[Methotrexate-associated photosensitization].

BACKGROUND: Methotrexate (MTX), alongside fumaric acid esters, is the most commonly used drug in the systemic therapy of psoriasis in Germany. It is sometimes used in combination with topical therapy and/or phototherapy due to synergistic effects. CASE REPORT: Here we describe a case of phototoxic dermatitis during treatment with MTX. Other cutaneous side effects of MTX include so-called UV recall, radiation recall, and skin tumor formation.

INFLUENCE OF IRON PREPARATIONS ON OCCULT BLOOD TESTS.

Ferrous fumarate (Fersamal) and ferrous carbonate (Ferrodic) may produce false-positive results with the orthotolidine tablet tests (Occultest and Hematest) if administered to patients being investigated for alimentary bleeding. Misleading results are also likely if the benzidine test is employed as a filter-paper procedure. Ferrous sulphate, gluconate, succinate, iron and ammonium citrate, and other preparations of iron have no influence on the modern tablet tests for occult alimentary bleeding.

INSTIs for the management of HIV-associated TB (INSIGHT study): a phase 2b study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of a combination of bictegravir, emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide fumarate for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in patients with drug-susceptible tuberculosis on a rifampicin-based treatment regimen: a phase 2b open-label randomised controlled trial.

INTRODUCTION: Cotreatment of HIV and tuberculosis (TB) reduces morbidity and mortality in coinfected patients. Availability of antiretroviral treatment (ART) drug options, including within drug classes, is important, particularly in high HIV/TB burden low and middle-income countries. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This is a phase 2b, open-label, non-comparative randomised controlled trial to assess the antiretroviral activity of a fixed-drug, single tablet, combination of bictegravir (BIC) 50 mg/emtricitabine (FTC) 200 mg/tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) 25 mg (Biktarvy). The primary objective is to determ

Treatment options after virological failure of first-line tenofovir-based regimens in South Africa: an analysis by deep sequencing.

In a South African cohort of participants living with HIV developing virological failure on first-line tenofovir disoproxyl fumarate (TDF)-based regimens, at least 70% of participants demonstrated TDF resistance according to combined Sanger and MiSeq genotyping. Sanger sequencing missed the K65R mutation in 30% of samples. Unless HIV genotyping is available to closely monitor epidemiological HIV resistance to TDF, its efficacy as second-line therapy will be greatly compromised.

Ten paths to the discovery of antivirally active nucleoside and nucleotide analogues.

Nucleoside and nucleotide analogues have proven to be an effective approach toward the development of antiviral compounds. This approach has so far yielded a number of clinically useful antiviral drugs, such as BVDU (brivudin), (val)aciclovir, cidofovir, adefovir dipivoxil, and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, and current perspectives justify the further development of other nucleoside analogues, such as FV-100, and that of the DAPy-based nucleotide analogues, the 5-aza analogue of cidofovir, and prodrug derivatives thereof.

Mercury methylation by dissimilatory iron-reducing bacteria.

The Hg-methylating ability of dissimilatory iron-reducing bacteria in the genera Geobacter, Desulfuromonas, and Shewanella was examined. All of the Geobacter and Desulfuromonas strains tested methylated mercury while reducing Fe(III), nitrate, or fumarate. In contrast, none of the Shewanella strains produced methylmercury at higher levels than abiotic controls under similar culture conditions. Geobacter and Desulfuromonas are closely related to known Hg-methylating sulfate-reducing bacteria within the Deltaproteobacteria.

Extrafine single inhaler triple therapy effectiveness in COPD patients previously treated with multiple-inhaler triple therapy: the TRIWIN study.

BACKGROUND: The extrafine single inhaler triple therapy (efSITT) containing beclomethasone dipropionate/formoterol fumarate/glycopyrronium 87/5/9 μg has proved to be efficacious in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in randomized control trials. OBJECTIVE: TRIWIN study evaluated the effectiveness of efSITT delivering beclomethasone dipropionate/formoterol fumarate/glycopyrronium 87/5/9 μg in COPD patients previously treated with multiple-inhaler triple therapy (MITT) in a real-world study in Greece. DESIGN: Prospective, multicenter, observational, non-interventional s

Psoriasis treatments in the stabilization of atherosclerosis: a systematic review.

