	s000403b - Hyperthyroidism - Iodide Therapy
		Serum T4: concentration decreased in the three treatment groups and the decrease was similar in the MMI and MMI + SSKI: groups but significantly lower than in the MMI + Na ipodate group.
		The serum T3 concentration decreased to the: normal range in all seven MMI + Na Ipodate treated patients by the fourth day of treatment and the per cent decrease in: serum T3 from pre-treatment values was significantly greater than in the MMI and MMI + SSKI treated patients.
		Serum: FT4 pattern during the study was not different between the two groups of subjects whereas serum FT3 concentrations: were significantly lower in patients treated with sodium ipodate.

	[No title]
		Serum therapy was largely abandoned in the 1940s because of the toxicity associated with the administration of heterologous sera and the introduction of effective antimicrobial chemotherapy.
		A delayed toxic reaction of serum therapy was “serum sickness,” a syndrome characterized by rash, proteinuria, and arthralgia; this occurred in 10% to 50% of patients who received heterologous serum and was probably caused by immune complexes.
		Serum therapy could fail because of inadequate dosage, delayed treatment, mislabeling of serum, and because the infection was mixed or complicated (i.e., empyema) (10).

	Serum Therapy (Vaccinations group)
		First we shall regard the basic ideas that lie behind the practice of serum therapy, as well as the possible infringement of physical and moral laws of nature; second, we shall look at the record of evidence that has been accumulating for many years.
		Serums are manufactured through inoculation of animals, usually horses, with germs of the disease.
		The first effects of serum therapy are in the majority of cases apparently beneficial, although many instances have been recorded where disastrous effects have followed immediately after inoculation.

	Arthritis Research & Therapy \| Abstract \| Serum cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) decreases in rheumatoid ...
		Changes in serum cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) were studied during a 6-month period from initiation of treatment of rheumatoid arthritis patients with either infliximab or etanercept, to elucidate whether the favourable results of tissue protection reported in clinical trials are corroborated by changing levels of circulating COMP.
		Serum COMP was measured by a sandwich immunoassay based on two monoclonal antibodies against human COMP in samples obtained at treatment initiation and at 3 and 6 months.
		A decrease in serum COMP was seen both in ACR20 responders (patients meeting the American College of Rheumatology criteria for 20% improvement) and in nonresponders.

	Virtual Hospital: P & T News
		While the monitoring of serum digoxin concentrations may be a valuable tool, inappropriate use of assay results remains an important concern.5 Inappropriate use may adversely affect patient care decisions and add cost to patient therapy.
		Unnecessary serum digoxin assays or inappropriate digoxin serumsampling techniques have been reported for 30 to 73% of serum digoxin assay requests.5,l2 Inappropriate timing and incomplete documentation can contribute to clinically inappropriate patient-care decisions.13 Typical problems in the digoxin serum sampling process are described in Table 4.
		An unexpectedly high or low serum digoxin assay result should be viewed with initial skepticism in a patient with adequate disease control and no signs or symptoms of digoxin toxicity.In patients with toxicity, the assay result, coupled with the expected half-life of the drug, can help to determine how long to withhold digoxin therapy.

	Intermittent Androgen Suppression (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-30)
		Patients who had a pretreatment serum PSA of greater than 20 ng/mL were started on their second cycle of therapy when the serum PSA increased to between 10 and 20 ng/mL (mean, 17 ng/mL).
		After initiation of a cycle of therapy, the serum PSA level may not fall into the normal range despite castration levels of serum testosterone or may increase after reaching a nadir, although serum testosterone is in the castration range.
		The failure of serum PSA to decrease to a stable or decreasing nadir level within the normal range during the induction period is usually a sign of early progression to androgen independence and is associated with a poor prognosis.

	High Prevalence of Elevated Lipids Observed in Children on HAART
		Serum triglyceride levels of 1.64 mmol/l (145 mg/dl) or greater were seen in 40% of PI-treated and 5% of PI-naive subjects.
		The PI therapy category remained significant with respect to serum total cholesterol (P = 0.005) and triglyceride levels (P = 0.003), and remained non-significant with respect to serum insulin (P = 0.45), HOMA-IR (P = 0.94) and the visceral to subcutaneous adipose tissue ratio (P = 0.18).
		In PI-treated children, the duration of PI therapy was not significantly associated with total, HDL or LDL-cholesterol, triglyceride levels, glucose, insulin, proinsulin, C-peptide, the insulin to glucose ratio, HOMA-IR, visceral, subcutaneous or total adipose tissue areas or the visceral to subcutaneous adipose tissue ratio.

		Serum aminotransferase levels were assessed monthly and HCV RNA was evaluated by RT-PCR (Amplicor, Roche) at end of therapy and the end of follow-up.
		Till now the combined therapy with interferon-alfa-2b (3 MU, three times a week) and ribavirin--(1000-1200 mg daily) for one year has been finished in 100 cases with chronic hepatitis C. The mean value of ALT activity decreased near to the normal level, in 58 patients it was in the normal range.
		Serum HCV RNA levels were monitored at baseline, week 4, week 8, and week 12 of therapy by a quantitative multicycle polymerase chain reaction assay.

	Bromide Therapy
		Therefore, serum bromide concentrations should generally be targeted to at least 1000 ug/mL for dogs on both bromide and phenobarbital.
		For dogs treated with bromide alone, serum bromide concentrations associated with seizure control spanned a wide range in our survey (830-3410 ug/mL), but tend to be higher than comparable bromide levels for dogs on combination therapy, with an average of 1900 ug/mL.
		Therefore, the established therapeutic range for serum phenobarbital concentrations should not be strictly applied to dogs that are also being treated with bromide, and "subtherapeutic" phenobarbital concentrations should not be used to justify increases in the dose of phenobarbital in these patients.

		We examined two groups of patients to determine whether there are serum protein profiles reflective of active disease and predictive of response to therapy.
		Finally, profiles from serum samples obtained at the time of active disease were compared between the two patient groups.
		Collectively, these data demonstrate the presence of serum proteomic profiles in SJIA that are reflective of active disease and suggest the feasibility of using the SELDI-TOF MS platform used as a tool for proteomic profiling and discovery of novel biomarkers in autoimmune diseases.

		Although the increases in serum Na+ associated with chronic CS therapy were not great, they may still be relevant in individuals with underlying hypertension or edematous states.
