Drug Politerapi Antiepileptik During Pregnancy and Risk of Fetal Malformations
Xtreme Fat Loss Diet System!
During pregnancy, drug politerapi antiepileptik (OAE), which includes valproate sustained a risk of malformations in the fetus than politerapi without this drug. This finding is the result of the study dr. Lewis Holmes and colleagues, from MassGeneral Hospital for Children in Boston, which was published online in mid June 2011 in the Archives of Neurology. During this time, it is known that women who consume more than one type of OAE during pregnancy have a higher risk of having infants with severe congenital malformations, compared to pregnant women who use only one type of OAE. Studies conducted dr. Holmes and his team will further strengthen the evidence of close links politerapi OAE use by pregnant women with the risk of malformations in the fetus.

Benefits and Risks Intra-arterial Chemotherapy for Retinoblastoma
Intra-arterial chemotherapy for the treatment of retinoblastoma can result in "dramatic response", but also raises the risk of side effects ranging from mild to severe. This finding revealed by dr. Carol Shields and colleagues, from the Wills Eye Institute Philadelphia, published in the Archives of Ophthalmology. In the study, intra-arterial chemotherapy (intra-arterial chemotherapy, IAC) was done in 17 children with retinoblastoma are aged 4 to 74 months. Complete response was found in 14 children and 10 of whom remained free of tumor when performed follow-up a year later.
Successful catheterization in 16 children with retinoblastoma median basal dimension of 20 mm and the average thickness of 9 mm. IAC is actually scheduled for 3 times with an interval of one month, but the researchers decided not to increase the cycles of chemotherapy if the tumor has shown complete regression. IAC is a primary therapy in 12 children, and the eyeball was saved in eight children among them - including all children who are classified as category C or D according to the International Classification of Retinoblastoma (scale categories: A through E; E most severe). Meanwhile, the eyeball is also saved on 2 of 4 children who underwent the IAC as a secondary therapy. Primary tumor regresses post-chemotherapy; basal dimensions shrink 31% and the thickness decreased 56%.
Tumor recurrence occurred in three children only once, each in the form of solid tumor, the seeds of the tumor in subretina (subretinal seeds), and the seeds of the tumor in the anterior chamber or glass body (anterior chamber or vitreous seeds). Enucleation had to be done in six children, external beam radiotherapy twice, and plaque radiotherapy once. Recognized researchers, IAC has a number of advantages over other therapeutic modalities for retinoblastoma cases, partly because the dose is small enough to do one day so enlarge the biological effects at the target location while minimizing toxic effects on other body parts. However, the IAC procedure is technically quite difficult, and children should be watched closely in order to be aware of the possibility of serious side effects. During follow-up period, reported some mild side effects of short duration, covering palpebra edema (in 13 children a month later), blefaroptosis (10 children), and orbital congestion (12 children), all of which recovered within 6 months. More serious side effects of oftalmika artery stenosis (3 cases of permanent, temporary 1 case) and central retinal artery occlusion (two cases of permanent, one temporary).
Researchers recommend that each health care center is working on fluorescein angiography IAC always do first in order to assess ocular blood flow, especially for detecting atrophy of the choroid. The team of researchers themselves have diagnosed five cases of choroid atrophy among patients who participated in this study. "The impact of atrophy of the choroid to the sharpness of vision can be very bad boy. In fact, enucleation should be performed on the eyeball atrophy choroid; if not, the child continues to be blind," said dr. Shields. Not encountered in cases of arterial embolism, metastasis, neurological defects, occlusion of the internal carotid artery or femoral artery, and stroke in children.
Thus, dr. Shields concludes that although retinoblastoma is very responsive to the IAC, the tendency should be wary of the emergence of toxic effects due to exposure to chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Therefore, the IAC for retinoblastoma should be considered with caution in certain cases.

Albumin levels is a predictor of nephropathy and cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes
Urinary albumin levels (UAC - Urinary albumin concentration) yan gdiperoleh of random checks can predict the presence of diabetic nephropathy, cardiovascular events, and death, as the ratio of albumin: creatinine (ACR) in patients with type 2 diabetes, according to the results of this study Dr. Luciana V. Viana, who delivered in the 93rd Annual Meeting of the Endocrine Society (Endo) in June 2011.
An examination of the urine is done randomly, using urine ACR, become the preferred method for diagnosing the presence of microalbuminuria, which is a risk factor for diabetic nephropathy, cardiovascular disease, and death. Although, several studies have assessed the benefits of using UAC in random urine tests for the

Gefitinib for Lung Cancer Non-Small-Cell
The results of a meta-analysis revealed that oral gefitinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor class of drugs, is effective as first-line therapy in patients living with lung cancer non-small-cell tumor whose cells contain the EGFR mutations (epidermal growth factor receptor). Early treatment with gefitinib produces ORR (objective response rate) and PFS (progression-free survival) is better, as well as the toxicity profile and quality of life, when compared with chemotherapy. The results of Dr.. Geoffrey Y. Ku and colleagues, from Johns Hopkins Singapore International Medical Center, is published online on Lung Cancer in May 2011.
Try Animal Studies. GSPE (grape seed proanthocyanidin extract) Preventing Doxorubicin Kardiotoksis Effects
Doxorubicin is one of the antitumor chemotherapeutic drug works and has been widely used. However, clinical application is very limited because kardiotoksisitas effects associated with cumulative dose. The mechanism causing such effects are expected kardiotosisitas the process of oxidative stress mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Doxorubicin increases intracellular ROS production that causes significant cell death and decreased redox ratio of reduced glutathione (GSH) / oxidized glutathione (GSSG) and disruption of mitochondrial membrane potential.
Studies in animals try one of them conducted by Yalcin, E. et al have been published in the Journal of Medicinal Food in 2010 showed that grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE), can reduce the formation of ROS induced by doxorubicin and may protect cardiomyocytes from oxidant injury induced by doxorubicin,

Same with Tamsusolin Silodosin Effective for BPH
Comparative study conducted in Taiwan showed that silodosin improve symptoms of lower urinary tract symptoms (lower urinary tract symptoms, LUTS) that accompany benign prostate enlargement (benign prostatic hyperplasia, BPH) as well as tamsulosin, and even more rarely cause side effects hypotension. As tamsulosin, silodosin is a class of drugs inhibiting alpha-1A-selective adrenoceptors, but higher selectivity. This was revealed by dr. Hong-Jeng Yu and colleagues from the National Taiwan University Hospital, Taipei, published online in the BJU International in mid-May 2011.
To find out whether a high-receptor selectivity in silodosin actually provide clinical benefit, the research team carry out a randomized double-blind study comparing tamsulosin silodosin in 209 patients with BPH. In the study for 12 weeks, patients were divided into two groups. Silodosin The first group received 4 mg twice daily, while the second group received tamsulosin 0.2 mg once daily (according to recommended doses in

Zinc supplementation may be helpful to Prevent Otitis Media in Children
Otitis media (inflammation of the middle ear, usually caused by infection) of people of all ages, but particularly in children. Approximately 164 million people worldwide suffer from hearing loss caused by this condition. Ninety percent were in poor countries. Because zinc supplementation can prevent pneumonia, researchers are also wondering whether zinc can also prevent otitis media.
Zinc is an important micronutrient that plays a role in optimizing the function of the immune system and body strength to resist infection. Some people, especially children in developing countries and poor countries, does not have an adequate intake of zinc from their diet. Researchers therefore conducted a study on the potential role of zinc supplementation in preventing infectious diseases, including middle ear infections.
