Objective: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the alfa-blocker doxazosin GITS in CRF patients.
Design And Methods: The study recruited 203 CRF patients (creatinine > 1,4 mg/dl for males, creatinine > 1,2 mg/dl for females, or creatinine clearance < 80 ml/min). All patients were receiving ACE inhibitores (63.
Objective: The objective was primary to evaluate the safe use of a new calcium channel blocker, lercanidipine, in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF). The secondary objective was to study the protective effect of calcium channel blocker on renal function in CRF patients previously treated with ACE inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers.
Design And Methods: The study recruited 203 CRF patients (creatinine >1.
Objective: To evaluate the safe use of a new calcium channel blocker, lercanidipine, in diabetic chronic renal failure (CRF) patients.
Design And Methods: The study recruited 42 diabetic CRF patients (creatinine > 1.4 mg/dl for males, creatinine > 1.
The acute renal failure is a grave pathology, of rapid establishment and relatively frequent in the hospital environment. We can describe three etiological groupS, which are responsible for it, amongst which are emphasized the pre-renal reasons. The obstructive pathology, of minor incidence, increases with the age.

Objective: To determine whether a relationship exists between amyloid deposition and total cholesterolemia (TC) in the human brain.
Introduction: In view of the discrepancy between the siting of electrodes and the effects on BAEP, we made a morphological study of 30 healthy volunteers, 15 men and 15 women.
Development: In each person we obtained the BAEP with the active electrode on the ear lobe ipsilateral to the stimulated ear and the reference ear successively at four different sites: vertex (Cz), high frontal (Fz), earlobe contralateral to the stimulated ear and the spinous process of the seventh cervical vertebra (CV7). The I, III and V waves were present in all cases and tests, followed in frequency by II, IV and VII.
Introduction: In view of the discrepancy in the placement of electrodes and their effects on the auditory evoked potentials of the brainstem (PEAT), we made a statistical study of these potentials using four different sites for the reference electrode to determine the best position for it.
Subjects And Methods: The study was done in 30 healthy volunteers aged between 17 and 22 years, 15 men and 15 women. In each person successive measurements were made of the PEAT, with the reference electrode on the vertex (Cz), high frontal (Fz), ear lobe of the opposite side to that of the ear being stimulated and the spinal apophysis of the 7th cervical vertebra (CV).
Introduction And Objective: In view of the disparity of data and methodology concerning medium (MAEP) and long latency (LAEP) acoustic evoked potentials, we have obtained tables of normal values using a reliable method and statistical study of these potentials in 30 healthy persons, in order to serve as a basis for clinical reference and for possible further studies.
Material And Methods: In the MAEP we used the two types of stimuli most commonly employed, first a click and then a rising-plateau-falling tone (2-6-2). We observed that this did not affect the latency or amplitude of the different waves, although the best defined waves are obtained with tones.
