Background: Oral inhaler medications (OIMs) are widely used for many respiratory diseases. Although OIMs have minimal systemic effects, they may cause potential drug-drug interactions (pDDIs).Objectives: This study aims to evaluate drug interactions in patients using OIMs.

This is particularly significant in the realm of cancer chemotherapeutics, where stability and compatibility studies play a vital role in ensuring rational and safe medicine administration. Oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and irinotecan, commonly used in various combinations for gastrointestinal cancers, are complemented by co-administration of folinic acid in certain protocols.

Purpose: To investigate whether diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) or early phase kinetics of DCE-MRI is practical to discriminate breast masses that depict type 2 curve in DCE-MRI.
Material And Methods: We retrospectively included 107 lesions in 97 patients with type 2 curves in DCE-MRI.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging for clinically significant prostate cancer and to determine whether applying Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data Systems version 2.1 score could improve the diagnostic pathway besides the biochemical characteristics.
Materials And Methods: In this study, 199 patients with clinically suspected prostate cancer who underwent multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging were included.
