Neurotoxicity is one of the common side effects anticancer chemotherapy. This pathology has a detectability 38–90%. In some cases, it causes not only significant decrease life quality but also dose cytostatics. Therefore, tasks early diagnosis, prevention and treatment neurotoxicity are very relevant. Sensors underlying detection, especially neuroinflammation processes, needed to develop an eff...

PURPOSE Paclitaxel is used for the treatment of several solid tumors and displays a high interindividual variation in exposure and toxicity. Neurotoxicity is one of the most prominent side effects of paclitaxel. This study explores potential predictive pharmacokinetic and pharmacogenetic determinants for the onset and severity of neurotoxicity. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN In an exploratory cohort of ...

Cortical blindness and speech and motor disturbances can also occur. Changes seen in cerebral white matter on imaging studies are nonenhancing areas of hypoattenuation on CT and T2 prolongation on MR...

Acrylamide (AA) is an important industrial chemical agent that is mainly used in the production of polymers and copolymers. Recently it has been attention because of its production in the diet at high-temperature (>120 ºC) processes such as cooking, frying, toasting, roasting or baking of high carbohydrate foods.

We present 89-year-old female patient a medical history of hypertension and chronic kidney disease who was admitted for acute tracheobronchitis anemia related to diverticular disease. As complication, she developed cystitis caused by extended spectrum ß-lactamases...

Neurotoxicity is one of the most frequent side-effects of oxaliplatin. Oxaliplatin-induced cumulative and dose-limiting neurotoxicity either results in dose reduction or decreases the patients' quality of life. However, the symptoms of neurotoxicity often vary among patients. The current study presents the case of a male with rectal cancer, who was administered a cumulative oxaliplatin dose of ...

Objective. Oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neurotoxicity continues to be a kind of frequent dose-limiting toxicity for many cancer patients. This study evaluated the preventive effects of Guilongtongluofang on peripheral neurotoxicity induced by oxaliplatin in patients with colorectal tumor. Patients and Methods. From May 2007 to May 2011, we conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-control...

Objective: Cancer is the most common cause of death after cardiovascular diseases. Cisplatin used in types cancer produces neurotoxicity. In this study, we aimed to investigate effects pomegranate peel extract (1) different doses, as potent antioxidants, on prevention neurotoxicity due cisplatin, which frequently treatment.
