Effect of Electrochemical Synthesis Parameters on the Morphology, Crystal and Chemical Structure, and Sorption Efficiency of Basic Bismuth Nitrates.

Bismuth basic nitrates (BBNs) were synthesized via an electrochemical method, i.e., by electrodeposition from an acidic solution of bismuth nitrate, followed by thermal treatment in an air environment.

Pharmacokinetics and Target Attainment of Teicoplanin: A Systematic Review.

Background And Objective: Teicoplanin is a glycopeptide antibiotic used to treat severe Gram-positive infections. This systematic review provides a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge on the pharmacokinetics of teicoplanin across the entire population, with the aim to identify gaps in the existing literature, prioritise pharmacokinetic research, and support optimal dosing strategies.

Methods: A systematic literature search of the MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus databases was conducted.

Quality of prescribing and health-related quality of life in older adults: a narrative review with a special focus on patients with atrial fibrillation and multimorbidity.

Purpose: To summarise the association between potentially inappropriate prescribing (PIP) and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in older adults, with a special focus on those with atrial fibrillation (AF) and multimorbidity, while exploring potential interventions to improve prescribing quality and their impact on HRQOL.

Methods: A comprehensive search strategy was conducted in MEDLINE using the PubMed interface on August 16th, 2024, focusing on key terms related to "potentially inappropriate prescribing" and "quality of life". Additionally, the reference lists of included studies were screened.

Long-term clinical impact of angiographic complexity in left main trifurcation percutaneous coronary interventions.

Background: Current evidence on the long-term outcome and its determinants in patients with unprotected left main trifurcation (LMT) treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is based on small-sized studies. We aimed to assess the clinical, anatomical and procedural factors impacting long-term clinical outcomes of patients with LMT treated by PCI.

Methods: We conducted a multicenter retrospective study on consecutive patients with unprotected LMT in stable or acute coronary settings who underwent PCI with drug-eluting-stent implantation.

Relationship Between Noninvasive Doppler-Derived Coronary Flow Reserve Measured by Transthoracic Echocardiography and Angiography Thermodilution-Measured Coronary Flow Reserve and the Index of Microcirculatory Resistance in Patients with Non-Obstructive Coronary Arteries.

: Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is emerging as a critical factor in patients presenting with anginal symptoms without obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). This study aims to investigate the relationship between invasive measurements of coronary flow reserve (CFR) and the index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) using thermodilution techniques, compared to non-invasive assessments of CFR with transthoracic Doppler echocardiography (TDE). : In this observational prospective cross-sectional study, a total of 49 patients, clinically characterized as having angina with no obstructive CAD (ANOCA) or ischemia with no obstructive CAD (INOCA), underwent both TDE and invasive coronary angiography (ICA) followed by thermodilution assessment of CFR and IMR.
