- * TMEs are categorized into essential elements (like iron and zinc) necessary for bodily functions and toxic elements (like mercury and lead) that are harmful and have no physiological role, with potential for illness stemming from both categories at high concentrations.
- * Techniques like Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) enhance detection and quantification of TMEs in biological samples, aiding in the diagnosis and management of TME intoxications through a novel approach known as the metal profile.

Materials And Methods: The primary analysis was based on population control studies. Data were pooled by means of a random-effects model, and sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative likelihood ratios (LR+ and LR-), diagnostic odds ratios (DOR), and areas under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) were calculated.
Introduction: Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) are defined as two or more drugs interacting in such a manner that the effectiveness or toxicity of one or more drugs is altered. Patients with cardiovascular disorders are at higher risk for DDIs because of the types and number of drugs they receive. The aim of the present study was to assess the prevalence of DDIs in patients admitted to the cardiology department of a hospital in Morocco.
