BackgroundandImportance CT-guidedtransforaminalepidural steroidinjection(TFESI)hasbecomeincreasinglyusedinthe treatmentofradicularpain.Choiceofpharmacologicagents forthisprocedurefacesseveralissues,oneofthemiscompatibilityoflocalanaestheticandcorticosteroidmixture.
AimandObjectives Weaimedtoassessthecompatibilityof localanaestheticandcorticosteroidmixturesthatareusedin TFESI.
MaterialsandMethods First,weconductedaliteraturesearch. Intheexperimentalpartofourstudy,localanaesthetics(lidocaine,bupivacaine,levobupivacaine,trimecaine)andcorticosteroids(particulate:betamethasone,methylprednisoloneacetate; non-particulate:dexamethasone)forinjectionavailableinSlovakiawereused.Eachlocalanaestheticwasmixedwitheach corticosteroidinthesyringeusing1:1and1:3volumeratio atroomtemperature.Formationofcrystalsinthemixture wasobservedvisuallyandwasconfirmedwithamicroscope. Thesizeofthecrystalswasdeterminedusingamicroscope slidewithamicrometrescale.

BackgroundandImportance Cardiovasculardiseases(CVD)are theleadingcauseofmortalityandmorbidityintheworld. Agingdecreasesorganfunctionwhichcanalsoincluderenal impairment.Decreasedrenalfunctionmayincreasetheriskof adversedrugeventsandrequiresdoseadjustment.Morethan halfoftheelderlypatientsareexposedtopolytherapy(five ormoredrugs).Polytherapycomplicatesdrugmanagement andincreasestheriskofpotentiallyinappropriatemedications (PIMs)anddrug-druginteractions(DDIs)whichcancomplicatethecourseoftreatmentandthreatenpatientsafety.
AimandObjectives Theaimofthestudywastoevaluatethe prevalenceofdrug-relatedproblemsusingthe ‘Bestpossible medicationhistory ’ (BPMH)andtheprevalenceofcardiovasculardrugsamongidentifieddrug-relatedproblems.
MaterialandMethods Thestudyincluded105patientsaged 65yearsorolder,admittedtoDubravaUniversityHospital, DepartmentofCardiology.Polypharmacywasdefinedasthe simultaneoususeof5–9drugs,whiletheuseof10drugsand morewasdefinedasexcessivepolypharmacy.TheEU(7)-PIM criteriawereappliedforPIMsdetection.PotentialDDIswere detectedusingLexicompsoftware.Theanalysisofinappropriatelyprescribedrenalriskdrugswasperformedinpatients witheGFR<60ml/min/1.73m2 (KDIGOstagesG3a,G3b, G4andG5).
Results Theresearchdeterminedthepresenceofpolypharmacy in56.2%ofpatients,while27.6%ofthemused10ormore medications.DrugsbelongingtoATCgroupCaccountedfor 47.6%ofalldrugsinpatientswithpolytherapyand43.7%of alldrugsinpatientswithexcessivepolypharmacy.PIMswere foundin74.3%ofpatients,ofwhich20.7%wereATCgroup C.Atleastonepotentialclinicallysignificantinteractionwas foundin93.3%ofpatients,ofwhich72.1%involveddrugs ofATCgroupC.Atotalof35renalriskdrugsweredetected inpatientswithrenalimpairment,ofwhich62.9%ofdrugs belongedtoATCgroupC.

Results Among2,708patientsmeetingtheinclusioncriteria, 41.8%receivedhigh-,37.2%moderate-,andonly0.2%lowintensitytherapy,while19.8%didnotreceiveanystatins. Outofthehigh-intensityregimens,atorvastatin40mgwas themostcommonregimenprescribedfollowedbyrosuvastatin 20mg.Only29.9%ofpatientsaged>75receivedintensive regimens,whilethepercentageforpatientsaged £75was 46.9%.Asignificantcorrelation(p<0.05)wasfoundbetween thedecisiontoprescribeastatinandthemeanbaselineLDLcholesterollevel.

Results Overthe5-yearstudyperiod,atotalof855admissionswereincluded,generatingacumulativestayof10,686 days,withAFprescribedin12episodes/100admissions.A consistentdistributionpatternwasobserved,withliposomal amphotericinB(LBL)beingtheprimaryprescribedAF(close to50%),followedbyechinocandins(30%),andfinallyvoriconazole(25.3%).Themedianoverallconsumptionwas39.26 DDD/100B(39.21–65.12)and9.03DOT/100B(8.34–10.46). Thisrepresenteda42.9%decreaseinDDD/100Banda 42.5%decreaseinDOT/100B,primarilyduetoreducedLBL usage,whichdecreasedby54.3%.RegardingtheaveragedurationofeachAFcycle,therewasadecreasingtrendfrom 12.65to9.4days.

