Prednisone: the last gasp of immunosuppresive therapy for restenosis prevention

Prednisone: the last gasp of immunosuppresive therapy for restenosis prevention.

Once restenosis was recognized as a major limitation of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), investigations probed the mechanisms and developed therapeutic antirestenosis strategies to combat this phenomenon. Early on in the efforts to understand the mechanisms responsible for restenosis, two primary processes were identified following mechanical injury by the balloon angioplasty to the ve...

Cotton’s river inter-linking scheme was double edged; it had to draw capital investments for navigation and irrigation schemes while simultaneously starving the same for the railways, which was then being touted as the most viable mode for mass transport in India.

Because cell ...
