Article Synopsis
- Diabetes management is crucial, and therapeutic drug monitoring, particularly for medications like metformin and glimepiride, can help maintain optimal dosages in patients.
- A study involving 106 type 2 diabetes patients used a validated LC-MS/MS method to measure drug levels and examined the relationship between drug concentration and genetic mutations, particularly focusing on the SULT1A1 genotype.
- Findings indicated a potential correlation between metformin levels and genetic factors, suggesting that tailored (genotype-guided) drug therapy could enhance treatment effectiveness and reduce adverse effects.
This systematic review and meta-analysis assesses the effectiveness of no or low-dose versus high-dose aspirin on the incidence of coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs), intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) resistance, hospital stay length, and fever duration during the acute phase of Kawasaki disease. Our review adheres to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews guidelines. The PubMed and Google Scholar databases were comprehensively searched to identify relevant studies in the literature, including observational studies and randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
