Adv Hematol. 2016;2016:5437609. doi: 10.1155/2016/5437609. Epub 2016 Feb 23.

Objectives. Skeletal complications in β-homozygous thalassemic patients are uncommon but often debilitating, even amongst children and adolescent patients with well maintained transfusion and chelation therapy. The aim is to evaluate the biochemical markers of bone turnover in regularly transfused...

Current Concepts in Primary Biliary Cirrhosis and Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis.

Clinical and translational gastroenterology

Drug Deliv Transl Res. 2011 Aug;1(4):332-41. doi: 10.1007/s13346-011-0028-0.

Curcumin, an anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-neoplastic agent, exhibited limited oral efficacy due to its poor bioavailability. To overcome this limitation, polymeric implants for continuous systemic delivery of curcumin were developed and tested for their safety and biocompatibility. Two 2-cm...
