Dissolution testing of prednisone and salicylic acid calibrator tablets at different tablet locations
… (salicylic acid) and disintegrating tablets (Prednisone) were experimentally determined for many different tablet locations, both centered on the vessel bottom and off-center. The location of the tablet was experimentally varied in very small increments in order to determine the exact location …

The immunomodulatory role of prednisone in patients with HIV-associated tuberculosis and assessment of its impact on lung function outcome
In this thesis, I assess the effect of prednisone on immunopathology and pulmonary function in HIV-associated tuberculosis and tuberculosis-associated immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (TB-IRIS). I do this using data collected during the PredART trial. This randomized, double-blind, …

The Effect of Steroid Dose Regimen on the Relationship Between Lower Extremity Muscle Function and Cardiac Function in Post Heart Transplant Patients
… among nine male, cardiac transplant recipients. Prednisone dosage was monitored, and isokinetic strength testing was performed at 4 different time periods throughout the first year post-transplantation. Cardiovascular/aerobic measurements were obtained at the fourth time period. Pre-surgery …

MPhil in pulmonary haemorrhage in children in Cape Town
… diagnosis 6/16 (37%) received intravenous methyl-prednisone and 10/16(63%) received oral prednisone as treatment. The children who received more than one immunosuppressant agent as management were 14/16 (87%). Ten out of 16 children are in remission. Conclusion: Early diagnosis of DAH and …

Prolonged tuberculosis-associated immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome: characteristics and risk factors
… factors for relapsing after a 4-week course of prednisone for treatment of TB-IRIS were analysed. Results: Two-hundred and sixteen patients with TB-IRIS were included. The median duration of TB-IRIS symptoms was 71.0 days (IQR=41.0-113.2). In 73/181 patients with sufficient follow-up (40.3%) …
