Download or read book Prostacyclin and Its Stable Analogue Iloprost written by Ryszard Gryglewski and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten years after the discovery of prostacyclin, our knowledge of its biochemical mode of action, pharmacological properties, pathophysiological significance and therapeutic applications is ever expanding. Prostacyclin is both complex and unique as demonstrated by its unusual feature of being chemically and meta bolically unstable when compared to other prostanoids and known amine or peptide mediators. Although physiologically essential, the chemical instability of prostacyclin poses a serious drawback in laboratory and clinical studies. It is one of the genuine objectives of pharmaceutical research to supply synthetic compounds which overcome the inherent drawbacks - considering investigational and therapeutic use - of endogenous compounds. Whereas metabolic instability in certain cases could be of advantage, chemical instability definitely is not. With Iloprost, a molecule has been designed which - according to all data so far available - pertains high receptor affinity, metabolic instability (clinically this equates with a fine control of Iloprost's effects) while chemical stability has been achieved. By virtue of these characteristics Iloprost can be considered as one step towards specific interaction within the arachidonic acid cascade, namely the prostacyclin receptor. The aim of the symposium was to provide a critical experimental appraisal concerning the biochemical mode of action and pharmacological properties of prostacyclin and Iloprost.

Book excerpt: Along with the clinical use of Iloprost (a stable analogue of the naturally occuring prostacyclin) in the treatment of peripheral arterial disease, there are yet other promising treatment applications for this medication. The first of its kind, this book provides an extensive overview of the up-to-date experiences with Iloprost in patients suffering from various diseases. The spectrum encompasses inhaled or intravenous administration for the treatment of patients with pulmonary hypertension, peri- and post-operative use in liver transplants, pulmonary thromboendarterectomy as well as in the correction of congenital heart defects. Additionally, Iloprost has been used not only within the framework of treatment for patients suffering from sepsis but also during cardiopulmonary reanimation. The theoretical basics necessary for a clear understanding are uniformly incorporated and the clinical experiences of individual usage are demonstrated by designated specialists. A number of annotated illustrations and graphics accompany the presented data. This book is directed at intensive care specialists, physicians specialising in cardiology, respiratory medicine, rheumatology, angiography as well as cardiac and vascular surgical colleagues.

Download or read book Clinical Trials in Rheumatology written by Ruediger Mueller and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 765 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A huge number of therapeutic studies has been published in rheumatology and clinical immunology. This number grows substantially by the year. As such, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep track of this multitude of studies and the ensuing therapeutic trends. Further to this, a particular study can be referred to in a variety of ways, either as a shortened version of the title or an acronym, adding to the confusion. The book Clinical Trials in Rheumatology provides a summary of the important studies in the field for easy reference. Every study is shown with name, acronym (if in existence), authors, complete citation, study design, results, and summary. An acronym finder is supplied at the beginning of the book. This book is a valuable reference tool for rheumatologists and other clinical specialties, as well as for research scientists interested in immunomodulatory and selected other drug therapies in rheumatologic diseases.

Download or read book Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension written by Jochen Antel and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pulmonary hypertension is a fatal lung and heart disease. It is characterized by shortness of breath, fatigue and fainting. It is exacerbated by an increase of the pressure in the lung vasculature through exercise, leading to progressive worsening of hemodynamics, right ventricular hypertrophy, right heart insufficiency and finally right heart failure. This book focuses on pulmonary arterial hypertension, a rare and progressive subgroup of pulmonary hypertension, which is today incurable and terminally faal. Classification of pulmonary arterial hypertension, its pathology, and strategies for future therapy will be of interest both to those suffering from the disease and those who take care of patients. This volume will also engage physicians and other scientists contributing to an understanding of the pathophysiology of pulmonary arterial hypertension and attempting to extend life of humans with pulmonary arterial hypertension by developing causal and curative therapies.
