Dizziness

Dizziness is an imprecise term that can refer to a sense of disorientation in space, vertigo, or lightheadedness.

Etidronic acid

Etidronic acid, also known as etidronate, is a non-nitrogenous bisphosphonate used as a medication, detergent, water treatment, and cosmetic. Pamidronic acid and Etidronic acid are bisphosphonates.

Glucocorticoid

Glucocorticoids (or, less commonly, glucocorticosteroids) are a class of corticosteroids, which are a class of steroid hormones.

Hypercalcaemia

Hypercalcemia, also spelled hypercalcaemia, is a high calcium (Ca2+) level in the blood serum.

See Pamidronic acid and Hypercalcaemia

Hypocalcemia

Hypocalcemia is a medical condition characterized by low calcium levels in the blood serum.

See Pamidronic acid and Hypocalcemia

Ibandronic acid

Ibandronic acid is a bisphosphonate medication used in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis and metastasis-associated skeletal fractures in people with cancer. Pamidronic acid and Ibandronic acid are bisphosphonates and Farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase inhibitors.

See Pamidronic acid and Ibandronic acid

In vitro

In vitro (meaning in glass, or in the glass) studies are performed with microorganisms, cells, or biological molecules outside their normal biological context.

See Pamidronic acid and In vitro

In vivo

Studies that are in vivo (Latin for "within the living"; often not italicized in English) are those in which the effects of various biological entities are tested on whole, living organisms or cells, usually animals, including humans, and plants, as opposed to a tissue extract or dead organism.

Influenza-like illness

Influenza-like illness (ILI), also known as flu-like syndrome or flu-like symptoms, is a medical diagnosis of possible influenza or other illness causing a set of common symptoms.

Intravenous therapy

Intravenous therapy (abbreviated as IV therapy) is a medical technique that administers fluids, medications and nutrients directly into a person's vein.

Kidney

In humans, the kidneys are two reddish-brown bean-shaped blood-filtering organs that are a multilobar, multipapillary form of mammalian kidneys, usually without signs of external lobulation.

Mannitol

Mannitol is a type of sugar alcohol used as a sweetener and medication. Pamidronic acid and Mannitol are Nephrotoxins.

Osteonecrosis of the jaw

Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is a severe bone disease (osteonecrosis) that affects the jaws (the maxilla and the mandible).

See Pamidronic acid and Osteonecrosis of the jaw

Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disorder characterized by low bone mass, micro-architectural deterioration of bone tissue leading to more porous bone, and consequent increase in fracture risk.

See Pamidronic acid and Osteoporosis

Paget's disease of bone

Paget's disease of bone (commonly known as Paget's disease or, historically, osteitis deformans) is a condition involving cellular remodeling and deformity of one or more bones.
