Article Synopsis
- DRESS syndrome is a serious drug reaction characterized by severe skin rashes and multi-organ involvement, often overlooked due to its vague symptoms and delayed onset.
- A case study highlighted a patient with initial gastrointestinal symptoms that were misdiagnosed, but later developed a significant skin rash linked to sulfasalazine treatment for ulcerative colitis.
- The report underscores the importance of recognizing potential drug hypersensitivity when patients present with skin changes and blood abnormalities, as timely diagnosis is crucial.
Purpose Of Review: The landscape of myelofibrosis (MF) has changed since the discovery of the JAK2 V617F mutation and subsequent development of JAK inhibitors (JAKis). However, treatment with JAKis remain a challenge. In this review we critically analyze the strengths and limitations of currently available JAK inhibitors.

By engaging with health service providers, the community's participation in adherence to preventive measures is certainly required in the implementation of COVID-19 mitigation strategies. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the level of adherence to COVID-19 preventive measures and its associated factors among the residents, Yangon Region, Myanmar.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: To evaluate the type and prevalence of incidental findings from cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) of the maxillofacial region. Findings are divided into those that require (i) intervention/referral, (ii) monitoring, and (iii) no further evaluation.
Methods: Three hundred consecutive CBCT scans conducted in the University of North Carolina School of Dentistry Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology Clinic from January 1 to August 31, 2008 were retrospectively reviewed.
Article Synopsis
- This study examines how surfactants and drug loading influence the release rate of nystatin from ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer.
- The researchers tested the release rates using non-ionic surfactants Tween 60 and Cremophor RH 40 while varying drug concentrations of nystatin, chlorhexidine diacetate, and acyclovir.
- Results showed that surfactants increased the release rates of nystatin significantly, particularly when concentrations of the surfactants and drug loads were increased, indicating enhanced drug delivery capabilities of EVA copolymer.
