The Randomized AMBORA Trial: Impact of Pharmacological/Pharmaceutical Care on Medication Safety and Patient-Reported Outcomes During Treatment With New Oral Anticancer Agents.

Purpose: Oral anticancer drugs (eg, kinase inhibitors) play an important role in cancer therapy. However, considerable challenges regarding medication safety of oral anticancer drugs have been reported. Randomized, controlled, multicenter studies on the impact of intensified clinical pharmacological/pharmaceutical care on patient safety and patient treatment perception are lacking.

Introducing Simple Detection of Bioavailable Arsenic at Rafaela (Santa Fe Province, Argentina) Using the ARSOlux Biosensor.

Numerous articles have reported the occurrence of arsenic in drinking water in Argentina, and the resulting health effects in severely affected regions of the country. Arsenic in drinking water in Argentina is largely naturally occurring due to elevated background content of the metalloid in volcanic sediments, although, in some regions, mining can contribute. While the origin of arsenic release has been discussed extensively, the problem of drinking water contamination has not yet been solved.
