Avatar m tn Yeah i remember that case... it was awlful. My heart really went out to those guys... turned out the drug should of been administered over the course of hours instead of mins... major balls up. Something i would never try either.
Avatar n tn There are genetic tests for Marfan's that you could have if the clinical suspicion is high. I don't know of an association of Marfans with hypothyroidism. Beta blockers may retard the progression of aortic root dilatation as well as good blood pressure control. Control of the sleep apnea tends to lead to better blood pressure control so this is important.
Avatar m tn how does one get involved in hepC clinical studies i have not insurance and cannot yet get disability/medicaid....interested in sofosbuvir/daclatasvir with or without ribavirin.
980510 tn?1282010946 The research studies listed below are currently open to adults and children. Minors must have approval from a parent. This study needs families with three or more members diagnosed with Arnold-Chiari malformation (Type 1). Please see the links for the procedures and eligibility criteria for specific studies. There is no cost for participation or for any tests associated with the research. Studies Actively Recruiting Patients: No studies available for this disease.
Avatar m tn IS THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS TAKING COMBINATION OF TELMISARTAN &AMLODIPINE FOR LONG TIME
1722607 tn?1335747858 I have been given 5 studies to choose from. They are all different and Im feeling a little overwhelmed. How should I choose? What questions should I ask?
Avatar m tn I am 33 year male having hypertension from 3 years taking telmisartan 40 mg from last two years.Now my bp is under control comes under 130/85. I had urine albumin excretion test three times result shows between 100 to 75 mg/dl albumin excretion ( 24 hour urine albumin test on submission of around 1.5 liter urine).The normal values shows in lab report is up to excretion of 150 mg/dl/ .My serum creatinine level comes between 0.8 to 1.0 and urea under 20.
Avatar n tn Your creatinine is still high because you likely have chronic kidney disease from the hypertension. The Telmisartan-HCTZ that was given will not make your creatinine low, it is to treat your hypertension and prevent further damage to your kidneys. It is also possible you have some protein in your urine which the Telmisartan helps to reduce. Also, Telmisartan can cause a slight increase in your creatinine but it is usually not a very significant increase.
Avatar m tn Of these, 487 were clinical trials (356 RCT and 131 non-RCT), 80 were pre-clinical experimental studies, and 76 were summaries of non-randomized clinical experience. Out of these studies, the researchers identified 53 RCTs that reported random allocation of patients with chronic hepatitis B to treatment with TCM formulations; these trials met the inclusion criteria and were used in the meta-analysis.
Avatar f tn This is now the third RNAi candidate in development with ARC-520 by Arrowhead Research, the most advanced, blazing the trail with a 3-year first-mover advantage (clinical studies commenced in the first half of 2013) over ALN-HBV. Tekmira’s candidate (TKM-HBV) is the third one in the mix having initiated a phase I study in January of this year. The main differentiating feature of Alnylam’s candidate is that it involves a single RNAi trigger and can be administered subcutaneously.
Avatar m tn p in my 19 14mnths bck at that time my b.p was 230/124 its over 200 fo 3 days then i started using telmisartan 40mg nd meoprolol 25mg bt my bp ranged 150-160/104-115 fo 8 mnths in btwen i was evaluated for 2ndry causes of hyp no resns wer found doc said its essenstial hyp then doc incresd telmisartan to 80 mg my systolic came to 140 mm/hg bt diastolic still ranging 100-110 why is it so high nd how to regulate it ?
Avatar f tn Does anyone have any information on current or recent studies on this disease? I was recently diagnosed and would welcome any information. My T3 and T4 are normal but microsomal antibodies are 192(high). Thinning hair and weight gain are my concerns.
Avatar f tn Yes, we have had members that have been part of clinical studies....they have not come back to tell us how things went.....I am sure if you use the "search this community" feature you can locate the older threads on this topic. I also am very happy to hear that your family will be doing this, as it will help to get to the how we all tend to get it and hopefully help figure out a way to avoid it.... @ Lynnrae64 I never heard of the low magnesium issue and Chiari.....

Avatar n tn These drugs, already on the market for treating hypertension, have been shown to stabilize and in many cases (like mine) reduce aortic root diameters, depending on the dosage you take. The studies generally indicate that the higher the dosage (at least maximum FDA-approved dosage or higher), the better the results. Sufficient dosage is key; if you don't take enough of the drug, you will get no results.
Avatar f tn I do not know this for a fact, but I know that the clinical trials Dr. Dietz is conducting with losartan take patients with Marfan Syndrome who are far younger than your son. So, I'd imagine it would be OK for your son to use. This drug - and other ARBs - have shown great success in halting and reversing aortic root enlargement WHEN and ONLY WHEN TAKEN IN SUFFICIENT DOSAGES.
Avatar m tn My BP stays around 170/100. Highest was recorded 176/110. I have been on Telmisartan 40mg for few weeks but it killed my sex drive entirely. I stopped taking it & gradually recovered from low libido. Also i've noticed a general decline in libido & an onset of ED after i crossed age 40. Now my libido is not that strong as it used to be 4 years back even without medicine.
422172 tn?1215990852 I am in the Tovaxin Clinical Trial. You can get information about what clinical trials are currently recruiting at clinicaltrials.gov you can do a search for disease specific related trials. And to you answer SL's question, my neuro recommened that I look for a trial. And when trials were brought to her attention, she would give me information on them.
Avatar m tn This is not pie-in-the-sky stuff. Clinical trials are underway, many studies have been done in the past year or two on the topic, and knowledgeable cardiologists around the world have begun this treatment for their aortic patients with great success.
Avatar n tn This was not satisfactory to me, especially after the hell I went through for those 48 weeks. So, I began researching the net for trial studies. And, surprisingly enough, one was discovered. At this point, my count was 2.9mil. I entered a 2 month study which required my attendance each and every week. I lived 275 miles from the institute but was firm on my commitment to beat this monster inside me. The first four weeks I had to daily inject an unknown solution into me.
Avatar m tn Also, she is patient of high blood pressure. She is on bloog sugar medications like Metformin, Glimipride and Telmisartan, Amlodipine tablets for high bp Daily. Now, she has many complications of Diabetes including Diabetes Neuropathy, eyes issues like cataracts, osteoarthritis etc. she also has complications in her back/spine. Now, her doctor has not recommend any special multivitamin apart from diabetic die,t.
Avatar n tn They routinely prescribe beta blockers for patients with aortic root dilatation, even though the most recent studies have shown that they DO NOT HELP YOU. Beta blockers are prescribed because they make sense on paper, but in practice, they are absolutely useless. These doctors are also grossly behind the times. I don't know whether they are ignorant of the latest, big-news breakthroughs or just unwilling to try them.
336017 tn?1263579257 the best ARB to take is probably telmisartan because of its high tissue penetration. The best ACE inhibitor to take is perindopril. Some other ARBs and ACE inhibitors may work less effectively or not at all (some ARBs I know to be good - besides telmisartan - are valsartan, irbesartan, candesartan. Most of them are good EXCEPT for losartan, which is a surmountable antagonist and, theoretically, would lose its effect over time). Next fact: you need to take a high dose.
Avatar m tn Regardless here are facts, from a scientific point of view electromagnetism or whatever you’re talking about is simply impossible. The clinical studies also infer that it’s only a gas. I’m not sure if you understand anything about mass spectroscopy but it’s a process where compounds are ionized before separated. It’s the use of their small electrical charges to determine their masses.
