Insomnia patients have a poor intestinal prognosis: Accompanied by microbiota-derived short chain fatty acids, diet and zonulin.

Background: It is becoming increasingly clear that the relationship between sleep disturbance and gut microbiota metabolites is of great importance.

Aims: This study aimed to examine the changes in microbiota metabolites, brain-derived neurotrophic factors and synaptic proteins in insomnia patients, with a particular focus on the impact of diet.

Methods: A total of 41 patients with insomnia and 45 healthy individuals participated in the study.

A Novel Method for Development and Validation of the Degradation Products Analysis of N-Carbamylglutamate with UHPLC by Using Design of Experiment Approach.

Carglumic acid, also known as N-carbamyl-l-glutamic acid, is a medication used in the treatment of a rare genetic disorder called N-acetylglutamate synthase (NAGS) deficiency. To the authors' knowledge, there was no method reported in the literature for the determination of degradation products suitable for quality control analyses of carglumic acid. Thus, the aim of the presented study is to develop an impurity method with a UHPLC/DAD detector configuration compatible with industrial standards from the European Pharmacopeia and the United States Pharmacopeia, making the drug more accessible for developing and underdeveloped countries through its precise evaluation.

The Relationship between Serum TWEAK Levels and Carotid Intima-media Thickness in Patients with Fabry Disease.

Fabry disease (FD) is associated with inflammation, proteinuria, and chronic kidney disease. Tumor necrosis factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK) plays an important role in inflammation in diabetic nephropathy and lupus nephritis. Since there is a close relationship linking serum TWEAK (sTWEAK), inflammation, and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) in various kidney diseases, we aimed to determine the relationship between sTWEAK levels and CIMT in subjects with and without proteinuria in a cross-sectional study involving 15 FD patients (seven females, eight males) and seven healthy controls (four females, three males).

Evaluation of subclinical atherosclerosis in obese patients with three noninvasive methods: Arterial stiffness, carotid intima-media thickness, and biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to evaluate subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with obesity who had cardiovascular disease risk indicators such as arterial stiffness, which is evaluated using pulse wave velocity (PWV), carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), and biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction such as endocan, ADAMTS97, and ADAMTS9.

Subjects And Methods: Sixty obese subjects, including 23 subjects with body mass index (BMI) ≥ 40, 37 subjects with BMI ≥ 30 but < 40, and 60 age-and sex-matched control subjects, were included in our study. Serum endocan, ADAMTS97, and ADAMTS9 levels as well as PWV and CIMT measurements of the subjects in the obese and control groups were performed.

The Bioequivalence Study of Two Dexketoprofen 25 mg Film-Coated Tablet Formulations in Healthy Males Under Fasting Conditions.

Objectives: Dexketoprofen is a non-steroidal analgesic/anti-inflammatory drug and its trometamol salt is extensively preferred in mild or moderate pain due to its rapid onset of relief. A new formulation of 36.9 mg of dexketoprofen trometamol (equivalent to 25 mg dexketoprofen) tablet has been developed and its bioequivalence to the reference product was proven.
