Association of ABCB1, 5-HT3B receptor and CYP2D6 genetic polymorphisms with ondansetron and metoclopramide antiemetic response in Indonesian cancer patients treated with highly emetogenic chemotherapy.
The homozygous ABCB1 diplotype (GG-CC) conferred an odds ratio of 0.12 (95% confidence interval, 0.01-0.98) with regard to the use of ondansetron for postoperative nausea or vomiting.
We suggest that in MCADD (1) a newborn screening C8 level of 6micromol/L or greater represents particular risk of sudden death; (2) that MCAD genotypes other than homozygosity for the c.985A>G mutation are also associated with sudden death; (3) that vomiting is a frequent symptom preceding sudden death; and (4) social support and medical follow-up of these families are crucial in reducing the occurrence of sudden death.
Amniotic fluid contained excess total protein (4 MoM), abnormally high AFP (20.4 MoM) related to skin lesions and abnormally elevated digestive enzyme suggestive of fetal vomiting of bile.
In addition to its function as vomiting center, several others are part of the circumventricular organs for vasomotor/angiotensin II regulation, role in neuromyelitis optica related to aquaporin-4, and somatic growth and appetite regulation.Functions are immature at birth.
Predictive factors for toxicities were as follows: higher risk stratification and higher values of albumin (ALB) for leucopenia, higher values of white blood cell count (WBC) for anemia, higher values of ALB and creatinine (Cr) for neutropenia, higher risk stratification and higher 44-h MTX concentration for febrile neutropenia, higher values of alanine transferase (ALT) for elevated ALT, higher values of ALT for elevated aspartate transferase (AST), and higher values of total bilirubin (TBil) for vomiting.
