The consequences of antiarrhythmic drug formulation substitution were assessed by survey of 130 experts on arrhythmias. Fifty-four arrhythmia recurrences, 7 proarrhythmic events, and 3 deaths resulting from generic substitution are reported, thus raising serious concerns about both antiarrhythmic drug substitution and the adequacy of the generic drug approval process.

Purpose: To evaluate the economic impact of the following initial treatment scenarios for glaucoma on the Brazilian Public Health System (SUS): (1) traditional continuous instillation of hypotensive eye drops and (2) single session of selective laser trabeculoplasty.
Methods: Economic impact was analyzed in three scenarios, from the least to the most conservative, for a hypothetical cohort of 5,000 individuals with open-angle glaucoma. Thereafter, projections were made on the basis of a glaucoma prevalence of 3% in the 2021 Brazilian population size.

İnsanlığın karşı karşıya kaldığı en önemli halk sağlığı sorunlarından biri olan ilaç direnci, antilayşmanyal ajan geliştirmede yeni stratejileri ve yaklaşımları zorunlu kılmaktadır. Dışa atım pompa inhibitörleri (DAPİ) ve diğer aday ajanlar ile ilgili gelişmeler umut verici olmakla birlikte, mevcut antilayşmanyallerin kullanım sürelerini ve etkinliklerini artırabilme arayışları da devam etmektedir. Bu çalışmada rezerpin (REZ), berberin (BER) ve verapamil (VER) olmak üzere üç adet DAPİ'nin antilayşmanyallere etkisinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır.

Objectives: Ischemia/reperfusion (IR)-induced ventricular arrhythmia, which mainly occurs after the opening of coronary artery occlusion, poses a clinical problem. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of pretreatment with coenzyme Q (CoQ) in combination with mitochondrial transplantation on IR-induced ventricular arrhythmias in aged rats.
Materials And Methods: Myocardial IR induction was performed by left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion for 30 min, followed by re-opening for 24 hr.

RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) plays diverse roles in RNA metabolism and its deregulation contributes to tumor initiation and progression. Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is characterized by near ubiquitous loss of followed by mutations in epigenetic regulators , , and . Mutations in , a histone H3 lysine 36 trimethylase (H3K36me3), are associated with reduced survival, greater metastatic propensity, and metabolic reprogramming.

Activation of CD8+ T cells necessitates rapid metabolic reprogramming to fulfill the substantial biosynthetic demands of effector functions. However, the posttranscriptional mechanisms underpinning this process remain obscure. The transfer RNA (tRNA) N1-methyladenine (m1A) modification, essential for tRNA stability and protein translation, has an undefined physiological function in CD8+ T cells, particularly in antitumor responses.
