BACKGROUND Hemangioma is the most common tumor of neonatal period and it is almost always appeared by the end of the first week of life and can be found mostly in head and neck area. This study evaluated the synergistic effect of bleomycin, triamcinolone and epinephrine in treatment of hemangioma and arteriovenous malformations. METHODS In this multicenter study, a combination of bleomycin, t...

Open access: Despite the exceptional level of sophistication in cross-coupling chemistry, reactions of substrates that incorporate the leaving group as an integral part into a heterocyclic scaffold are scarce. The title reaction outlines the utility of this reaction format (see scheme; acac=acetylacetonate), provides a convenient entry into stereodefined diene carboxylates, and adds a new chapt...

abstract background and purpose: paederus associated dermatitis has always been considered as a health problem in the northern of iran. since until now, the traditional method and some corticosteroids have been used in the treatment of paederus dermatitis (pd) and no comprehensive studies have been carried out on the new method of treatment. therefore, this study was aimed to compare the anti-i...

purpose: to compare the results of intravitreal bevacizumb (ivb) injection alone or in combination with intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide (ivt) versus macular laser photocoagulation (mpc) as primary treatment of diabetic macular edema (dme). methods: in this randomized clinical trial, 150 eyes of 129 patients with clinical dme and no previous treatment were enrolled. the eyes were randomly a...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the efficacy of intralesional triamcinolone in enhancing regression in various type of hemangiomas. SETTING Outpatients department of a teaching hospital Subjects: One hundred and five patients with rapidly growing surface hemangioma. The age ranged from 1 month to 15 months (mean 7 months). INTERVENTION Intralesional triamcinolone administered at monthly intervals, r...

The aim of the study was to compare the length of treatment and efficiency of applied therapy in two groups of patients with chalazion who underwent surgical procedure or got triamcinolone application in chalazion. Our study included 30 patients with chalazions that persisted for about one month. All of them were resistant to applied topical antimicrobial therapy. These patients were devided in...

Ophthalmic drug delivery to the posterior segment of eye has been challenging due complex ocular anatomy. Intravitreal injection drugs was introduced deliver therapeutic doses in segment. Different diseases including age-related macular degeneration, diabetic edema, retinal vein occlusions, uveitis, and cystoid among others, have historically treated with intravitreal corticosteroids injections...

A 37-year-old South-Asian male presented to our clinic with a crusty, verrucous-like, scaly plaque of the left ala of the nose. After ruling out infectious and other epidermal bullous diseases, we finalized a diagnosis of localized pemphigus foliaceus, an exceptionally rare disorder with only 15 cases reported in the literature to date. The hyperkeratotic lesions responded favorably to a 3-week...

Five cationic platinum(II) complexes of general formula, [Pt(NH(3))(2)(β-diketonate)]X are reported, where X is a noncoordinating anion and β-diketonate = acetylacetonate (acac), 1,1,1,-trifluoroacetylacetonate (tfac), benzoylacetonate (bzac), 4,4,4-trifluorobenzoylacetonate (tfbz), or dibenzoylmethide (dbm), corresponding, respectively, to complexes 1-5. The log P values and the stabilities of...

We have successfully implemented a facile, one-pot solventless synthesis procedure starting from acetylacetonate salts and CaH(2) to obtain carbon-coated ferromagnetic metallic Ni and Fe nanoparticles at low temperature. The use of CaH(2) as a reductant drastically reduces reaction temperature down to 140 °C.