AimandObjectives Thisstudyaimedtoevaluatetherisksof HBVrinpsoriasispatientstreatedwithcytokineinhibitors.
MaterialandMethods FollowingthePreferredReportingItems forSystematicReviewsandMeta-Analyses,weconducteda systematicliteraturesearchinPubMed,Embase,WebofScience,andCochraneCentralRegisterofControlledTrialsfor relevantobservationalstudieson5May2023.Weincluded studieswith>5casesandcompleteHBVstatus.Twoindependentreviewersperformedthestudyselectionanddata extraction,andthediscrepanciesbetweenreviewerswouldbe solvedbythefulldiscussion.Arandom-effectsmeta-analysis assessedthepooledincidenceofHBVr.Wealsoconducted subgroupanalysestocompareHBVrincidenceacrossdifferent cytokineinhibitorsandHBsAbstatus.
Results Eightobservationalstudiescomprising181psoriasis patientswereincluded.AmongHBsAg+individualswithout antiviralprophylaxis,thepooledHBVrincidencewas25.3% (95%CI:10.4to49.7%)withamedianonsetat5months (range:3–7months)fromthecytokineinhibitorinitiation.No HBVreventswereobservedinHBsAg+individualswithantiviralprophylaxis.AmongHBsAg /HBcAb+individuals,the pooledHBVrincidencewas5.0%(95%CI:2.3to10.8%) withamedianonsetat12monthsfromthecytokineinhibitor initiation.SubgroupanalysisshowedsimilarpooledHBVr

BackgroundandImportance Recently,theInternationalAgency forResearchonCancer(IARC)hasclassifiedaspartameas possiblycarcinogenictohumans.Furthermore,theJoint ExpertCommitteeonFoodAdditives(JECFA)administeredby theFoodandAgricultureOrganizationoftheUnitedNations inpartnershipwiththeWorldHealthOrganizationhas acceptedadailyintakeof40mg/kgbodyweightassafety threshold.

AimandObjectives Toanalysethesafetyprofileofibrutinib inCLLall-linesoftreatment,andthemanagementofits toxicity.
Secondaryendpoints todetermineibrutinib’styperesponses.

AimandObjectives Onthatbackground,wesoughttocharacteriseanticoagulantutilisationpatternsandinappropriateness amonggeriatricAFinpatients.
MaterialandMethods Anobservationalstudywasperformed attheacutegeriatricunitsof anacademichospital.Thefirst 90AFpatientsfor2020,2021and2022,whoreceivedat leastoneoralanticoagulant,wereincluded.Anticoagulantuse atdischargeandtherapyappropriatenesswereassessed.

AimandObjectives Thestudyaimstomeasureibrutinibadherenceandpersistenceinreal-worldCLLpatients,andanalyse theircorrelationwithpatientdemographics,clinicalfactors, andgeneticsinaNorthernItalianUniversityHospital.
MaterialandMethods ThisretrospectivestudyincludedCLL patientsaged18orolderwhoreceivedibrutinibmonotherapy foratleast6months(observedbetween2016and30/06/ 2023).Prescriptiondatacamefromelectronicprescribingsoftware,andclinicalinformationwassourcedfromAIFARegistries.Adherencewasassessedusingtheratioofreceivedto prescribeddailydoses(RDD/PDD),andpersistencewasdeterminedbytheaveragedurationoftherapybeforediscontinuation(indays).PatientswithaRDD/PDDratio 0.9were consideredadherent.

Results Amongthe42subjectsinthisstudy,theaverageibrutinibadherenceratewas0.75(rangingfrom0.45to1).There werenonotabledifferencesinadherenceratesbasedondemographicorclinicalcharacteristics.Interestingly,amajorityof patients(57%)withunfavourablecytogeneticshadanRDD/ PDDratiobelow0.9.Amongpatientswhoexperienced adversereactions,86%belongedtothelowadherencegroup, whilesevensubjectswithdiseaseprogressionwereevenlysplit betweenthetwoadherencegroups.Outofthe20patients whodiscontinuedtreatment,onlyonehadafavourablecytogeneticprofile(IGHV-mutated;noTP53mutationordel(17p)). Theaveragetimetodiscontinuationwasshorterforsubjects whoexperiencedtoxicity(976days)comparedtothosewho haddiseaseprogression(1312days).
