Avatar m tn The cumulative HCV RNA negativity rate was also significantly higher in the group receiving ezetimibe (p=0.0035). However, a tendency of higher EVR rate was observed with the group receiving ezetimibe than with the group not receiving ezetimibe regardless of the presence or absence of hepatic steatosis in pretreatment liver biopsy. The results suggest the possibility that the concomitant administration of ezetimibe might be useful for improving the results of PEG-IFN/RBV treatment in CHC.
Avatar m tn no normalization of ast/alt doesn t happen if there is some immune response 2 no it is not ezetimibe it is the statins added to ezetimibe and in both cases the increase of alt is similar to placebo and due to the dicrease of cholesterol, there are many posts about statins and alt increase.alt normalize continuing statins and does not reflect liver damage 3 that combo is only for those needing to lower cholesterol.
Avatar m tn also statins like simvastatin were reported to boost response a little but better not mix 2 statins, in a report researchers of ezetimibe effect on hbv and hcv suggested the use of ezetimibe with interferon but without simvastin ezetimibe dose is 10-20mg daily but human trials with dose 50mg daily for a limited time did not find any sides or toxicity
Avatar m tn While current drugs are highly toxic and often cannot be tolerated by transplant patients taking immunosuppressant drugs, ezetimibe is quite safe and has been used long-term without harm by people to control their cholesterol, Uprichard said. Because it prevents entry of the virus into cells, ezetimibe may help protect the new liver from infection. http://www.hivandhepatitis.
Avatar m tn The article describes the slower capacity of immune cells to proliferate in the presence of ezetimibe or atorvastatin. The differences were however not very impressive, around 10 to 15% in cell counts after culture in the presence of these cholesterol blocking drugs. It might not be a big surprise, since the de novo formation of cells requires of course cholesterol, as such a slowing down of cell proliferation is not unexpected.
Avatar n tn under 170, no signifigant girth. No family history of diabetes, significant history of heart disease. Cholesterol levels were well maintained until June 2008, no indication of blood sugar elevation either, until now. BP is good, slightly higher in last year but was well below norms until now.
Avatar m tn I run about 9miles a week, work out 3-4X at the gym each week, and drink a glass of red wine every night. I eat nuts every day, take Omega3, and rarely eat red meat - subscribing to a low cholesterol diet. Weight is 185 at 6'3", age 50. LDL is always pretty low - most recently 66.
Avatar f tn Like Dr. Pernoud stated there is no relationship between altitude and rds or glaucoma. However, if you've had a pneumatic retinopexy recently w/ SF6 or C3F8 you are not able to go to high altitudes or travel via plane as this will cause an increase in IOP.
Avatar m tn Also its possible for a topical fungal infection caused by a change in the skins pH but in the world of oral sex, none of these happen often compared to the number of oral sex that takes place in the course of a day in the world.

It cannot transmit through any other body part(in sexual routine) including mouth. As I have read that even oral sex don't possess risk.
Avatar m tn Our data highlight the potential of direct innate immunity activation in hepatocytes in the control of HBV replication, and support the recent interest in the development of PRR-based antiviral strategies against HBV. In addition, our data suggest that elucidation of the mode of antiviral action of imiquimod may lead to the identification of a novel target for the treatment of CHB. Disclosure of Interest: J.

Avatar m tn Unlike statins, ezetimibe acts through inhibition of enterohepatic recirculation of lipids. We report the effectiveness and safety of ezetimibe among liver transplant recipients because this has been evaluated previously only in kidney and heart transplant patients. A consecutive cohort of 25 liver graft recipients with serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels > 100 mg/dL (2.
Avatar m tn I have never heard of MOM being used in this way, nor that it has any anti-infective action. And certainly I have never heard of herpes or any other STD being transmitted by contaminated MOM. I see no reason for any concern about it.
529224 tn?1400648219 Statins reduced the cholesterol significantly and with the added medication of Ezetimibe, which slows fat absorption through the gut wall, my cholesterol is way below average now. I've been on these medications since the start of 2007 with no side effects which blood tests have continually confirmed. Familial hypercholesterolemia affects 1 in 500 people in many countries, so it isn't that uncommon.

Avatar m tn Yes he's sure. Oral sex of any type is not a risk of contracting HIV.
Avatar m tn t had any symptoms as of yet. I only had a bit of a scratch in my throat on the 24th and the 25th day after the encounter, but that could have been due to too much cold pop and ice cream. Please give me your opinion as to how risky this encounter was. Should I be worried? He kept on telling me he was 'clean' and didn't have any diseases. Thank you immensely much for your help! Any insight your might have would be invaluable!
474119 tn?1273841478 After every flight, Qantas Airlines pilots fill out a form called a gripe sheet, which conveys to the mechanics problems encountered with the aircraft during the flight that need repair or correction. The mechanics read and correct the problem, and then respond in writing on the lower half of the form what remedial action was taken, and the pilot reviews the gripe sheets before the next flight. Never let it be said that ground crews and engineers lack a sense of humor.
Avatar m tn Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Chronic Hep B, I'm on Baraclude now, and have been on Crestor (Rosuvastatin ) for the last 10 years. If it's better for me to change to Simvastatin (Zocor, Vytorin), I'm all for it, but want to know if there's evidence out there. I've only found mention of one study that wrapped last year, but no results from it. Any info will be appreciated.
