glycemic control achieved with intravenous insulin perfusion versus control subcutaneous insulin therapy over 24 hours. The second objective was to compare the MRI infarct growth between the 2 groups. The third objective was to compare the clinical and safety outcomes 90 days after stroke. The first and second objectives were
However the functional relevance of coronary collateral vessels in humans had also been a matter of debate for many years. w3 Much of this controversy was likely the result of inadequate means for gauging human coronary collaterals and the investigation of populations too small to be representative for all the patients with CAD. The latter is well illustrated by the fact that among
Median administration time 6 minutes vs. 2.6 to 3.0 hours chair/bed and overall hospital times were shorter with subcutaneous versus intravenous rituximab. Overall subcutaneous and intravenous rituximab had similar efficacy and safety
May 30 2019 Median overall survival was not reached with intravenous dosing vs 10.7 months with subcutaneous administration. Exposure to PF increased in a dose proportional manner over the range of intravenous doses. Median time to maximum observed serum concentration was 8 days after subcutaneous administration.
