Micrometastases in neuroblastoma: are they clinically important?

Despite advances in the treatment of neuroblastoma (NBL), recurrence and metastases continue to pose major problems in clinical management. The relation between micrometastases and the development of secondary disease is not fully understood. However, accurate methods to detect low numbers of tumour cells may allow the evaluation of their role in the disease process, and by implication the poss...

Streptokinase--a clinically useful thrombolytic agent.

A failure of hemostasis and consequent formation of blood clots in the circulatory system can produce severe outcomes such as stroke and myocardial infraction. Pathological development of blood clots requires clinical intervention with fibrinolytic agents such as urokinase, tissue plasminogen activator and streptokinase. This review deals with streptokinase as a clinically important and cost-ef...

Point: Postprandial Glucose Levels Are a Clinically Important Treatment Target

Nateglinide, a member of the meglitinide class, which has been shown to lower postprandial hyperglycemia by increasing the first phase of insulin secretion, was not effective in decreasing both the new cases of diabetes and the new cardiovascular even...
