despite multiple published studies reporting result of salvage regimens for relapsed and refractory hodgkin's lymphoma, there are no comparisons of different combinations.a total of 44 patients identified with refractory or relapsed hodgkin's lymphoma were considered eligible for this study. the patients were randomly divided into two groups of 22, one of which were treated with gdp regimen (ge...

Clinically significant responses after withdrawal of flutamide in patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer (HRPC) are well documented. Failure to recognize this syndrome of response results in potential morbidity due to salvage therapy, confusion in interpretation of disease state, and introduction of a possible source of error in clinical trials. In this case report, we describe a pati...

Silica refractory bricks are used especially in the metallurgical industries, due to desirable properties such as particularly their high melting point and their rigidity and strength at high temperatures. In this research, different amount of SiC were added to Silica refractory containing different binders such as Borax, Boric acid, Calcium nitride, Sodium tri poly phosphate, Sodium hexametaph...

Background: The induction chemotherapy regimen for acute myeloid leukemia has evolved as once induction is completed patients progress through the consolidation phase and achieve remission in 76% of cases. For patients with relapsed or refractory disease, alternative chemotherapy agents are available. Monoclonal antibody therapy with biological agents, such as the immunotoxin gemtuzumab ozog...

Background: Central post-stroke pain (CPSP) is a distressing pain syndrome, sometimes become refractory to the conventional pain managements. Anticonvulsants have been used to alleviate different central pains. Lamotrigine is a novel anticonvulsant and its proper dosage and its efficacy have not been well studied yet. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of 100 mg lamotrigine on ref...

in this study, slag penetration into a magnesia refractory monolithic was investigated by the crucible test method. a synthetic calcium aluminate slag system has been used to study commercial magnesia mix refractory for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 hours at 1450°c and 1600°c. it has been shown that the penetration rate is controlled by a diffusion mechanism at 1450°c. in this case, capillaries are the ...

background patients with severe refractory cardiac angina who are not candidates for any form of invasive treatment and are already on optimal medical therapy have few therapeutic options. enhanced external counter pulsation (eecp) offers an alternative palliative and possibly therapeutic option for these patients. eecp achieves this by inducing hemodynamic effects much similar to those of the ...

the prevalence of helicobacter pylori infection and the effect of its eradication on platelet count in 95 iranian patients with chronic refractory autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura (critp) was investigated. 69 of 95 patients were infected with h.pylori (72.6%). h.pylori eradication was obtained in 69 infected critp pa tients who were not in remission and had platelet count below 100×109 at th...
