Successful treatment of neurocysticercosis with albendazole desensitization

Neurocysticercosis is a growing public health problem in the United States. Albendazole is a mainstay of medical therapy for neurocysticercosis, and here we present a case of hypersensitivity to albendazole leading to life-threatening disease progression.

CD28 confers CD4+ T cells with resistance to cyclosporin A and tacrolimus but to different degrees

Cyclosporin A (CSA) and tacrolimus (TAC) suppress T-cell activation and subsequent proliferation by inhibiting calcineurin. Though they have the same target, CSA and TAC have quite different molecular structures, indicating quantitative and/or qualitative differences in their effects.

A unique profile of serum cytokines in type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis and chronic rhinosinusitis

Type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a pancreatic manifestation of IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD). Although AIP and IgG4-RD are characterized by multiple organ involvement including salivary glands, lung, and kidney, co-occurrence of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and AIP/IgG4-RD has been poorly defined.

Efficacy of drug therapies in antihistamine refractory chronic spontaneous urticaria: Real life data

Omalizumab is a safe and effective treatment for antihistamine-refractory chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) but is insufficient in one-third of patients. For serious cases in which omalizumab is ineffective, cyclosporine or methotrexate may be preferred. Most drug trials in CSU have focused on omalizumab or cyclosporine monotherapy.

Effect of fexofenadine/pseudoephedrine combination tablet on nasal obstruction in patients with allergic rhinitis using rhinomanometry: A randomized controlled trial

A fexofenadine/pseudoephedrine combination tablet (F/P) is an optimal product for nasal obstruction. It contains fexofenadine hydrochloride, a histamine H1-receptor antagonist for sneezing and rhinorrhea and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride, an α-adrenergic agonist. The effect of an antihistamine-decongestant on nasal obstruction has been demonstrated in previous studies, but onset of action and efficacy data on nasal obstruction are limited.
