Curcumin in Stevens-Johnsons Syndrome: Culprit or Bystander?
To the Editor: Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS) represents an immunologically mediated disease due to hypersensitivity to drugs or infections. It is a diffuse, severe mucocutaneous eruption involving mucosal surfaces, with or without visceral involvement or fever. Its pathogenesis is not well understood but mechanisms such as keratinocyte apoptosis are well documented. We report the case of a wom...
متن کاملSpontaneous bilateral corneal perforation in stevens- johnsons syndrome-a challenge in management.
A 42-year-old man from Ghana presented with bilateral painful corneal perforations following ingestion of a sulphur-based antibiotic. Emergency bilateral penetrating keratoplasty was performed, with restoration of globe integrity. However, surgical complications arose such as non-healing epithelial defect, secondary infection, graft dehiscence, and mounting intraocular pressure. This case illus...
متن کاملModeling Surgical Procedures to Assist in Understanding Surgical Approach
Often within the clinical environment of a neurosurgical brain tumor procedure, the surgeon is faced with the difficulty of orienting the patient’s head to maximize the success of removing the pathology. Currently, these decisions are based on the experience of the surgeon. The primary objective of this paper is to demonstrate how a mathematical model can be used to evaluate the different patie...
متن کاملLactoferrin regulates the immune responses in post-surgical patients.
The effect of oral administration of lactoferrin (LF) was studied to determine if it could modify post-surgical immune response. The action of LF was evaluated in 18 LF-treated patients vs 28 placebo counterparts. Patients (women and men, mean age 50 years) were given daily oral doses (20 mg each) of LF for 5 consecutive days prior to thyroid surgery. The following immune response parameters we...
متن کاملCell-mediated and humoral immune responses to herpes simplex virus and cytomegalovirus in renal transplant patients.
Cell-mediated immunity to herpes simplex virus and cytomegalovirus, using the lymphocyte transformation test and interferon induction in lymphocytes, was studied in 59 patients from 1 day to 7 years after allotransplantation and compared with the results in normal subjects. Both parameters were permanently depressed with regard to cytomegalovirus. With herpes simplex virus, interferon productio...
