background and objective: as one of the widely used drugs, aspirin (acetyl-salicylic acid, asa) plays an important role in stroke treatment and prevention. in a previous study, we demonstrated asa injection at 30 min after ischemia onset is neuroprotective. to determine whether the neurons protected by asa had a normal ultrastructure, hippocampal ca1 pyramidal neurons were examined by transmiss...

vascularization of the follicle may play a role in its maturation and aspirin seems to increase this vascularization.in this investigation we have studied the effects of low-dose aspirin on ovarian and uterine response, implantation and pregnancy rates in patients undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (icsi). this prospective semirandomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was unde...

The authors report a case of a 48 year old woman with asthma, hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea and a NSAIDs-exacerbated respiratory diseas...

Although arterialovenous fistulae (AVF) is considered to be vital for chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, but they may cause complications and problems. For instance they may fail soon after their creation. The most important cause of failure in these cases is intrafistula thrombus formation. Whereas anti-platelet drugs are not routinely used after fistulae creation, we conducted this stud...

Alcohol sensitivity is reported in up to 74-86.5% of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) and especially those aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD). These typically report beverages fermented wood casks, fruit skins, or hops, but not other alcohol-containing drinks. We speculated that alcohol AERD/CRSwNP could result from activation basophils by polyphenols de...
