Study shows pine bark naturally decreases severe chronic venous insufficiency
Recent findings published in the journal of Clinical and Applied Thrombosis/Hematosis show a significant symptom reduction of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) in patients after supplementing with Pycnogenol® (pic-noj-en-all), an antioxidant plant extract from the bark of the French maritime pine tree. Over 35 years of research on Pycnogenol® demonstrate the antioxidant's ability to improve blo...Intravenous gene therapy protects normal tissue of mice during whole-body radiation
therapy administered intravenously could be used as an agent to protect vital organs and tissues from the effects of ionizing radiation in the event of large-scale exposure from a radiological or nuclear bomb, according to an animal study presented today by University of Pittsburgh researchers at the 48th Annual Meeting of the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (ASTRO) in Phi...Intravenous nanoparticle gene therapy shows activity in stage IV lung cancer
A cancer-suppressing gene has been successfully delivered into the tumors of stage 4 lung cancer patients via an intravenously administered lipid nanoparticle in a phase I clinical trial at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. The gene, FUS1, also was found to be active in the metastatic non-small cell lung cancer tumors. "We've treated 13 patients in this first-in-hum...UW Hospital and Clinics install smart intravenous pumps
Errors like these occur every da...Painkilling Patch As Effective As Intravenous Delivery Systems
Findings from a recent study has shown that an adhesive patch that resembles the size of a credit card and uses a tiny electric current to deliver pain medication through the skin does the job about as well as conventional intravenous devices. // The patch is affixed to the patient's upper arm or chest after surgery. Both the patch and some intravenous delivery systems allow the patient to self-m...Increased Risk For Venous Thrombosis In Cancer Patients
Based on findings of a recent study researchers say , cancer patients have a seven-fold increased risk for venous thrombosis, // or blood clots in the legs or lungs. Researchers studied 3,220 patients, ages 18 to 70, who had a blood clot in their legs or lungs. They evaluated different tumor sites, the presence of distant metastases, and carrier status of gene mutations. Patients underwe...Intravenous Vitamin C (Ascorbate) for Cancer Treatment
Research has found that Intravenous Vitamin C administration in the form of Ascorbate was tested on nine cancer cell lines and four normal cell lines. The vitamin C did not have any effect or toxicity in normal cell // lines but Killed 50% of cancer cells in the tissue culture animal cell line and almost 100% sensitive on lymphoma cell lines. Dr. Mark Levine and colleagues from Instit...Oral use of ZYVOX (Linezolid) is better to Intravenous Vancomycin use for Skin Infections
McKinnon and his team have found out the benefits of oral ZYVOX for the treatment of skin infections and pneumonia caused by bacterial infections. They compared data from 80 health care clinics and compared it with the treatment // of Intravenous Vancomycin. The results show that oral tablets of Linezolid (ZYVOX), provides better treatment and significant savings of money spent to health clinics...The ideal composition of intravenous lipid emulsion
The body responds to a diverse range of insults, such as surgery, infection and injury by the activation of a wide range of cell types of the immune system, creating a number of potent cellular actions and mediators.// The inflammatory response, although essential for fighting infection, may damage the host. Its strength depends on pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators, cytokines and lipid mediato...Dornier Medilas D Fibertom Endovenous Laser Treatment