This systematic review explores the relationship between achieving minimal disease activity in psoriasis and the progression of atherosclerosis. It investigates how biologic therapies and other treatments impact atherosclerosis markers, offering insights into therapeutic strategies. A comprehensive search of PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science was conducted from January 1, 2000, to April 1, 2023, using terms such as psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, atherosclerosis, biologic therapy, vascular stiffness, carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), and coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA).

Adherence and quality of life assessment in patients with asthma treatment with budesonide/formoterol via the Elpenhaler device: the COMPLETE study.

BACKGROUND: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways that causes recurring episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness and coughing. Inhaled drugs on a daily basis are the cornerstone of asthma treatment, therefore, patient adherence is very important. METHODS: We performed a multicenter, open, non-interventional, observational, prospective study of 716 adult patients diagnosed with asthma receiving FDC (Fixed-dose combination) budesonide/formoterol via the Elpenhaler device. We assessed the adherence to treatment at 3 and 6 months (based on the MMAS-8: 8-item Morisky

Exploiting von Pechmann coumarin derivatization for spectrofluorimetric determination of formoterol in pharmaceutical samples with application to content uniformity testing.

A sensitive spectrofluorimetric technique exhibiting acceptable selectivity was established for the quantification of formoterol (FMT) via the von Pechmann condensation reaction, leading to the formation of intensely fluorescent coumarin derivatives. In this reaction, FMT interacts with ethyl acetoacetate in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid, producing a fluorescent product. The emitted fluorescence was recorded at 445 nm following excitation at 361 nm. Experimental parameters influencing the reaction were carefully optimized to achieve maximum fluorescence response and method stabili

Effectiveness and safety of second-generation antipsychotics for psychiatric disorders apart from schizophrenia: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs) are widely used in treating schizophrenia and related disorders, also other mental disorders. However, the efficacy and safety of SGAs for treating other mental disorders is unclear. A systematic literature search for randomized, placebo-controlled trials of 11 SGAs for treating 18 mental disorders apart from schizophrenia were carried out from database inception to April 3, 2022. The primary outcome was the mean change in the total score for different mental disorders. The secondary outcome was the odds ratio (OR) of response, remission rates and risk r

Aliskiren induced remarkable hypertriglyceridemia.

We herein report the first case of remarkable hypertriglyceridemia induced by aliskiren. A 42-year-old man with chronic kidney disease who had been taking antihypertensive medication for approximately 10 years was treated with aliskiren at a dose of 150 mg/day due to uncontrolled hypertension. Six weeks later, although the patient's blood pressure decreased, a laboratory examination revealed remarkable hypertriglyceridemia and an elevated creatinine level. We suspected the occurrence of an adverse event of aliskiren, and the medication was discontinued. Thereafter, the hypertriglyceridemia and

Hereditary Leiomyomatosis and Renal Cell Cancer (HLRCC) Syndrome.

In hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma syndrome, fumarate hydratase-deficient renal cell carcinomas typically present as aggressive, unilateral, often cystic masses with heterogeneous enhancement. These tumors can metastasize early, making appropriate imaging and staging critical for diagnosis and management. Teaching point: When a renal lesion suspected of RCC is identified in a patient with cutaneous and uterine leiomyomas, HLRCC should be evaluated, which is important for future genetic counseling.

Real-life experience with dimethylfumarate in palmoplantar psoriasis: A multicentre retrospective Italian study.

Palmoplantar (PP) psoriasis is considered one of the most hard-to-treat areas with important impact on patients' quality of life, and few data are available about the efficacy of dimethylfumarate (DMF) on these areas. In our noninterventional multicentre retrospective cohort study of patients with PP psoriasis treated with DMF, effectiveness was evaluated as mean pp Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (ppPASI) reduction and as proportion of patients that reach ppPASI 75 at 4, 12, 24 and 48 weeks. The reduction in ppPASI was 23.5% at w4, 49.7% at w12, 69.1% at w24 and 81.1% at w48. pp Investigato

An outbreak of furniture related dermatitis ('sofa dermatitis') in Finland and the UK: history and clinical cases.

In February 2007, an epidemic of severe dermatitis from Chinese recliner chairs and sofas started to unfold first in Finland and a few months later in the UK. Some patients reacted in patch tests (PTs) strongly to the material of their furniture, either leather or fabric. There have been hundreds of reports of chair or sofa dermatitis from Finland and the UK, with all cases linked to the same furniture factory in China. Clinical findings in both countries were very similar and unlike any known dermatosis. Many cases have been quite severe, resembling mycosis fungoides or septic infections, req
