Does a benzodiazepine discontinuation programme increase the frequency of contacts with the family practice?
No clinically important differences in practice contacts were observed when the course of the number of contacts and non-benzodiazepine prescriptions were compared between the experimental and control groups. Family practitioners do not have to anticipate an increased workload associated with participation in such a benzodiazepine discontinuation programme.
Combination therapy consisting of intramyocardial Shh gene transfer and AMD3100-induced progenitor-cell mobilization improves cardiac functional recovery after MI and is superior to either individual treatment for promoting therapeutic neovascularization.
