Antiepileptic drug (AED) treatment has been reported in small studies without placebo control.
Botulinum toxin injection into the cricopharyngeus, either endoscopically or transcutaneously, has been reported in small case series to be of benefit in unspecified pharyngeal dysphagia.24, 25, 26, 27 Although these studies attempted to target cricopharyngeal disorders, optimal identification of failed cricopharyngeal relaxation (using EMG or even manometry) was not adopted in those studies.
Potential benefits of potent combination antiretroviral therapy, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, and corticosteroids have been reported in small clinical trials and case reports.
Group differences in N1 or N2P2-amplitudes after hand or face stimulation have only been reported in small studies (n = 9 14 in each group) [18 20].
EUS-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) of liver masses has only been reported in small series from single centers.A retrospective questionnaire was sent by e-mail to 130 EUS-FNA centers around the world regarding indications, complications, and findings of EUS-FNA of the liver.Twenty-one centers reported 167 cases of EUS-FNA of the liver.
Although negative associations between IL12B and PTB have been reported in small (underpowered) population-based studies [23], [24], our results, indicating a role for IL12B variation in TB susceptibility, are in agreement with studies in Hong Kong Chinese [25], Russian [16], Indian [26] and Indonesian population samples [27].
To our knowledge, this is the first evidence of an ECM molecule inhibiting the effectiveness of gefitinib, although protection from apoptosis by ECM proteins has been reported in small-cell lung carcinoma (Sethi et al, 1999) (Table 2).
Furthermore, the observed amplicon at 15q24qter has also been reported in small-cell lung cancers, while the amplicon detected here at 20q11q12 includes the PTPN1 gene located at 20q12 which serves as a non-receptor tyrosine phosphatase involved in growth regulation [ 16].
Declines have also been reported in smaller studies from countries as far-flung as Israel, India, New Zealand, Tunisia, and Finland over the last 10 years.
This has been reported in smaller studies in the region, and a study in the United States among diaphragm-users [ 41, 42].
