Abstract BACKGROUND: Optimal management of bilateral vertebral artery dissecting aneurysms (bi-VDAs) causing subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the treatment methods and outcomes of bi-VDA causing SAH. METHODS: Seven patients were treated endovascularly for bi-VDA causing SAH. Treatment methods and outcomes were evaluated retrospectively. RESULTS: Two patients were treated with 2 overlapping stents for both ruptured and unruptured VDAs, 2 with 2 overlapping stents and coiling for ruptured VDA and with conservative treatment for unruptured VDA, 1 with inter

Vitamin A is an important regulator of immune protection, but it is often overlooked in studies of infectious disease. Vitamin A binds an array of nuclear receptors (e.g., retinoic acid receptor, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor, retinoid X receptor) and influences the barrier and immune cells responsible for pathogen control. Children and adults in developed and developing countries are often vitamin A-deficient or insufficient, characteristics associated with poor health outcomes.

The treatment was repeated as long as the patient could tolerate or until disease progressed. The chemotherapy was given to 36 chemo-naïve patients as primary therapy and to 6 patients exposed to VAD (vincristine, doxorubicin, dexamethasone) as salvage therapy. Pallia

Abstract Introduction: ASCT is recommended for young patients (pts) with newly diagnosed MM. The achievement of Complete Response (CR) or at least Very Good Partial Response (VGPR) is the main prognostic factor for survival after ASCT. However, only 40–50% of patients achieve CR and VGPR with current HDM regimen. BOR has demonstrated significant activity in relapsed/refractory pts, a synergistic effect with Melphalan (MEL) and a lack of prolonged hematological toxicity. The combination of BOR and HDM is therefore a logical approach to attempt to improve CR+VGPR rates after ASCT. Methods: In Ju
