Preliminary guidelines for the detection and management of drug-related problems in cancer patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a practical resource for oncology pharmacists.

Purpose: The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in cancer patients is high. During the medication review process, clinical pharmacists could detect and manage drug-related problems (DRP) to optimize pharmacotherapy but there is a need to standardize pharmacists' interventions (PI) especially for T2DM-related DRP. The present study aims to describe DRP in cancer patients with T2DM undergoing anticancer treatment (AT) and to propose related preliminary guidelines to manage T2DM-related DRP.

Frailty and 6-month trajectory of elderly trauma patients over the age of 65 years admitted to intensive care unit for severe trauma: experience of a level 1 trauma center.

Background: The aging global population forecasts a significant rise in severe trauma cases among individuals aged 65 and above. Frailty emerges as a paramount predictor of post-traumatic outcomes, surpassing age and trauma severity indices. Despite this, scant attention is given to the trajectory of elderly patients post-intensive care unit (ICU) stay following severe trauma, justifying this study.

Urate lowering therapy in patients starting hemodialysis limit gout flares occurrence: ten years retrospective study.

Background: Uncontrolled gout can cause articular impairment but is also associated with a global and cardiovascular excess mortality, especially in dialysis population. Data documented within existing research is not conclusive regarding gout flares evolution during hemodialysis and their control by urate lowering therapy (ULT). Without clear guidelines concerning hemodialysis patients management with chronic gout, this study proposes to investigate whether gout flare incidence reduction could be observed on this population treated by urate lowering therapy versus patients without treatment.
