In patients requiring combination antihypertensive treatment, the regimen of perindopril alone or its FDC with Indapamide or amlodipine reduces blood pressure effectively, resulting in high rates of blood pressure control over the short term, with a low frequency of side effects including cough and pedal edema.
A 52-year-old man presented to the outpatient department with breathlessness and generalised weakness since 2 months. He was found to have anaemia and thrombocytopenia. A complete haematological workup failed to point towards a definite aetiology. Bone marrow biopsy revealed fibrosis with predominantly collagen fibres. An elevated prostate-specific antigen level and CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis suggested prostate carcinoma, which prompted a transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy, revealing a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the prostate.
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.
