Difference in the Incidence of Cough Induced by Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors: a Comparative Study Using Imidapril Hydrochloride and Enalapril Maleate.

SLCO1B1 Variants and Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitor (Enalapril) -Induced Cough: a Pharmacogenetic Study

Clinical observations suggest that incidence of cough in Chinese taking angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors is much higher than other racial groups. Cough is the most common adverse reaction of enalapril. We investigate whether SLCO1B1 genetic polymorphisms, previously reported to be important determinants of inter-individual variability in enalapril pharmacokinetics, are associated with t...

a comparative study of the relationship between self-, peer-, and teacher-assessments in productive skills

تمایل به ارزیابی جایگزین و تعویض آن با آزمون سنتی مداد و کاغذ در سالهای اخیر افزایش یافته است. اکثر زبان آموزان در کلاس های زبان از نمره نهایی که استاد تعیین میکند ناراضی اند. این تحقیق جهت بررسی ارزیابی در کلاس های زبان انگلیسی به هدف رضایتمندی زبان آموزان از نمره هایشان انجام گرفته است که در آن نمرات ارائه شده توسط سه گروه ارزیاب (ارزیابی خود دانشجو، همسالان واستاد) در مهارت های تولید (تکل...

Bronchial hyperreactivity and cough due to angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors.

Seventeen patients using angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors for hypertension were evaluated with baseline spirometry followed by determination of bronchial reactivity by challenge with methacholine. There were nine coughers and eight noncoughers in the study. Among the nine coughers, eight demonstrated bronchial hyperreactivity. Conversely, none of the noncoughers disclosed bronchia...

The Effect of Enalapril, an Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitor, on Diabetic Neuropathy: A Double Blind Random–Allocated Study

OBJECTIVE: Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common endocrine diseases with micro-vascular complications and is a common cause of polyneuropathy. We studied the effect of enalapril on electrophysiologic criteria and clinical symptoms of patients with type II diabetes and sensory neuropathy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A double blind study was conducted on 45 Patients with type II diabetes and ne...
