Question: Question: Does interferon responsiveness change in treatment-experienced hepatitis C subjects : implications for drug development and clinical decisions?
Answer: We contend that P/R-experienced subjects are represented within treatment-naive subjects. There are 2 important implications of this finding: (1) from a drug development perspective, a successful direct antiviral plus P/R therapy (IFN-based triple therapy) trial in P/R-experienced subjects may serve as supportive evidence in treatment-naive subjects; and (2) from a clinical decision perspective, previous P/R exposure should not alter new treatment decisions involving IFN-based triple therapy, as the IFN responsiveness to a second course of IFN is comparable.

Answer: no


Question: Question: Do sevoflurane and isoflurane enhance the pre- and postischemic eicosanoid production in guinea pig hearts?
Answer: In an isolated guinea pig heart model, myocardial eicosanoid release was not increased by isoflurane or sevoflurane, either before or after ischemia. Sevoflurane (2 vol%) but not isoflurane attenuated the increased release of eicosanoids during reperfusion.

Answer:
no
