Avatar f tn Compared with tacrine, donepezil, and rivastigmine, HupA has better penetration through the blood-brain barrier, higher oral bioavailability, and longer duration of AChE inhibitory action. HupA has been found to improve cognitive deficits in a broad range of animal models. HupA possesses the ability to protect cells against hydrogen peroxide, beta-amyloid protein (or peptide), glutamate, ischemia and staurosporine-induced cytotoxicity and apoptosis.

Since her doctor discover problem with GOT and GPT she stopped taking atorvastatin (3mounts before) because they were suspicious that atorvastatin was reason for this problem but again GOP and GPT increase.

338416 tn?1420045702 Well, as you all know, I've been taking 5mg of donepezil a day for my cognitive impairment. I'm on #4 today. Interestingly, I feel like I might have had a mini-flare at the beginning of the week (or maybe it was the allergies) - but despite that, my brain feels more 'on.' I'm remembering stuff better, and I'm able to stay on task better. I drove last night, and I felt safer - less distracted, more able to concentrate on driving.
Avatar n tn Here goes... I have been seeing several doctors (all cross referred) and all are perplexed (thier words). Meanwhile I am confused, frustrated and suffering. I am a married 53yo tall otherwise avg male. Until 18mo ago I was in good health, very active, and a college professor. I do not drink or do drugs. I am now unable to work or do most of the activities I once enjoyed. My mother died of cancer and my father died ostensibly from alcohol induced cerebral ataxia.
Avatar m tn Lactulose vs. Xifaxan to decrease the ammonia. And beta blockers vs. banding for the varices which I presume are esophageal.

My best.

Then soft vs hard would be the difference between your lips and nose. I know way to much information, but you asked;-) It is also best when you cervix is wet (ie egg white stretchy discharge). Just remember most fertile is SHOW--Soft, High, Open, Wet. Again sorry I can't help with open vs closed. Good luck.
Avatar f tn Study Confirms Benefits of Vitamin E in Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis Megan Brooks May 4, 2010 — Supplementation with the natural form of vitamin E (800 IU/day) has beneficial effects in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), but pioglitazone's benefits are less clear, according to the latest findings from the Pioglitazone vs Vitamin E vs Placebo for the Treatment of Nondiabetic Patients with Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (PIVENS) trial, reported online April 28 in the New England

Of note, relapse rates were also not statistically significantly different between the 2 arms (33% vs 47% with 72 vs 48 weeks of therapy, respectively; P = .1699).

Avatar n tn I was watching my local news today and they started talking about VS bras and people experiencing rashes and itching. I can't believe it. For over a year I was to the dermatologist, gynocologist and family doctor trying to get help for the unbelieveable itching that I had on my breasts. I was wearing a VS bra. I went through many topical creams, changed my diet, changed my detergent, even the doctors were baffled. Over the summer I went to VS and got new bras.

Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that gender (Women, OR 2.3, P< 0.001), low cholesterol levels (180mg/dL; OR 2.5, P< 0.03), low HDL (40 mg/dL, OR 3.5, P< 0.001), and high vitamin D levels ( 20 ng/ml, OR 3.8, P< 0.
Avatar n tn It means you will need to take thyroid medicine. What has your Dr. told you. Mine was 20 last week so my meds were increased I take Levoxyl. The reason mine went so high in my opinion is because I stopped taking the Levoxyl for a month or so. Felt lousy so had my blood tested and voila! Now I return in 6 weeks for another blood test to find the numbers. Maybe I will stay on the dose or it may need to be adjusted. This was my fault for stopping. They told me they like mine around 2.
Avatar m tn The HBsAg clearance rate was significantly greater in the extended therapy group than in the standard therapy group at 24 and 48 weeks post-treatment (33.3% vs. 10.5% and 35.7% vs. 10.5%, respectively; P < 0.05 for both). In addition, patients with an increase of more than 1 log10 IU/ml in HBsAg level from baseline to week 24 had a significantly lower level of HBsAg at end of treatment (0.54 ± 1.76 vs. 2.89 ± 1.27, P < 0.001), but a higher level of HBsAg clearance (64.3% vs. 7.
148588 tn?1465778809 Overall, sustained virological response (SVR) was significantly higher in patients treated with peginterferon plus Chinese herbs than in patients treated with peginterferon alone (81 % vs. 64 %, respectively; odds ratio, 2.60; 95 % confidence interval: 1.32-5.14; p < 0.05). A combined therapy of peginterferon plus Chinese herbs was also superior to peginterferon therapy in achieving an early viral response (EVR, 80 % vs. 70 %, respectively), a viral response at week 24 of treatment (82 % vs.
148588 tn?1465778809 The proportion of patients who achieved SVR with 24 weeks of triple therapy following a lead-in phase was 56% (P = .0005 vs standard of care) vs 54% with 28 weeks of triple therapy and no lead-in treatment (P = .013 vs standard of care). Another important finding concerns the incidence and extent of anemia.
Avatar m tn In genotype B, 100% (7/7) of responders had HBsAg≤50 IU/mL vs 14% (8/57) of NR/relapsers. In genotype C, 41% (11/27) of responders had HBsAg≤50 IU/mL vs 6% (4/64) of NR/relapsers. In genotype D, 60% (6/10) of responders had HBsAg≤1000 IU/mL vs 9.5% (2/21) of NR/relapsers.
