background and objectives: taking into account a few principles concerning human being, it becomes plausible that the human spirit would also have a similar reaction to spiritual “medicine” provided to it. in order to better understand how this is possible, we must consider the means by which the human spirit becomes resistant to spiritual remedies and compare them with the resistance developed...

breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies among women. although chemotherapy remains a major therapeutic approach to treat cancers, drug therapy often fails for several reasons, particularly the drug resistance. resistance to multiple chemotherapeutic agents is one of the most important problems in the treatment of different types of cancers. therefore, in this study a resistant sub ...

background: multi drug resistant (mdr) pseudomonas and acinetobacter species are defined as resistant to at least three classes of antibiotics. most studies have demonstrated that mdr gram negative infections convey increased mortality and morbidity. case: an 11-year –old girl was admitted to pediatric burns unit with burn injury of approximately 68% total body surface area (tbsa). discussion: ...

conclusions although the patients carrying m204i mutation were more likely to show lack of responses to lam therapy, lam replacing by other nucleoside/tide analogs plus hbig maybe still effective in decreasing hepatitis b recurrence after liver transplantation. however, it is suggested that drug resistance test should be considered by clinicians during therapeutic management to avoid the follow...

Multiple myeloma (MM) is predominantly an incurable malignancy despite high-dose chemotherapy, autologous stem cell transplant and novel agents. MM is a genetically heterogeneous disease and the complexity increases as the disease progresses to a more aggressive stage. MM arises from a plasma cell, which produces and secretes non-functioning immunoglobulins. Most MM cells are sensitive to prote...

The book combines fields which experience increasing interest in recent years: optofluidics, microfluidics and fighting multiple drug resistance (MDR) seen as part of infectious diseases domain. Ther eported results are of interest for life sciences, environment quality control and biomedical basic and applied research. Biomedical specialists, chemists, physicists, public health experts and eve...

INTRODUCTION Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common malignant paediatric brain tumour. Recurrence and progression of disease occurs in 15-20% of standard risk and 30-40% of high risk patients. We analysed whether circumvention of chemoresistance pathways (drug export, DNA repair and apoptotic inhibition) can restore chemotherapeutic efficacy in a panel of MB cell lines. RESULTS We demonstrat...
