[PAIN RELIEF IN THE CLINICAL PRACTICE - THE USE OF MAJOR ANALGETICS]

HORVÁTH J. Attila

[The use of opioids to relieve strong, unbearable pain is a method that has been known for thousands of years and is still effective today. In contrast to the earlier view, opioids today are not only given to cancer patients. The application area of morphine derivatives is generally the relief of exceptionally strong pain regardless of the diagnosis, but opiates are undoubtedly most commonly used to treat cancer-related or strong acute pain. Strong pain reducers are used much more in developed... tovább »

[INFLAMMATION AND ATHEROSCLEROSIS]

JAKAB Lajos

[The role of vascular wall inflammation in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis is becoming increasingly clear. However, the causal relationship between the inflammation and the course of atherosclerosis, which begins in childhood and continues for life, is debated in the literature. The interpretation of the basic pathophysiologial essence of inflammation is also controversial. This paper summarizes the basics and various features of inflammation, the body's defensive and aversive reaction. The... tovább »

[HAEMOGLOBIN CYCLICITY IN RENAL ANAEMIA]

REUSZ György, SZABÓ J. Attila

[Erythropoiesis stimulating agents are glycoproteins in which the oligosaccharide chains that terminate in sialic acid bind to the peptide with glycosidic bond. The lower the sialic acid content of the erythropoietin, the higher its receptor affinity, while its half-life in the circulation decreases. The biological effect depends on the balance of these factors. In the third-generation erythropoiesis stimulating molecule CERA (continuous erythropoietin receptor activator) a large polyethylene... tovább »

[OUR EXPERIENCE WITH COMBINED ANTIVIRAL TREATMENT IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC HEPATITIS C WITH PERSISTENTLY NORMAL ALANINE AMINOTRANSFERASE LEVELS]

HORVÁTH Gábor, TOLVAJ Gyula, HALÁSZ Tünde, STOTZ Gyula

[INTRODUCTION - Persistently normal alanine aminotransferase levels, which occur in a fraction of patients chronically infected with hepatitis C virus, do not rule out the presence of chronic hepatitis C, even of that with advanced inflammation and fibrosis. Here we report our results of the treatment of these patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS - Patients with histologically confirmed chronic hepatitis C received combined antiviral treatment with pegylated interferon (alfa-2a 1×180 μg/week or... tovább »

[HUMAN LEUKOCYTE INTERFERON IN THE TREATMENT OF CHRONIC HEPATITIS C]

TELEGDY László, HORVÁTH Gábor, TOLVAJ Gyula, MAKARA Mihály, MONTSKÓ Valéria, OZSVÁR Zsófia, NEMES Zsuzsanna, PÉTERFY Zoltán, SZENTGYÖRGYI László

[INTRODUCTION - Approximatively 50% of the patients with chronic hepatitis C do not respond properly to pegylated interferon-alpha+ribavirin treatment and according to the therapeutic guidelines their treatment must be interrupted. The authors examined whether their further medication with human leukocyte interferon is justified. PATIENTS AND METHODS - Thirty-eight patients with chronic hepatitis C were treated with human leukocyte interferon who had responded to pegylated... tovább »

[TREATMENT OF ANAEMIA IN A PATIENT WITH SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER]

TAMÁSI Lilla, WOLLÁK András

[INTRODUCTION - Anaemia is a common complication among patients with malignant tumours, and is due to the disease itself or to the oncologic treatment. Anaemia worsens the patient’s quality of life and hampers anti-cancer treatment in the appropriate intervals and doses. Erythropoiesis stimulating protein therapy in the anaemia of oncologic patients raises the haemoglobin level, reduces the need for red blood cell transfusion and improves quality of life. This drug has recently become... tovább »

[NEUROVASCULAR COMPRESSION IN THE MEDULLA OBLONGATA AS A CAUSE OF RESISTANT HYPERTENSION - THOUGHTS APROPOS OF A PATIENT]

KOVÁTS László, BRETUS Angelika, CSUTAK Kinga, NAGY Gyöngyi, GASZTONYI Beáta

[INTRODUCTION - The vasomotor centre, the central regulator of the cardiovascular system, is localised in the rostral ventrolateral medulla oblongata. Irritation of this area and/or of the ninth and tenth cranial nerves (that are involved both in the afferent and efferent pathways of the baroreceptor reflex) causes sympathetic hyperactivity, which in some cases leads to severe resistant hypertension. A common underlying cause of this is pulsatile neurovascular compression, a vascular... tovább »
