Does oral fluid result compared to self reports of recent cocaine and heroin use by methadone maintenance patients?
Oral fluid testing provides an objective means of verifying recent drug use and for assessment of patients in treatment for substance use disorders.
Use of albendazole medication as an adjuvant to percutaneous treatment of liver hydatid cyst decreases the recurrence rate. Although there is no statistically significant difference between groups 2 and 3 in terms of efficacy and recurrence rate, patients in group 3 had a higher rate of side effect. Therefore, we conclude that albendazole treatment 1 week before and 1 month after PAIR treatment is sufficient to reduce/prevent recurrences.
