There are significant correlations between FIS score and MRCD score and FEV(1)% predicted in bronchiectasis. Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection appears to be associated with poorer lung function, and higher MRCD scores, yet there is no significant association between P. aeruginosa status and fatigue.
The effect of low-dose trimipramine (25 to 75 mg/day) on joint pain and tenderness in 36 patients with rheumatoid arthritis was studied in a randomized double-blind trial carried out over a period of 12 weeks. The patients were pre-selected to include only patients who were depressed on a 'self-rating depression scale' but had no evidence of fibrositic 'trigger-points'. The results showed that joint pain and tenderness were significantly reduced with trimipramine, but depression scores remained unchanged.
A double-blind cross-over trial of DDAVP was carried out in 22 patients aged between 9 and 16 years. The patients had previously failed to respond to other treatments for enuresis. While DDAVP resulted in fewer wet nights during the 14-day period of active treatment, the results did not achieve statistical significance. This is in contrast to previous reports. The dose in this study was 20 micrograms intranasally. Further studies may be valuable, possibly relating dosage to body weight.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
