Avatar m tn A method for using thiazine dyes, especially methylene blue or methylene blue derivatives, in an immediate or controlled release formulation, alone or in combination with low levels of light or other drugs, to selectively inactivate or inhibit hepatitis infection, has been developed.

TauRx Therapeutics has suggested that the mechanism by which methylene blue might delay or reverse neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease is as an inhibitor of Tau protein aggregation. While methylene blue arguably has an effect on Tau aggregation, it also has an effect on mitochondrial function which is likely to play an important role.
Avatar f tn The standard surgical marking pen uses methylene blue or gentian violet, both compatible with living tissue. Sharpie pens offer a non smuge benefit and more durability and are less often used. If you have been permanently tattooed by the Sharpie pen, You may require a minor procedure to excise the pigment. I am not sure of lasers will be effective.
Avatar m tn Chloroquine is a well known anti-malarial agent, apart from which is a lysosomotropic agent, was used along with intercalating agent like methylene blue and anti-viral agents to treat clinically confirmed CHB patients. The present study is aimed to check the efficacy of earlier treated CHB patients to know their different infection status i.e. whether they completely recovered or chronic carrier.
Avatar f tn I am awaiting histology on a suspected ovarian cancer. I have bilateral cysts one is 10cm the other about 5cm. They are complex cysts. My ca125 is 133. The specialists have told me that they cannot tell me if the cysts are cancerous until they have the histology. I can see no logical reason that the cysts could be anything else. I do not think I have endometriosis (mispelt) can you give me anything hopeful to indicate this is not cancer or am I clutching at straws?

The amount of methylene chloride they use in food stuffs is non-toxic and harmless, although the substance itself can be toxic. Methylene chloride is a solvent.

Avatar n tn Because the doctors considered that the result of the histology was wrong, a second histological examination was performed. In the first histology 3 samples were taken and in the second 20. Something strange happened here.
Avatar m tn To evaluate the effect of treatment with peginterferon alpha-2b and ribavirin on liver histology in patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) with or without HIV infection. METHODS: Patients received peginterferon alpha-2b (1.5mu/kg/week during the first 4weeks; 1.0mu/kg/week thereafter) plus ribavirin (800-1200mg/day, adjusted for weight) for 24 (genotypes 2/3) or 48weeks (genotypes 1/4). Paired liver biopsy specimens were obtained at baseline and at the end of follow-up.
Avatar n tn Asians, women, non-smokers, and those with adenocarcinoma histology. This drug still has been found to benefit males, smokers, and those with squamous cell histology, but to a lesser extent.
Avatar f tn None of them have given me much insight into the disease or offered up much advice on how to deal with the pain other than a prescription called Utira-C. Which is a pill containing methylene blue that I can take up to four times a day for bladder pain. However, my doctor advised me not to take it too often. If I can stand to go without it, I should, he said. Because apparently it has long-term side-effects on the heart.. So I'm scared to take it at all now.
135691 tn?1271097123 I wonder whether your cancer continues to have the same histology that it did 4 years ago. Do you have a pathology report from your most recent surgery? Have you had estrogen and progesterone receptors checked on your tumor? As for therapy, etoposide and caelyx are both excellent drugs. However, if you have a slow growing , grade one tumor, these tumors are less responsive to chemo. I have taken care of many wonderful women with advanced ovarian cancer who have a low grade histology.
179856 tn?1333547362 com/MeetingCoverage/DDW/14532 CHICAGO, June 3 -- A single course of interferon-based therapy, with or without ribavirin, produces long-term improvements in liver histology in patients with hepatitis C (HCV) who completely clear the virus, researchers found Patients who had a sustained virologic response had significant reductions in inflammation and fibrosis of the liver five or six years after receiving treatment, Mitchell Shiffman, M.D.
Avatar f tn I have just had a tubular adenoma polyp removed 6 mm x 6 mm from my proximal transverse colon Histology came back low dysplaysia and was told to get checked in two years , but this polyp was not found 14 months ago and I am worried in case I get another before the two year review , Do you think I should have a yearly review as I suffer from anxiety and this is worrying me , Doctor is not concerned.
Avatar m tn Would this require a biopsy to get the histology? In other words, if I had a spot on my arm that was PIH, would it be possible to determine if it was caused by a burn, infection, chemicals, trauma, etc. by taking a biopsy? Thanks!
Avatar f tn I’m 34 and had my right oophorectomy 2 months ago and the histology revealed that it was well differentiated papillary serous cystadenocarcinoma ( FIGO stage 1A ) on my ovarian cyst.. The CA 125 was 46.4. I got a second opinion to have another histology revealed and the second report of diagnosis for right ovarian cyst ( received two (H&E) stained slides review from the lab) :- serous papillary cystadenoma of borderline malignancy.
475300 tn?1312423126 Boy; I can’t imagine milk thistle affecting histology enough to make a significant difference in the results; if it were me, I wouldn’t worry about it. Others might feel differently; hopefully they will chime in and you can develop a consensus in here.
Avatar m tn the word used is regression and not reversal for now because fibrosis is totally reversible but histology like nodules is reversible in very long time like 10years or more and registered cases of nodules regression and normal histology are too little for now on hbv. histology and nodules, if not too advanced, have no effect on liver function.
Avatar m tn Today we have numerous studies which demonstrate clearly that fibrosis and cirrhosis can regress - that liver histology can improve. The evidence of improved histology is associated with eradication of the Hepatitis C Virus - sustained viral response. From: Clinical Care Options See: http://tinyurl.
Avatar n tn The next thing to do is to look for the organ from where that squamous cell carcinoma might have originated. Primary liver cancers usually present with a histology of adenocarcinoma (not squamous cell carcinoma), so your mom's liver mass must have come from somewhere else. The most likely candidates would be the lungs, the head and neck area, and the uterine cervix. It's important to first determine the organ of origin so that treatment will be more focused.
