intercurrent

Intercurrent ideas for a totally new subway were rejected in 1976.

Attacks are often precipitated by an intercurrent problem, such as infection or constipation.

Intercurrent opportunistic infection is a risk that may also lead to a decrease in drug delivery.

Intercurrent illness such as pneumonia may be present.

Development of intercurrent poor-risk factors dictates the need for combination chemotherapy.

Therapy with interferon-alpha is another treatment option, especially for patients with intercurrent infection.

Because of clinical problems related to smoking and alcohol use in this population, many patients succumb to intercurrent illness rather than to the primary cancer.

This is particularly associated with the child's age and the presence or absence of intercurrent infection, which is often seasonally related.

Insulin-resistant diabetes developed, and the patients died during childhood of ketoacidosis and intercurrent infections.

However, surgery and intercurrent disease in patients on corticosteroid therapy without adjusting the dosage to accommodate for increased requirements may also result in this condition.

Manifesting as a sudden fall in the haemoglobin value with no compensatory reticulocytosis, these are usually secondary to intercurrent infection, most commonly with parvo virus.

Subsequent events tended to recur at the time of intercurrent infections, at which time the flow rate of oxygen was increased; none subsequently required cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Alternatively, some subjects may require H pylori infection and then clear it spontaneously or with the aid of antibiotic treatment, perhaps given for some intercurrent respiratory or urinary tract infection.

This most commonly results from an intercurrent illness (such as pneumonia), myocardial infarction (a heart attack), arrhythmias, uncontrolled hypertension, or a patient's failure to maintain a fluid restriction, diet, or medication.

As Dr. Julian M. Stewart, an expert in OI from New York Medical College states, "Many syncopal patients have no intercurrent illness; between faints, they are well."

In a series of 372 patients treated with radiation therapy and followed for 20 years, 47% eventually died of prostate cancer, but 44% died of intercurrent illnesses without evidence of prostate cancer.

The therapy of COPD and emphysema is currently limited to pharmacologic bronchodilation to relieve dyspnea, antibiotics for intercurrent respiratory tract infection, and vaccination against prominent respiratory pathogens.

This may be the result of either previously undiagnosed Addison's disease, a disease process suddenly affecting adrenal function (such as adrenal hemorrhage), or an intercurrent problem (e.g. infection, trauma) in someone known to have Addison's disease.

DKA may be the first symptom of previously undiagnosed diabetes, but it may also occur in people known to have diabetes as a result of a variety of causes, such as intercurrent illness or poor compliance with insulin therapy.

Cephalosporins possibly enhance the anticoagulant effect of coumarins (e.g. Warfarin) - change in patient's clinical condition, particularly associated with liver disease, intercurrent illness, or drug administration, necessitates more frequent testing of INR, and dose adjustment as necessary.

In 1978 he started a pioneer project based on the use of modelling in hydraulic fracturing, and in 1984 he focused his attention on a project aimed at investigating complex intercurrent processes in the in-situ thermal recovery of bituminous sand.

As with many non-sexually transmitted opportunistic infections, intercurrent infections with sexually transmitted pathogens (especially pathogens that cause genital ulcers such as herpes simplex, syphilis, and chancroid) can stimulate increases in HIV viral load and consequent declines in CD4+ count.

Because of the lag time between selecting a eligible control and interviewing them, an intercurrent illness could have caused them to lower or increase their tap water consumption in the four weeks prior to their interview, thereby inflating or deflating the association the between the pattern of tap water consumption and cryptosporidiosis.
