A comparative clinico-dermoscopic study of intralesional injection of combined digoxin and furosemide, Candida antigen, and vitamin D3 for multiple warts.

Background: Immunostimulatory and antiproliferative therapies have been widely used for the treatment of multiple warts. Recently, anti-HPV activity of ionic contra viral therapy (ICVT) which is comprised of combined digoxin and furosemide has been demonstrated.

Aim: To evaluate and compare the effectiveness and safety of intralesional injection of Candida antigen, vitamin D3, and combined digoxin and furosemide in the treatment of multiple warts.

Diagnostic and Prognostic Significance of Serum and Tissue Galectin 3 Expression in Patients with Carcinoma of the Bladder.

Background: Galectins are group of proteins found in the cytoplasm, nucleus, cell surface and extracellular matrix. Galectin 3 (Gal-3) displays pathological expression in a variety of processes such as tumorigenesis.

Patients And Method: 70 patients classified into the control group, cystitis group, transitional cell carcinoma group, and squamous cell carcinoma group were enrolled in this study which aimed to detect the serum level and the intensity of tissue expression of Gal-3.

Galectin 3 for the diagnosis of bladder cancer.

Objective: To evaluate serum levels of galectin-3 (G-3) in patients with bladder cancer and a control group, as a potential diagnostic and prognostic serum tumour marker.

Patients And Methods: Between November 2012 and January 2013, 55 patients (median age 58 years) were enrolled into three groups, i.e.
