The histologic findings on liver biopsy have consisted of cholestatic, hepatocellular, or mixed cholestatic-hepatocellular changes. The onset of signs/symptoms of hepatic dysfunction may occur during or several weeks after therapy has been discontinued. The hepatic dysfunction, which may be severe, is ...
We report the early results of PDT for locally recurrent prostate cancer after radiotherapy using the photosensitiser meso- tetrahydroxyphenyl chlorin (mTHPC). PATIENTS & METHODS: Ten patients aged 59-77 years (mean 68 years) with biopsy proven locally recurrent prostate cancer following external ...
IMNM is characterized by: proximal muscle weakness and elevated serum creatine kinase that persists despite discontinuation of statin treatment; positive anti-HMG-CoA reductase antibody; muscle biopsy showing necrotizing myopathy; and improvement with immunosuppressive agents. Additional neuromuscular and ...
In the U.S. trial, DU recurrence within 12 months was 2.4 times greater in patients treated with placebo than in the patients treated with famotidine. The 89 famotidine tablets-treated patients had a cumulative observed DU recurrence rate of 23%, compared to a 57% in the 89 patients receivi...
In reported case series, some patients were diagnosed on biopsy and in the absence of extra-renal manifestations (e.g., fever, rash or arthralgia). Discontinue naproxen and esomeprazole magnesium delayed-release tablets and evaluate patients with suspected acute TIN [see Contraindications (4)]. ...
For dabigatran, there is no consensus regarding the management of patients taking dabigatran who are referred for AF ablation. The results depend on the period of dabigatran interruption. Nearly uninterrupted anticoagulation (holding the morning dose), which theoretically has a better protection from per...
Biopsy must be considered in most cases of idiopathic leukoplakia to establish a microscopic baseline for the lesion. The optimal management of mildly dysplastic lesions has yet to be determined, but there is agreement that moderate to severe dysplasias should be removed or destroyed (scalpel, ...
Oral biofluids have several advantages over conventional skin biopsy biomarker screening: First, it is a non-invasive method with an easy, quick, and less time-consuming collection that may be performed in basic clinical settings. Second, saliva and gingival crevicular fluid samples are much easier...
This process of qualitative and minute evaluation of biopsy image by the pathologist is a time-consuming process that results in a delay in disease detection and, hence, there will be a delay in treatment. In this aspect, there is a need for automated detection of OSCC to ensure a quick ...
(accuracy, precision, sensitivity, and specificity). Moreover, the CNN-based methods were compared against machine learning approaches through the same dataset. The results show the performance of CNNs, with a classification accuracy of up to 96.76%, is better than the machine-learning-based ...
