These images relate to a 13-year-old boy who sustained a traumatic perilymph fistula (tPLF) resulting from a skateboarding accident.
In daily practice, chemical substances called “direct oral anticoagulants” or DOACs are more convenient to administer when set beside vitamin K antagonists (VKA) due to improved pharmacologic properties, fewer drug interactions and rapid onset of action. The objective of this review was to assess whether DOACs are the alternative for VKA in subjects with mild-to-moderate chronic kidney d…
Statin therapy has been shown to reduce major vascular events and vascular mortality in a wide range ofrnindividuals, but there is uncertainty about its efficacy and safety among older people. We undertook a meta-analysisrnof data from all large statin trials to compare the effects of statin therapy at different ages.
Primary percutaneous coronary intervention is the gold-standard treatment for acute coronary artery occlusion. This is primarily diagnosed by ST segment elevation on an ECG accompanying ischaemic-sounding chest pain.
In this review we discuss the evolving literature of anticoagulation in the context of the nephrology patient. Whereas CKDrnpatients with atrial fibrillation, should be anticoagulated, the benefit of anticoagulation for those on dialysis remains controversialrndue to an increased risk of bleeding. The availability of direct oral anticoagulants offers new options for thosernwith CKD. Until studi…

STRONG EVIDENCE HAS been provided to indicate that chloramphenicol-(CAP) induced reversible bone marrow suppression results from inhibition of mitochondrial protein synthesis and consequent mitochondrial injury. ı Suppression of ferrochelatase activity, a mitochondrial-membraneassociated enzyme, with a block in the last step of heme synthesis has been suggested as a basis for the apparent vuln…
Thiamphenicol is a semisynthetic structural analogue of chloramphenicol (CAP)(Sutter and Finegold, 1976). Chemically, it is D-d-threo-2-dichloro acetamido-l-(4-methylsulfonyl)-phenyl-l, 3-propanediol and has been derived by replacing the p-nitrophenol group of chloramphenicol by methylsulfonyl moietv
