following consumption of dopamine antagonists. this disorder also occurs in cases of sudden discontinuation of dopamine agonists and antagonists (2,3). some studies have ...

introduction gradenigo’s syndrome consists of ophthalmoplegia, facial palsy, and facial pain due to involvement of abducens and facial nerves as well as the trigeminal ganglion. this involvement is due to infections of ipsilateral middle ear and mastoid bone. case presentation a 14-month-old girl was referred to a private clinic with chief complaint of acute and sudden-onset right ophthalmopleg...

Apert syndrome is a congenital craniosynostosis syndrome comprising of bilateral coronal synostosis , symmetric syndactyly of hands and feet and midface hypoplasia. We present an atypical phenotype of this syndrome with right sided unilateral coronal synostosis. However, type I apert hand and other clinical and radiological features suggestthe diagnosis. Genetic analysis revealed an absence of ...

We have investigated the metabolism and disposition, in rabbits, of menogaril (7-OMEN), a new anthracycline antibiotic recently introduced into clinical trials. 7-OMEN was administered by rapid i.v. injection at a dosage of 2.5 mg/kg. 7-OMEN and metabolites were assayed by high performance liquid chromatography. Plasma concentrations of 7-OMEN declined in biexponential fashion with a terminal h...

Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID), characterized by a profound decrease in both the number and function of T cells, is related to more than 20 different mutations. Recombination-activating gene (RAG) 1 and 2 seem to be two of the most common forms presenting with various manifestations, including typical SCID, Omenn syndrome (OS), atypical SCID (AS), or delayed onset combined immunodefici...

In a Phase I study, menogaril (7-OMEN) was administered daily for 5 days/course, every 21-28 days. Dosages of 3.5, 7, 11.5, 17, and 31.5 mg/m2 were infused over 1 h, and dosages of 42, 50, and 56 mg/m2 were infused over 2 h. Pharmacokinetics was studied at all dosages. Plasma and urine samples were collected from 24 patients, and bile samples were also collected from 2 patients. 7-OMEN and meta...

7-con-O-Methylnogarol (7-OMEN) is a new anthracycline antitumor agent with significant activity in vivo against murine P388 and L1210 leukemia (140% increase in life span) and B16 melanoma (114% increase in life span). We report here the complex relationship that exists between intracellular drug concentration and killing of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO), B16, and L1210 cells in culture by 7-OMEN...
