Phenytoin (pulverized powder), mefenamic acid (capsule), and sulpiride (film-coated tablet) are currently available on the Japanese market. For absorption of these drugs from their pharmaceutical preparations, they must disintegrate and dissolve during passage through the gastrointestinal tract. The bioavailability of these drugs differ among different pharmaceutical preparations and even for the same preparation. This led to a review of the influence of the features of pharmaceutical preparations and the physicochemical properties of film coating materials as well as the physiologic factors affecting drug bioavailability. The influence of coadministered drugs and concomitant intake of beverages and food on the bioavailability of drugs from pharmaceutical preparations is also described.

Purpose: We aimed to identify the risk factors for severe neutropenia in the early phase of trifluridine-tipiracil (FTD/TPI) treatment, and their impact on overall survival (OS).
Methods: This single-center retrospective study included patients with unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer who were treated with FTD/TPI. The primary endpoint was OS, and the secondary endpoint was severe neutropenia during the first and second cycles of FTD/TPI.

Purpose: Perioperative metabolic acidosis negatively affects patient outcomes. Perioperative fluid therapy has a clinically significant effect on acid-base balance. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of isotonic sodium bicarbonate infusion (ISB) versus balanced crystalloid solution (BCS) on perioperative acid-base balance, in terms of postoperative base excess, among patients undergoing emergency laparotomy for perforation peritonitis.

Purinergic signaling plays a major role in aging and neurodegenerative diseases, which are associated with memory decline. Blackcurrant (BC), an anthocyanin-rich berry, is renowned for its antioxidant and neuroprotective activities. However, evidence on the effects of BC on purinergic signaling is lacking.

Drought is a significant environmental stressor that induces changes in the physiological, morphological, biochemical, and molecular traits of plants, ultimately resulting in reduced plant growth and crop productivity. Seaweed extracts are thought to be effective in mitigating the effects of drought stress on plants. In this study, we investigated the impact of crude extract (CE), and polysaccharides (PS) derived from the brown macroalgae Fucus spiralis (Heterokontophyta, Phaeophyceae) applied at 5% (v/v) and 0.

Chronic intraoral neuropathic pain (NP), often developing post-dental procedures, poses significant management challenges. The prevalent use of systemic treatments, with their frequent substantial side effects, emphasizes the need for alternative therapeutic strategies. Our aim is to explore the efficacy and adherence with a topical drug regimen delivered through a neurosensory stent (NS) for treating chronic neuropathic pain (NP) within the oral cavity.
