Effect of hydroxylamine hydrochloride on the bacterium Shigella dysenteriae 1 and antigens isolated from them

A study was made into the functional status of hypophysis, adrenal cortex, ovaries, and thyroid gland in patients with kraurosis and leukoplakia vulvae. The above patients demonstrated profound disturbances in the system hypophysis-ovaries, that attest to the need for applying corrective therapies to treat the disturbed hormonal homeostasis.     

Aggressive therapy does not substantially alter the long-term course of rheumatoid arthritis. So what else is new?

A consensus has evolved that there is little evidence supporting the view that the second line agents significantly alter long-term outcomes in rheumatoid arthritis. Consequently, changes in approaches to treatment currently being employed include earlier use of existing second line agents, their use in combinations, and greater use of corticosteroids. Our awareness that our current drugs, at best, fall considerably short of attaining the therapeutic results we would like to achieve causes us to look forward to the development of rationally derived biologic agents with considerable anticipation.
