Rhabdomyosarcoma
more info:
two most common forms are embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma and alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. In the former, which is more common in younger children, the cancer cells resemble those of a typical 6-to-8-week embryo. In the latter, which is more common in older children and teenagers, they resemble those of a typical 10-to-12-week embryo.
Rhabdomyosarcoma is a relatively rare form of cancer. When RMS does occur, it is most commonly seen in children aged one to five years old. Less commonly, it can also present in teens aged 15 to 19, and can even develop in adulthood, though this is even more rare.
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital reports that Childhood Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in children. Soft tissue sarcomas make up about 3% of childhood cancers. |

Basically uncoils it from the nucleosome and histones ahad of the replication fork so it can replicate

|
Definition
Creatinine>2.0
Metformin is absolutely contraindicated in patients with renal failure due to the risk of lactic acidosis. An elevated serum creatinine suggests a decrease in GFR and the presence of renal failure.
Metformin is a drug in the biguanide class used to treat diabetes mellitus type II. Metformin treats hyperglycemia by inhibiting gluconeogenesis. Metformin carries no risk of hypoglycemia, but is known to occasionally cause lactic acidosis in patients with renal failure, liver dysfunction, CHF, alcoholism, and sepsis. |

What is the mechanism of action of Sitagliptin? |
|
Definition
Sitagliptin is a diabetic drug, dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitor. This class of drugs acts to inhibit degradation of the endogenous incretins GLP-1 and GIP.
Incretins are a group of gastrointestinal hormones that increase the amount of insulin released from the beta cells of the islets of Langerhans after eating. They begin to act before blood glucose levels become elevated. Incretins also inhibit glucagon release from alpha cells of the islets of Langerhans. DPP-4 inhibitors block degradation of incretins and promote enhanced insulin secretion. |
