PRRT as a tool for treatment of severe hypoglycemia in patients with primary inoperable insulinoma
Introduction
Severe hypoglycaemia in a course of inoperable insulinoma may be life-threating and it is not always well controlled even by high doses of diazoxide, which in some cases cause a significant toxicity. Nowadays, other forms of effective therapy are not available - use of protein...
Arsenic compounds have been known and used in medicine for centuries. Arsenic (III) in the form of simple inorganic compounds easily oxidizes, which makes its administration in the human body difficult. As2O3 is now used in the successful treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia.
The high affinity of arsenic to sulfur atoms and creating strong bonds with sulfur-containing compounds provides...
An early and accurate diagnosis of specific DNA mutations has a decisive role for effective treatment. Especially, when an immediate decision on treatment most needs to be made, the rapid and precise confirmation of clinical findings is vital. Herein, we show a new strategy for the gene mutation (BRAF c.1799T>A; p. V600E) identification using highly SERS-active and reproducible SERS substrate...
Despite the broad development of medicine for cancer treatment, current therapeutic approaches are not efficient at dealing with aggressive and therapy-resistant neoplasms such as breast cancer or hepatocellular carcinoma. In these tumors, one of the most difficult steps of the therapy process is metastases treatment due to the spread of small size tumors. Targeted therapy with most efficient...
Nowadays antibiotic resistance is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as one of the biggest treat for human health. [1] In the absence of substantial new antibiotic discovery, drug delivery systems (DDS) can be used to transport and release a biologically active compound at the needed site. [2-3] Among several nanocarriers used for drug delivery, mesoporous silica nanoparticles...
