Effect of anti-IFN{beta} antibodies on MRI lesions of MS patients in the BECOME study.

Nov 2009 BACKGROUND: Interferon beta (IFNbeta) administered subcutaneously is immunogenic in some patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and leads to the development of neutralizing antibodies (NAbs). Considerable evidence has accumulated that NAbs diminish ... Read more...

Subarachnoid hemorrhage and the distribution of drugs delivered into the cerebrospinal fluid. Laboratory investigation.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECT: Investigators in experimental and clinical studies have used the intrathecal route to deliver drugs to prevent or treat vasospasm. However, a clot near an artery or arteries after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) may hamper distribution and ... Read more...

Decrease in tumor cell oxygen consumption after treatment with vandetanib (ZACTIMA; ZD6474) and its effect on response to radiotherapy.

30 Oct 2009 We investigated the early effects of vandetanib (ZACTIMA; ZD6474), an inhibitor of VEGFR-dependent angiogenesis, on tumor oxygenation and on the possible consequences of combining vandetanib with radiotherapy. Tumor oxygenation, perfusion, cellular ... Read more...
