Does levocetirizine prolong the QT/QTc interval in healthy subjects : results from a thorough QT study?
Overall, the results of this thorough QT study indicate that the methodology of the trial was valid and sensitive enough to demonstrate the absence of effect of levocetirizine at both therapeutic (5 mg) and supra-therapeutic (30 mg) doses on cardiac repolarisation.
Despite prior staged treatment for deep postoperative shoulder infections, specimens obtained from open biopsy before replantation detected a persistent infection rate of 22% in all patients and 38% in patients with P acnes infection, which may indicate a role for this procedure in the prevention of recurrent infections.
