Infliximab counteracts the increased synthesis of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), after which inflammation will decrease and recovery of the disease occur.
Statin-treatment has been shown to normalize the learning- and attention deficits in NF1 +/- mice by decreasing Ras activity. The fact that statins are effective in NF1 mice, combined with their very good safety profile, makes them an ideal…
Acclydine is a plant sourced alkaloid which has effects on protein structure and metabolism. In particular it leads to the activation of the pituitary to increase release of growth hormone. The GH axis has been shown to be disturbed in CFS, so this…
NO synthesis is compromised during sepsis through lack of L-arginine and may thereby contribute to impaired microcirculation and organ dysfunction. Supplementation of L-arginine in septic patients can replete L-arginine deficiency and will improve…
Unlike other potential sepsis treatments, Alkaline Phosphatase has been shown to act at the front end of the inflammatory cascade. By doing so, it eliminates the root cause of the SIRS, and prevents the progression into sepsis and septic shock.
Inhalation of rhDNase before sleep increases the expiratory flow at 25% of the actual forced vital capacity (MEF25) compared to inhalation of rhDNase in the morning.
Intrathecal methylprednisolone reduce the features of central sensitization in patients with complex regional pain syndrome type 1 having symptoms longer than 6 months and shorter than 6 years.
Resection of endometrial polyp(s) in women with postmenopausal bleeding and endometrial thickness of more than 4 mm will lead to less recurrent bleeding than in women in whom no resection is performed.
Primary: Upfront pre-treatment with a high bolus dosage of Tirofiban will result in a lower extent of residual ST segment deviation 1 hour after Primary Coronary Angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction, compared to no pre-treatment (besides…
Chronic sleep disorders are associated with dysfunctioning during the day. Circadian rhythm disorders are a frequently occurring cause of chronic sleep disorders. The time at which the endogenous melatonin production starts to rise plays a key-role…
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of oral ibandronate (versus placebo) added to the standard radiotherapy regimen for painful bone metastases to reduce pain, to reduce the need of analgesics, and to reduce skeletal-related events…
Nebulised DNase has a decreasing effect on the duration of a hospital admission in infants admitted with an RSV-bronchiolitis.

Adding amantadine to the standard anti-HCV treatment can improve sustained response rates in chronic hepatitis C.
Efficacy of inhaled DNase in children with an airway malacia and a lowerrespiratory tract infection.
We hypothesize that DNase improves mucociliary clearance and mucus retention in patients with (trachea)bronchomalacia during a lower respiratory tract infection, resulting in a faster resolution of symptoms and shorter duration of a lower…
On the assumption that N-acetylcysteine might prevent acute contrast induced nephropathy in critically ill patients, we study the effects of prophylactic intravenous administration of N-acetylcysteine in critically ill patients with renal…
1. In patients with non-specific low back pain, 10 ml lidocaine 2% reduce the pain more then 2 cm at the BOX-score compare to the placebo group; 2. In patients with non-specific low back pain, 9 ml lidocaine 2% with 1 ml corticosteroid (40 mg…
The degree of TH1-skewing by mycobacteria is controlled by NRAMP1 gene polymorphisms and related to the degree of inhibition of TH2-mediated disease.
Cannabinoid receptor (CB1) agonists, like marinol, lower the rate of TLESRs and can be useful in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
