Toxicity profiling is an integral part of the drug discovery pipeline. The 3Rs principle-Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement, is considered a golden rule in determining the most appropriate approach for toxicity studies. The acute toxicity study with proper estimate of median lethal dose (LD) is usually an initial procedure for the determination of most suitable test doses for preclinical toxicological and pharmacological profiling.

Design: Retrospective cohort analysis using routinely collected data.
Setting: Public sector HCV treatment programmes in India (Punjab), Indonesia, Myanmar, Nigeria (Nasarawa) and Vietnam.
A reliable estimate of antifungal susceptibility in candidemia patients is increasingly important to track the spread of bloodstream infections and define the true burden of the ongoing antifungal resistance. A systematic review and meta-analysis (SRMA) were conducted aiming to estimate the global prevalence and identify patterns of antifungal resistance. A systematic literature search of the PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar electronic databases was conducted on published studies that employed antifungal susceptibility testing (AFST) on clinical isolates globally.
