-LRB- 300 mg once daily -RRB- to 20 patients with RP in a single-centre , double-blind , placebo-controlled , randomized cross-over study with two 7-day periods of treatment separated by 21 days of washout . +MATERIALS AND METHODS : Twenty-eight patients with severe VKC were randomly assigned to receive either topical MMC -LRB- 0.01 % -RRB- -LRB- n = 17 -RRB- or distilled water -LRB- n = 11 -RRB- three times daily for a period of two weeks . +METHODS : Three models were selected : -LRB- 1 -RRB- the Nyx -LRB- nob -RRB- mouse model of complete congenital_stationary_night_blindness , -LRB- 2 -RRB- the oxygen-induced retinopathy -LRB- OIR -RRB- rat model of retinopathy_of_prematurity -LRB- ROP -RRB- , and -LRB- 3 -RRB- the Rs1 knockout -LRB- KO -RRB- mouse model of X-linked_juvenile_retinoschisis . +MATERIALS AND METHODS : Twenty-eight patients with severe VKC were randomly assigned to receive either topical MMC -LRB- 0.01 % -RRB- -LRB- n = 17 -RRB- or distilled water -LRB- n = 11 -RRB- three times daily for a period of two weeks . +Analysis of the products of RT-PCR showed biallelic expression of the H19 gene in 12 testicular_germ_cell_tumors -LRB- patients numbered 6 , 8-13 , 15 , 16 , and 18-20 -RRB- and of the IGF2 gene in 10 testicular_germ_cell_tumors -LRB- patients numbered 1 , 3 , 6 , 8-13 , and 15-20 -RRB- . +METHODS : We performed a multicenter , randomized , double-blind , placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of eprodisate in patients with AA_amyloidosis_and_kidney_involvement . +MATERIALS AND METHODS : Twenty-eight patients with severe VKC were randomly assigned to receive either topical MMC -LRB- 0.01 % -RRB- -LRB- n = 17 -RRB- or distilled water -LRB- n = 11 -RRB- three times daily for a period of two weeks . +A phase 2 , randomized , double-blind , placebo-controlled , dose-ranging study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of orally administered VT-1161 in the treatment of recurrent vulvovaginal_candidiasis . +MATERIALS AND METHODS : Twenty-eight patients with severe VKC were randomly assigned to receive either topical MMC -LRB- 0.01 % -RRB- -LRB- n = 17 -RRB- or distilled water -LRB- n = 11 -RRB- three times daily for a period of two weeks . +We undertook a double-blind , randomized , placebo-controlled , cross-over study to investigate the effects of a single dose of formoterol inhaled via Turbuhaler -LRB- 12 micrograms -RRB- and of albuterol inhaled via Turbuhaler -LRB- 200 micrograms -RRB- on airway responsiveness to AMP and histamine in 16 subjects with mild atopic_asthma . +The aim of this randomized double-blind , placebo-controlled , parallel-group study was to evaluate the efficacy , safety , and tolerability of pregabalin in combination with oxycodone or placebo , in patients with either postherpetic_neuralgia -LRB- PHN -RRB- or painful_diabetic_neuropathy -LRB- PDN -RRB- . +MATERIALS AND METHODS : Twenty-eight patients with severe VKC were randomly assigned to receive either topical MMC -LRB- 0.01 % -RRB- -LRB- n = 17 -RRB- or distilled water -LRB- n = 11 -RRB- three times daily for a period of two weeks . +A double-blind , randomized , prospective , parallel-group study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MTA in the treatment of asthmatic_crisis in children 2 to 6 years of age . +These in vitro and in vivo data suggest that c-MET may be a potential therapeutic target in ASPS , and cabozantinib may be a particularly useful therapeutic option for patients with ASPS , including those with pazopanib-resistant ASPS . +AIM : The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of short-term -LRB- 3 months -RRB- and long-term -LRB- 12-24 months -RRB- treatment with cabergoline in patients with CD . +BACKGROUND : This randomized , double-blind , placebo-controlled trial was designed to assess the efficacy and safety of topiramate in bulimia_nervosa . +MATERIALS AND METHODS : Twenty-eight patients with severe VKC were randomly assigned to receive either topical MMC -LRB- 0.01 % -RRB- -LRB- n = 17 -RRB- or distilled water -LRB- n = 11 -RRB- three times daily for a period of two weeks . +METHODS : SR_49059 , an orally active , non-peptidic vasopressin_V1a_receptor antagonist , was given orally -LRB- 300 mg once daily -RRB- to 20 patients with RP in a single-centre ,
