Although iron chelation therapy with deferoxamine (DFO) results in improved life expectancy of patients with thalassemia, compliance with parenteral DFO treatment is unsatisfactory, underlining the need for alternative drugs and innovative ways of drug administration. We examined the chelating potential of pyridoxal isonicotinoyl hydrazone (PIH) analogs, alone or in combination with DFO, using ...

PURPOSE To investigate the incidence of postictal headache (PIH) and the factors potentially related to the occurrence of PIH in a Chinese epileptic center. METHODS Consecutive adult patients with epilepsy, referred to the outpatient clinic of the Epilepsy Center of the PLA General Hospital between February 01, 2012, and May 10, 2013, were recruited to this study. 854 patients with partial ep...

We investigated post-ictal headaches (PIH) using a questionnaire to ascertain their characteristics and compare them among different types of epilepsy. The subjects consisted of 34 patients with occipital lobe epilepsy (OLE) and 75 patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). PIH occurred in 62% of OLE and 23% of TLE (P < 0.05). The quality of pain in PIH was 'steady' in 71% of OLE and 29% of TL...

The aim of our study was to determine the relationship between serum calcium levels and PIH. In our study, we searched databases, including Wangfang, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, and PubMed, to find literature regarding the relationship between PIH and calcium levels. The meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.3 software. A total of 8 articles were included in our stud...

OBJECTIVE Pregnancy-induced hypertension/preeclampsia (PIH) and fetal growth restriction (FGR) share a common placental origin. The pathologic classification that divides placental lesions to maternal or fetal origin was compared between these disorders. STUDY DESIGN Placentas from pregnancies that were complicated by PIH, normotensive FGR, or by both (combined) were analyzed, and lesions wer...

In view of the high anti-oxidative potential oftocotrienol, the role of the tocotrienol-rich fraction (TRF) of palm oil in preventing pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) was explored in a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial in an urban teaching hospital. Healthy primigravidae were randomized to receive either oral TRF 100 mg daily or placebo, from early second trimester u...

Pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) may be a major predictor of pregnancy-associated intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). However, the relationship between PIH and long-term ICH risk is unknown.The objective of the study was to determine the association between PIH and ICH and to identify the predictive risk factors.Patients with newly diagnosed PIH were recruited from the Taiwan National Health Ins...

The Gender Action Plan (GAP) of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), as the 5-year strategy for gender mainstreaming in BiH, was adopted by the Council of Ministers of BiH on the 14th of September, 2006. The main goal of the BiH GAP is “to define strategies and realise program objectives to reach equality of women and men in Bosnia and Herzegovina” with the following joint strategic goals in all field...

Pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) is a common medical complication of pregnancy with a high incidence. The study comprised of 30 normal and 30 PIH cases in their third trimester of pregnancy and the following estimations were done: Serum Malondialdehyde level (MDA), Vitamin E, triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) and LDL-C. The PIH cases had significant rise in...
