    PF Night Splint Compared to plantar based splints, patients prefer dorsal models because they are less bulky, cooler, lower profile and easier to walk in at night. PF Night Splint includes all of these features and more. Neoprene calf and toe straps along with gel padding on the top of the foot help reduce pressure points and the plastic-free bottom offers safer nighttime ambulation. Even added more room in the forefoot to accommodate wider feet and new flexible shell allows easier nighttime ambulation without compromising the ability to hold the foot at 90° during rest. Finally, a plantar fasciitis splint patients will wear all night! Neoprene calf. Padded foam liner. Fits right or left. Not made with natural rubber latex. PF Night Splint (Derotation) Applications Prevention and correction of foot drop. Night splint for early healing. Ambulatory, can be used as a day splint.

      The authors are referencing the increase in the suggestions to use other testing techniques i.e. saliva.
  • Testosterone therapy can inhibit hepcidin transcription and is associated with increased iron incorporation into red blood cells and increased erythropoietin concentrations
  • Transdermal TRT has a more favorable adverse effect profile when compared to buccal testosterone formulations
  • ...13 more annotations...
  • Approximately 0.3% of testosterone is converted into estradiol by aromatase (CYP19A1)
  • the recommendation for injectable testosterone esters is to check the serum concentration midway between injections
  • it is recommended for serum testosterone to be evaluated 3 to 12 hours after application of the transdermal patch
  • testosterone concentrations should be checked 2–3 months after initiation of therapy and after adjusting the dose
  • a study from 1989 utilizing testosterone transdermally containing 5, 10, or 15 mg of testosterone showed that peak concentrations of testosterone were achieved 3 to 8 hours after scrotal application in hypogonadal men
  • It is used for many medications and has the advantage of high bioavailability, absence of hepatic first pass metabolism, increased therapeutic efficacy, and steadiness of plasma concentrations of the drug
  • evaluate serum testosterone at the end of the dosing interval for testosterone pellets
  • increased amount of fat leads to increased extragonadal aromatase activity, resulting in increased concentrations of estradiol. High circulating concentrations of estradiol down regulate the HPG axis and decrease the amount of circulating testosterone
  • Up to 80% of plasma estradiol originates from aromatization of testosterone and less than 20% of estradiol in the circulation is secreted by the testes
  • A PSA concentration, digital rectal examination, and hematocrit should be performed at baseline and at 3 months, 6 months, then yearly after TRT is initiated.
  • measure serum testosterone any time after the patient has been on treatment with gel for at least 1 week
  • If the hematocrit rises above 54%, treatment should be discontinued
  • elderly men having higher estradiol serum concentrations than postmenopausal women

  • Statin use is associated with an increased prevalence and extent of coronary plaques possessing calcium
  • As compared with individuals not taking statins, those taking statins possessed a significantly higher prevalence of obstructive CAD, as well as higher numbers of vessels with obstructive CAD
  • non-calcified plaques (NCP)
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • non-calcified (NCP), mixed (MP), or calcified (CP) plaque
  • statin use was each associated with a significantly higher prevalence of NCP, MP and CP
  • statin use was associated with increased presence of MP [odds ratio (OR) 1.46, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.27–1.68, p < 0.001] and CP (OR 1.54, 95% CI 1.36–1.74, p < 0.001], but not NCP
  • statin use was associated with increasing numbers of coronary segments possessing MP and CP but not associated with increasing numbers of coronary segments possessing NCP
  • North America, Europe and Asia
  • A total of 6673 individuals (2413 on statin therapy and 4260 not on statin therapy) comprised the study population
  • we identified a strong association of statin use to coronary artery plaque features
  • statin use was associated with a differentially increased prevalence and extent of MP and CP
  • one potential unifying hypothesis is that rather than regression of coronary plaque, statins may contribute to the conversion of coronary plaque constituents, perhaps by conversion of NCP to plaque possessing calcium
  • Coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA)
  • Statin use was associated with a higher frequency of severe coronary artery stenoses as well as numbers of coronary vessels with obstructive CAD
  •  
    Study finds statin therapy associated with increased coronary plaque with calcium.

  • bone marrow suppression
  • cardiomyopathy
  • irreversible retinal toxicity
  • hypoglycaemia
  • daily doses up to 400 mg of HCQ or 250 mg CQ for several years are considered to carry an acceptable risk for CQ-induced retinopathies, with the exception of individuals of short stature
  • chronic CQ or HCQ therapy be monitored through regular ophthalmic examinations (3–6 month intervals), full blood counts and blood glucose level checks
  • long-term HCQ exposure, skeletal muscle function and tendon reflexes should be monitored for weakness
  • both CQ and HCQ, specific caution is advised in patients suffering from impaired hepatic function (especially when associated with cirrhosis), porphyria, renal disease, epilepsy, psoriasis, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency and known hypersensitivity to 4-aminoquinoline compounds
  • CQ and HCQ can effectively increase the efficacy of various anti-cancer drugs
  • CQ can prevent the entrapment of protonated chemotherapeutic drugs by buffering the extracellular tumour environment and intracellular acidic spaces
  • This study recommends an adjuvant HCQ dose of 600 mg, twice daily.
  • HCQ addition was shown to produce metabolic stress in the tumours
  • HCQ (400 mg/day)
  • important effects of CQ and HCQ on the tumour microenvironment
  • The main and most studied anti-cancer effect of CQ and HCQ is the inhibition of autophagy
  • the expression levels of TLR9 are higher in hepatocellular carcinoma, oesophageal, lung, breast, gastric and prostate cancer cells as compared with adjacent noncancerous cells, and high expression is often linked with poor prognosis
  • TLR9-mediated activation of the NF-κB signalling pathway and the associated enhanced expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), MMP-7 and cyclo-oxygenase 2 mRNA
  • HCQ can activate caspase-3 and modulate the Bcl-2/Bax ratio inducing apoptosis in CLL, B-cell CLL and glioblastoma cells
  • In triple-negative breast cancer, CQ was shown to eliminate cancer stem cells through reduction of the expression of Janus-activated kinase 2 and DNA methyl transferase 1 [106] or through induction of mitochondrial dysfunction, subsequently causing oxidative DNA damage and impaired repair of double-stranded DNA breaks
  • CQ or HCQ would be considered for use in combination with immunomodulation anti-cancer therapies
  • Therapies used in combination with CQ or HCQ include chemotherapeutic drugs, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, various monoclonal antibodies, hormone therapies and radiotherapy
  • Most studies hypothesise that CQ and HCQ could increase the efficacy of other anti-cancer drugs by blocking pro-survival autophagy.
  • daily doses between 400 and 1200 mg for HCQ are safe and well tolerated, but two studies identified 600-mg HCQ daily as the MTD
  • HCQ is often administered twice daily to limit plasma fluctuations and toxicity
