Teicoplanin in peritoneal dialysis: efficacy, safety, and pharmacological considerations.

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a vital treatment modality for renal failure patients, facilitating the removal of excess fluid and unwanted substances. However, peritonitis, a significant complication experienced by PD patients, necessitates careful selection of antibiotics to ensure successful treatment. Commonly used antibiotics in PD patients, such as cephalosporins and glycopeptides like vancomycin, have been associated with undesirable side effects and high failure rates.

Association of TNFSF11 rs2200287 and TNFSF11 rs2148072 gene polymorphisms in preeclampsia.

Background: Various cytokines released by white blood cells like lymphocytes are linked to the immune system during pregnancy. The polymorphism of the TNFSF11 (rs2200287 and rs2148072) gene is related to the preeclampsia of pregnancy.

Materials And Methods: This study was a prospective study involving 304 pregnant women with preeclampsia (n = 152) and controls (non-preeclamptic pregnant women) (n = 152).
