Is it necessary to treat mild asthmatic patients with the full dose treatment?
BACKGROUND Routine protocol of asthma treatment has been focused on symptom suppression but severity of inflammation and spirometry findings may be neglected. We investigated the efficacy of full dose treatment protocol on patients with mild asthma symptoms with normal spirometry. MATERIALS AND METHODS A before-after clinical trial study was conducted on patients with asthma symptoms (dyspnea...

Background: About 5–10% of patients with asthma suffer from poorly-controlled disease despite corticosteroid (CS) therapy. Methods: 21 severe and 30 mild asthma patients were recruited and underwent collection of blood sample. We determined whether there were any differences in inflammatory biomarkers between severe and mild asthma patients or not.Results: Levels of Interleukin-8 (IL-8) and Int...

The objective of this study were to obtain dosimetric data from a patient with thyroid cancer simultaneously undergoing peritoneal dialysis therapy, so as to determine the appropriate amount of 131I activity to be applied therapeutically. Percentages of radioiodine in the blood and the whole-body were evaluated, and radiation absorbed doses were calculated according to OLINDA/EXM software. Whol...
full textIs it necessary to increase the dose of levothyroxine in patients with hypothyroidism who use omeprazole?
OBJECTIVE It is believed that gastric pH interferes in levothyroxine absorption. Omeprazole, which acts by blocking the secretion of gastric acid, might interfere in hypothyroidism control in patients using levothyroxine and this effect could be dose dependent. The present study aimed to investigate this possibility. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Twenty-one patients with primary hypothyroidism who had...
full textSudden death and ventricular preexcitation: is it necessary to treat the asymptomatic patients?
Currently, asymptomatic ventricular preexcitation, which has been put at rest for many decades, remains a clinical challenge as there are no predictors of sudden death, which can be the first clinical presentation of the syndrome. Identification of risk factors for sudden death is important, considering the availability of a definitive treatment. Now, as radiofrequency catheter ablation of acce...
