Frequency of resistance to systemically administered Meglumine Antimoniate (Glucantime) in patients with acute cutaneous Leishmaniasis: A cross-sectional study
Background and aim: Pentavalent antimony compounds are the first line treatment for cutaneous leishmaniasis. Clinical resistance to pentavalent antimony in the form of meglumine antimoniate (Glucantime) has been recognized as a problem in leishmaniasis. Herein, clinical response to Glucantime were studied in patients suffered from cutaneous leishmaniasis.Materials and Methods: In a cross-sectio...
متن کاملNicotinic acid activates the capsaicin receptor TRPV1: Potential mechanism for cutaneous flushing.
OBJECTIVE Nicotinic acid (also known as niacin or vitamin B3), widely used to treat dyslipidemias, represents an effective and safe means to reduce the risk of mortality from cardiovascular disease. Nonetheless, a substantial fraction of patients discontinue treatment because of a strong side effect of cutaneous vasodilation, commonly termed flushing. In the present study, we tested the hypothe...
متن کاملUrotensin-II induces ear flushing in rats.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE While investigating the effects of systemic urotensin II (U-II), a potent vasoactive peptide acting at the UT receptor, we observed ear pinna flushing after systemic administration to conscious rats. In the present study, U-II-induced ear flushing was quantified in terms of ear pinna temperature change and potential mechanisms were explored. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH U-II-i...
متن کاملHot Flushes, Vascular Reactivity and the Role of the Alpha-adrenergic System
Background: 70% of postmenopausal women suffer from hot flushes but the pathophysiology is poorly understood. Proposed mechanisms include altered peripheral vascular reactivity and a narrowed thermoneutral zone. A trigger has not yet been identified, however the alpha-adrenergic system and specifically noradrenaline has been implicated Aim: Assess the role of the alpha-adrenergic system by stud...
متن کاملLangerhans cell Histiocytosis: Report of a case with cutaneous lesions with favorable response to oral Thalidomide
We report of a 29-year-old man presented with yellow-red, scaling papules on the skin of scalp, retro-auricular folds, inguinal, axillary, chest and abdomen. The lesions had a poikilodermatious appearance in some areas, such as trunk. The patient also had diabetes insipidus and skull osteolytic lesions. The diagnosis of langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) was suggested based on H and E staining...
