OBJECTIVE To determine the outcome of combination of low dose oral Prednisolone with oral propranolol for the treatment of infantile hemangioma. METHODS The patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria were registered through outpatient department. Diagnosis was confirmed clinically and on Color Doppler ultrasonography (CD).

Abstract Beta-adrenergic blocking agents (abbreviated as beta-blockers) have been used for treating various cardiovascular diseases. However, the potential asthma exacerbation is one of major adverse effects beta-blockers. This study aimed to compare level risk an attack in patients receiving We searched randomized controlled trials (RCTs) either placebo-controlled or active-controlled design. ...

In patients with neurocardiogenic syncope, head-up tilt often evokes acute loss of consciousness accompanied by vasodilatation, increased plasma adrenaline and systemic hypotension. Since hypotension increases adrenaline levels and adrenaline can produce skeletal muscle vasodilatation by activating beta2 receptors, adrenaline might induce a positive feedback loop precipitating circulatory colla...

Twelve patients with angina pectoris were evaluated in a single blind crossover study with respect to objective changes in exercise performance on the treadmill and subjective, clinical improvement on oral administration of propranolol, isosorbide dinitrate (ISD), and a combination of propranolol and ISD. Combined objective and subjective evaluations showed that nine of 12 patients improved on ...

Because the mechanism of adverse reactions to abrupt withdrawal of propranolol in patients with coronary disease is an enigma, we studied the effect of cessation of propranolol on beta receptor reactivity to catecholamine stimulation. Heart rate and maximum rate of rise of left ventricular pressure (dP/dt max) during isoproterenol infusions and plasma free fatty acids (FFAs) after epinephrine i...
