Abstract:
An unusual combination of median nerve’s variations has been encountered in a male cadaver during routine educational dissection. In particular, the median nerve was formed by five roots; three roots originated from the lateral cord of the brachial plexus joined individually the median nerve’s medial root. The latter (fourth) root was united with the lateral (fifth) root of the median nerve forming the median nerve distally in the upper arm and not the axilla as usually. In addition, the median nerve was situated medial to the brachial artery. We review comprehensively the relevant variants, t

Abstract:
In the prophylaxis of migraine β-blockers are commonly used. In the therapy of tension headache (TH) the use of tricyclic antidepressives is widespread. Therefore, from a rational point of view, one should combine an antidepressive and a β-blocker in the treatment of combination headache (CH), in which patients have both migraine and TH. In an open uncontrolled study, 61 patients with CH received a combination of an antidepressive (amitriptyline or amitriptyline- N-oxide and a β-blocker (propranolol or metoprolol) for at least 3 months.

31 Background: AGS-003 is an immunotherapy consisting of autologous dendritic cells electroporated with amplified total tumor RNA plus synthetic CD40L RNA and is currently being tested in combination with standard of care to extend survival of newly diagnosed metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients in the Phase 3 ADAPT clinical trial. We set out to establish a model system based on the Renca mouse model to more thoroughly study the AGS-003 mechanism of action and identify optimal combination therapies, including with a PD1 checkpoint inhibitor (aPD1 CPI).

For them, no standard of care exists, and concern over serious side effects of androgen deprivation (ADT) makes delaying ADT common. We tested Prostate Health Cocktail (PHC), which contains vitamins D & E, saw palmetto, lycopene, green tea and soy extracts, in this population, to see whether it could induce PSA declines.

Abstract Abstract 3724 Background Toll-like receptors (TLR) are ideal targets for combination therapy of hematological malignancies as they modulate immune responses and can influence the tumor microenvironment through cytokine and chemokine induction. TLR-targeted agents have potential to treat hematological tumors by regulating the innate and acquired immune responses to cancer cells. We have previously shown that IMO-4200, a TLR7 and TLR8 dual agonist enhanced the antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity (ADCC) of rituximab on Raji and Granta human lymphoma cell lines in vitro.
