In other forms of hyperthyroidism, such as hormone- producing (morphologically benign) thyroid adenoma, the preferred therapeutic method is removal of tissue, either by surgery or administration of 131iodine in sufficient dosage.

Before the introduction of the better tolerated acyclovir, vidarabine played a major part in the treatment of herpes simplex encephalitis. Among virustatic antimetabolites, acyclovir (A) has both specificity of the highest degree and optimal tolerability. because it undergoes bioactivation only in infected cells, where it preferentially inhibits viral DNA synthesis.
When the diagnosis has been confirmed by electrocardiography, attempts are started to dissolve the thrombus pharmacologically (thrombolytic therapy: alteplase or streptokinase) or to remove the obstruction by mechanical means (balloon dilation or angioplasty). Heparin is given to prevent a possible vascular reocclusion, i. e. , to safeguard the patency of the affected vessel.
