Acute Pulmonary Embolism Induced by Pomalidomide Plus Low-Dose Dexamethasone

Usage of non-ionic contrast agents in patients with multiple myeloma, who have normal creatinine level, is not high risk to develop contrast-induced nephropathy. Novel agents has improved prognosis of patients with myeloma but immunomodulatory drug-containing therapy such as lenalidomide and pomalidomide has a risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and pulmonary embolism (PE). Contrast-enhanced C...

A novel triple therapy for ITP using high-dose dexamethasone, low-dose rituximab, and cyclosporine (TT4).

Promising reports of combination immunosuppression with high-dose dexamethasone and rituximab for the treatment of primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) have recently emerged. They suggest a potential to further optimize the efficacy of therapy. We investigate the use of a novel combination of conventional therapies in ITP given over 4 weeks. From 2011 to 2014, 20 patients were prospectively en...

A comparative study on effect of low dose Ketamine versus Dexamethasone on intraoperative nausea and vomiting during cesarean section under spinal anesthesia

 Aims and background: Intraoperative nausea and vomiting causes anxiety for the patient , gynecologist and anesthesiologist, and can increase the risk of visceral injury during surgery due to unintentional abdominal movements. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of low-dose Ketamine and dexamethasone in controlling nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing cesarean section wi...

A phase 1/2 study of lenalidomide with low-dose oral cyclophosphamide and low-dose dexamethasone (RdC) in AL amyloidosis.

In this phase 1/2 study, we explored the feasibility and activity of an oral regimen of lenalidomide with low-dose dexamethasone and low-dose oral cyclophosphamide (RdC) in patients with primary systemic light chain amyloidosis. RdC was given for up to 12 cycles in prespecified cohorts at escalated doses: 13 patients were treated in phase 1 and 24 in phase 2; 65% were previously untreated, and ...
