Safety of Growth Hormone Therapy in Patients with Idiopathic Short Stature: A Systematic Review: OAJBS Publishers

Safety of Growth Hormone Therapy in Patients with Idiopathic Short Stature: A Systematic Review by Elaine Rossi Ribeiro* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS)

Introduction: Idiopathic short stature is a common condition in the pediatric population requiring growth hormone therapy. Thus, based on patient safety concepts, we sought to group the main literature data related to this aspect in different countries.

Objectives: The aim of this systematic review was to identify what the literature says about the main safety aspects of growth hormone therapy in children with idiopathic short stature.

Methods: This is a systematic review using PubMed, BVS portal, Cochrane, LILACS, and CAPES databases, with the descriptors idiopathic short stature, human growth hormone therapy, patient safety, children, and the boolean “AND” between them. Inclusion criteria were children with idiopathic short stature treated at some point during their lifetime with growth hormone and studies dating between 2015 and 2020.

Results: The safety of growth hormone therapy in this patient profile remained consistent with data previously described in the literature. There was a difference in the incidence of adverse effects, indicating that there are various degrees of resistance to IGF-1 action in these individuals, and the response to GH may vary in this heterogeneous population. These children need higher doses of GH to get the same benefits compared to other etiologies of short stature.

Conclusion: Adverse effects were mostly mild, with rare severe cases, thus, it can be concluded that the use of GH in children with idiopathic short stature has an efficient safety profile, although further long-term studies are required.

Review on Analysis of Breast Tumor with Methods of Treatment by Nagham Mahmood Aljamali* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS) Breast malignance is the greatest public in ladies, with a high incidence in North America and Eastern Europe, medium in Southern Europe and the Middle East and low in the Far East. Breast malignance is the second most common malignance in the world after lung malignance, and since it happens a lot, the doctors asked the women to examine themselves by themselves, in order to discover the signs of the disease early before it spreads. It is possible that this disease can be treated after being diagnosed by a specialized doctor and determining the type of tumor in the breast, and the surgeon removes the breast completely and starts chemotherapy about 6 doses, then radiotherapy, how many sessions will be determined by the doctor, and then hormonal therapy, a medicine called Tamoxafin or any medicine determined by the doctor, and it is possible.

Facile Synthesis of Chitosan Nanoparticle with Different Features and Histopathological Ultrastructural Study on The Effect of Its Bio-complex with Bovine Serum Albumin in Mice Liver by Maged El-Kemary* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS)   We have synthesized chitosan nanoparticles (CS-NPs) with different characteristics using ionic gelation method. Results showed that the synthesized CS-NPs with different concentrations of trisodium polyphosphate (TPP) are irregular – spherical shaped with narrow size distribution and high stability. The microporous chitosan was also synthesized with new features characterized with different techniques as SEM, EDX, FTIR and BET. The synthesized microporous chitosan has a surface area and pore volume of 245.571m 2 /g and 0.155cm 3 /g respectively. Its microporous surface is functionalized with carboxyl and amine groups. Histopathological and ultrastructural studies of mice liver were performed using optical and scanning electron micro

Assessment of Medication Errors in Emergency Ward at Nekemte Referral Hospital, West Ethiopia by Balisa Mosisa* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS) Medication error is defined as failure in the treatment process that leads to or has the potential to lead to harm to the patient. It may occur at each five stages of drug ordering and delivery including prescription, transcription, dispensing, and administration or monitoring. Prevalence of medication error in healthcare settings have been found that they were common in hospitals. A significant proportion of medication errors are associated with actual or potentially harmful effects. https://biomedscis.com/fulltext/assessment-of-medication-errors-in-emergency-ward-at-nekemte-referral-hospital-west-ethiopia.ID.000398.php To Know More About Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science Please Visit: Biomedscis Are Click on:   https://Biomedscis.Com/
