Prescription Patterns of Inducers and Inhibitors of Cytochrome P450 and Their Potential Drug Interactions in the Real World: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Introduction: Both the induction and inhibition of cytochrome P450 are associated with multiple pharmacological interactions, which can lead to loss of efficacy or increase the risk of adverse drug reactions.

Objective: The aim was to determine the prescription patterns of cytochrome P450-inducing and -inhibiting drugs and their contraindicated and major pharmacological interactions in a group of patients from Colombia.

Methods: This cross-sectional observational study included patients who received drugs that induce or inhibit metabolism and examined their contraindicated and major pharmacological interactions.

Follow-up study of a cohort of patients with skin infections who were treated in the Colombian Health System.

Autoimmune Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies: Pharmacological Differences and Similarities by Type of Myositis and by Sociodemographic Variables.

Objective: Autoimmune idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) are a group of pathologies that are generally characterized by muscle weakness. Their treatment involves glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants. The aim was to identify differences and similarities in the pharmacological management of a group of patients with autoimmune IIMs according to the type of disease, sex, age group, and city of residence in Colombia from 2020 to 2021.

The aim as to determine the differences and similarities in the hospital pharmacological management of patients with COVID-19 according to sex, age group, and geographical region of Colombia, 2020-2021.

Treatment regimens used in the management of Helicobacter pylori in Colombia.

Background: Helicobacter pylori infection can cause gastritis, gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, and gastric cancer. Its treatment involves different medications, but resistance to these treatments is increasing. It is currently considered a public health problem.

Molecular and serological prevalence of Coronavirus in Chiropterans: A systematic review with meta-analysis.

In recent years, and now especially with the arrival of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), there has been increased interest in understanding the role of bats in the dynamics of transmission and origin of this pandemic agent. To date, no systematic reviews have been published on this topic. This systematic review aimed to summarize and highlight the frequency of bat infections reported in currently available observational studies for coronavirus.
