Their role is two ways in the development of new drugs: (1) they may become the basis for the development of new medicine i.e. a natural blueprint for the development of new drugs, or (2) a phytomedicine to be used for the treatment of disease. Though there is availability of various orthodox drugs for the treatment of respiratory track diseases in Nigeria, there is increase in the search for herbal remedies. The seeds of Garcinia kola (GK) forms a major part of the herbal preparation used in traditional African medicine practice for the treatment of various respiratory tract diseases including asthma. Because of the importance of GK as a herb commonly used in herbal medicine for the treatment of asthma, it becomes necessary to find out the physiological mechanism(s) underlying its use. This paper reviews the function(s) of its phytochemical contents and how they are beneficial in the treatment of asthma. Our review showed that xanthone and flavonoid which are its major phytochemical contents inhibit calcium influx and histamine release stimulated by IgE dependent ligands respectively. In conclusion, Garcinia kola appears to be very promising in the treatment and management of asthma.","PeriodicalId":284620,"journal":{"name":"The Internet Journal of Pulmonary Medicine","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114733583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We conducted this study to evaluate the behavior of this disease in our unique patient population.Design: A retrospective clinical study.Patients and setting: We studied the records of all patients with coccidioidomycosis diagnosed at The University of Texas, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, a university tertiary hospital from January 1956 to December 1994.Results: We obtained 20 record numbers of patients with coccidioidomycosis. Fifteen patients (75%) were asymptomatic with an abnormal chest-X ray. Five patients (25%) had: chest pain (2), dyspnea (1), cough (1), and weight loss (1). Solitary pulmonary nodule was found is 55% of patients, followed by focal infiltrates (25%), multiple nodules (10%), and cavitary lesions (10%). The diagnostic procedures were Open lung biopsy (OPL), Fine needle aspiration (FNA), Bronchoscopy, and Serology. Higher sensitivities were associated with OPL and FNA. Sixteen patients underwent a thoracotomy as a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure. Three patients were medically treated with fluconazole, and one was lost to follow up. None of our patients were in the immunosupressed category.Conclusions: Coccidioidomycosis has a relatively infrequent occurrence in our patient population. Bronchoscopy and serology had low diagnostic yields. Transthoracic fine needle aspiration (FNA) needs to be considered, since coccidioidomycosis does respond to medical treatment, in order to avoid unnecessary ablative surgery. Abbreviations: FNA = Fine needle aspiration. OPL = Open lung biopsy.","PeriodicalId":284620,"journal":{"name":"The Internet Journal of Pulmonary Medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130336227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mezni","doi":"10.5580/25d5","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5580/25d5","url":null,"abstract":"Study objectives : the aim of this enquiry was to perform a retrospective review on patients treated for primary malignant mediastinal germ cell tumours (PMMGCT) between 1992-2008, to specify their clinical characteristics, their prognostic factors and to evaluate the current therapeutic strategies.Patients: we report a study about 8 patients with seminoma in 3 cases, yolk sac tumour (YST) in 2 cases, embryonal carcinoma (EC) in 1 case, choriocarcinoma in 1 case and teratocarcinoma in 1 case. Pathologic diagnoses were confirmed in all cases by surgical biopsy and a resection of the residual mass in 2 cases.Results: all the patients were male with a mean age of 32 years (range, 16 to 63 years). Only one patient was asymptomatic. The most frequent symptoms were cough (87.5%), chest pain (50%) and dyspnea (50%). The 8 tumours were located in the anterior mediastinum. One patient with EC didn’t received any treatment because of the rapid evolution of the disease. The 7 others received pre-operative chemotherapy and 3 patients received a second-line chemotherapy because of the persistence of viable tumours in one case (YST) and a resistance to the first chemotherapy in 2 cases (seminoma and teratocarcinoma). The overall 2-year survival of patients with seminoma was 100% towards 25% for those with nonseminomatous tumours. The patients with satge I disease survived for a mean period of 3 years.Conclusion: The PMMGCT cause generally a diagnostic challenge because of the difficulty of their resection and the little size of the biopsy specimen. Besides, the absence of a primary gonadal localization may be difficult to establish. These tumours have a worse prognosis than their gonadal counterparts. Prognostic factors are multiple and not accurate. The most relevant ones seem to be the histological type and the disease stage.","PeriodicalId":284620,"journal":{"name":"The Internet Journal of Pulmonary Medicine","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121099112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
