comparison of oral prednisolone pulse therapy with intravenous methyl prednisolone pulse therapy in severe alopecia areata

Long-term intramuscular prednisolone therapy.

In a previous report on the use of the intramuscular route for prednisolone therapy (West, 1958), an account was given of sixteen patients treated by weekly depot injections of prednisolone acetate (Pfizer's Deltacortril suspension) for periods of from 4 to 11 months. The present report is of sixteen patients treated similarly for from 1 to 31 years (mean 20). The object for the study was to fi...

Oral calcium phosphate: a new therapy for Crigler-Najjar disease?

BACKGROUND & AIMS Calcium phosphate binds unconjugated bilirubin in vitro, and dietary calcium phosphate supplementation reduces the serum bilirubin level in rats with hereditary unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia (Gunn rats). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of oral calcium phosphate supplementation on plasma bilirubin levels in patients with Crigler-Najjar disease. METHODS A pl...

Plasma prednisolone levels and adrenocortical responsiveness after administration of prednisolone-21-phosphate as a retention enema.

Plasma prednisolone levels have been measured by radioimmunoassay after oral and rectal administration to healthy volunteers and to patients with idiopathic proctocolitis. The amount of prednisolone absorbed from a 20 mg retention enema given to patients with proctocolitis was about 44% of that absorbed from the same dose orally administered. Adrenocortical response to synthetic ACTH in patient...
