Comparing visual inspection methods for parenteral products in hospital pharmacy: between reliability, cost, and operator formation considerations.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to unforeseen and novel manifestations, as illustrated by the management of drug shortages through the development of hospital production of sterile pharmaceutical preparations (P2S). Visual inspection of P2S is a release control whose methods are described in monographs of the European Pharmacopoeia (2.9.

Soothing Effect of Extract (Patchouli), via Cannabinoid Receptor 2 Modulation in Human Skin.

Skin functions as a neuro-immuno-endocrine tissue with well-defined neuronal networks and functions. The endocannabinoid system has been proven to be an important, homeostatic regulator for homeostatic and inflammatory events. The system comprises endogenous or exogenous ligands and receptors (CB1 and CB2).

Socioeconomic burden and quality of life in meningioma patients.

Purpose: Long-term impairment of quality of life (QoL) occurs in a subset of meningioma patients, even after curative surgical resection. We sought to explore socioeconomic burden of meningioma surgery and associations with post-operative QoL to identify patients at risk for inferior outcome.

Methods: All patients with histological diagnosis of an intracranial meningioma treated at a single institution 2000-2013 were screened for inclusion in this cross-sectional survey study.

Post-operative cardiovascular complications and time to recurrence in meningioma patients treated with versus without pre-operative embolization: a retrospective cohort study of 741 patients.

Purpose: Preoperative embolization of radiographically suspected meningiomas is often performed to facilitate tumor resection. Its effects on the subsequent disease course of meningioma patients have not been studied in detail and randomized trials are lacking. The purpose of this study was to explore associations of preoperative meningioma embolization with postoperative outcome.

Predicting outcome of epilepsy after meningioma resection.

Background: Surgical excision is the standard treatment for intracranial meningiomas. Epilepsy is a major cause of morbidity in meningioma patients, but postoperative control of epilepsy is not achieved in a substantial fraction of patients. The purpose of this study was to define risk factors for postoperative epilepsy.
