Journal ArticleDOI
Iron chelation monotherapy in transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia major patients: a comparative study of deferasirox and deferoxamine.
TL;DR: With appropriate dosing and compliance with drugs, both DFX and DFO are generally well tolerated, safe, and effective in reducing serum ferritin levels in iron-overloaded, regularly-transfused thalassemia major patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It was found that prior pain exposure and the number of procedures predict dampened behavioral and exaggerated physiologic subsequent pain responses in the premature infants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immunosuppressive therapy in children with steroid-resistant, frequently-relapsing, and steroid-dependent idiopathic nephrotic syndrome: a single center experience.
TL;DR: The high potency of cyclosporine with steroids recommends its use in patients with idiopathic SRNS with a normal glomerular filtration rate, and its efficacy is augmented when combined with mycophenolate mofetil.
