Considering that in HH patients we achieved good results in pubertal development, using hCG treatment (1500, IU every 6 days), 8 HH thalassemic patients (14 5/12-17 yrs;all with bone age more than 13 6/12)were treated with the same regimen. In 4 out of these 8, purified FSH (75 ...
SARS-CoV-2 is a subgenus Sarbecovirus of the genus Betacoronavirus1. The pathogenesis of COVID-19 is still poorly understood, but it has been speculated that SARS-CoV-2 first binds to the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor on the surface of epithelial cells in the nasal cavity...
However, the first indication of treatment success is gained only after a week, shown by a sufficient decrease in HCG concentration between the fourth and seventh day after treatment. As an earlier indication of treatment success of the single-dose regimen might reduce women’s anxiety and ...
Extrapolating from these approaches, a combination of systemic and intrathecal chemotherapy may provide additional benefits in leptomeningeal gastric cancer, provided the patient can tolerate such an intensive combined regimen. Identifying the specific mutational profile of LM and its response to treatment ...

A meta-analysis of 10 studies analysing health-care provider behaviours in medical encounters showed that patient compliance (defined as appointment keeping or compliance with treatment regimen) correlated positively with the amount of information (general discussion, overview of drugs treatment, procedures...
(cAMP) is a second messenger that has pleiotropic effects on the TME. The downstream effectors of cAMP include cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), exchange protein activated by cAMP (EPAC) and ion channels. While cAMP can activate PKA or EPAC and promote cancer cell growth, it can also ...
However, the overall survival (OS) rate of advanced HCC patients remains low, and less than one-third of them benefit from chemotherapy. Drug resistance is apparent within six months of initiating the treatment regimen [7]. Thus, further research is necessary to improve the outcome of such a...
Study participants self-administered medications for 8–12 days; the starting Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) dose was 75–125 IU/day human Menopausal Gonadotropins (hMG) was adjusted per individual response using an established step-down regimen until the day of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG...
