Transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TFESI) is frequently used for the treatment of lumbar radiculopathy.A retrospective analytical study was conducted at a pain clinic among 100 adult patients more than 18 yearsof age who underwent ‘Transforaminal injection’ Lumbar radiculopathy from November 2017 toDecember 2020. Group A (50 patients) received with Particulate corticosteroid(Triamcinolo...

OBJECTIVE Pharmacokinetic studies have shown that the biological effect of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) is equivalent to that of triamcinolone hexacetonide (TH), if used at double the dosage. In this study we compared the efficacy of intra-articular TA at a dose twice that of TH in symmetrically involved joints, in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). METHOD Children with active...

The results of a study (Zuckner, 1961) evaluating the therapeutic response of intra-articularly administered triamcinolone acetonide* (hereafter referred to as TActn) and triamcinolone diacetate* (TDac) suggested that large doses of these hormones had a profound systemic effect. The injection of either of these hormones in a dose of 100 mg. into a knee joint affected by rheumatoid arthritis res...

To compare the efficacy of intravitreal bevacizumab and macular laser vis-a-vis intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide and macular laser in primary treatment for diabetic macular edema. Randomised, prospective, comparative two-arm, non-interventional study with five time points. 60 eyes of 30 patients with bilateral DME and no previous ocular intervention participated in the study and were random...

Background: Pemphigus vulgaris is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by cutaneous and mucosal blistering. Surprisingly, the management of oral lesions has been detailed only infrequently. As current topical therapies for oral lesions are of limited efficacy, application of calcineurin inhibitors is considered to be a potential option. The aim of this essay was to investigate the efficacy ...

Kinetic and molecular properties of components binding [3H]triamcinolone acetonide were studied using 105,000g supernatants of lactating mammary gland, R3230AC, and dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) induced mammary tumors of the rat. Using a dextran-coated charcoal adsorption procedure, the relationship between specific glucocorticoid binding and protein concentration was linear in the range of ...

We report a case of a human leukocyte antigen B27 (HLA-B27)-negative patient with cystoid macular edema (CME) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) after treatment with triamcinolone acetonide. The patient complained of deterioration of visual acuity of the right eye during the last 10 days. At presentation visual acuity of the right eye was 0.2, and the ophthalmic examination did not reveal any sign...
