Exploring Risk Factors for Adverse Reactions in Children with an Acute Psychotic Episode Using the Global Trigger Tool: Does Age Matter?

To establish significant risk factors for the development of adverse drug effects (ADEs) in children and adolescents with an acute psychotic episode taking antipsychotics. The research team randomly selected 15 patient records each month for 3 years (2016-2018). Overall, 450 patient records were included (223 boys and 227 girls, mean age was 14.

Genetic markers associated with adverse reactions of radioiodine therapy in thyroid cancer patients.

Objectives: Radioactive iodine therapy is considered for patients with certain clinicopathological factors that predict a significant risk of recurrence, distant metastases of thyroid cancer or disease-specific mortality. The aim of the study was to investigate the association between polymorphisms of genes, products of which are involved in the processes of DNA damage response and autophagy, and the adverse reactions of radioiodine therapy in thyroid cancer patients.

Methods: The study included 181 patients (37 men, 144 women; median age 56 [41; 66.

Effect of , polymorphisms on the safety of treatment with timolol maleate in patients with glaucoma.

Objectives: Timolol maleate is used for the treatment of glaucoma and metabolized by cytochrome CYP2D6 in the liver. The aim of this study was the evaluation of the influence of and gene polymorphisms on the safety of medications containing 0.5% of timolol maleate as glaucoma treatment in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).

CYP2D6 phenotype and ABCB1 haplotypes are associated with antipsychotic safety in adolescents experiencing acute psychotic episodes.

Objectives: To identify possible associations of , and gene polymorphisms with the efficacy and safety of antipsychotics in adolescents with acute psychotic episodes.

Methods: We examined the associations of pharmacogenetic factors with the efficacy and safety of antipsychotics in 101 adolescents with acute psychotic episodes. The diagnosis on admission was "Brief psychotic disorder" (F23.

Pharmacogenetics of antipsychotics in adolescents with acute psychotic episode during first 14 days after admission: effectiveness and safety evaluation.

Objectives: Prediction of the antipsychotic's effectiveness is a relevant topic in the field of personalized medicine.

Methods: The research design of this study is a prospective observation with posthoc analysis of associations of genetic polymorphisms with safety parameters and effectiveness of antipsychotic therapy. We observed 53 adolescents with an acute psychotic episode which were prescribed antipsychotics for 14 days.

Pain pharmacogenetics.

Pain is a significant problem in medicine. The use of PGx markers to personalize postoperative analgesia can increase its effectiveness and avoid undesirable reactions. This article describes the mechanisms of nociception and antinociception and shows the pathophysiological mechanisms of pain in the human body.

Pharmacogenetic testing by polymorphic markers 681G>A and 636G>A CYP2C19 gene in patients with acute coronary syndrome and gastric ulcer in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).

Background: The focus of the study is to determine the prevalence of CYP2C19 alleles, associated with the risk of changes in the pharmacological response to clopidogrel and proton pump inhibitors in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and gastric ulcer from Russian and Yakut ethnic groups.

Methods: The research included 411 patients with ACS (143 Russians and 268 Yakuts) and 204 patients with histologically confirmed gastric ulcer (63 Russians and 141 Yakuts). Genotyping of 681G>A and 636G>A polymorphisms was performed by using polymerase real-time chain reaction.

Which cytochrome P450 metabolizes phenazepam? Step by step in silico, in vitro, and in vivo studies.

Background: Phenazepam (bromdihydrochlorphenylbenzodiazepine) is the original Russian benzodiazepine tranquilizer belonging to 1,4-benzodiazepines. There is still limited knowledge about phenazepam's metabolic liver pathways and other pharmacokinetic features.

Methods: To determine phenazepam's metabolic pathways, the study was divided into three stages: in silico modeling, in vitro experiment (cell culture study), and in vivo confirmation.

Role of nitric oxide and related molecules in schizophrenia pathogenesis: biochemical, genetic and clinical aspects.

Currently, schizophrenia is considered a multifactorial disease. Over the past 50 years, many investigators have considered the role of toxic free radicals in the etiology of schizophrenia. This is an area of active research which is still evolving.
