Symptomatic Efficacy of Pharmacological Treatments for Knee Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review and a Network Meta-Analysis with a 6-Month Time Horizon.

abstract：:Dosages of anticancer drugs are usually calculated on the basis of a uniform standard, the body surface area (BSA). Although many physiological functions are proportionate to BSA, overall drug clearance is only partially related to this parameter. Consequently, following administration of equivalent drug dosages based...
