Gabapentin (GBP), a pharmaceutical widely used for seizures and neuropathic pain, has emerged as a contaminant in global aquatic environments, raising concerns about its ecological impact. This study investigated the effects of environmentally relevant concentrations of GBP (0, 1, 10, 1000 μg/L) on visual development in zebrafish (Danio rerio). Behavioral assays showed that GBP exposure enhanced light sensitivity, as indicated by a significant increase in total travel distance (TTD) in all exposure groups compared to controls.

Serotonin syndrome (SS) is a potentially life-threatening condition that can result from excessive serotonergic activity, often due to SSRIs, formally known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. The syndrome and its effects are often secondary to drug-drug interactions or dose-related. This case highlights a 47-year-old female who presents with a history of major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and severe alcohol use disorder.

Given the low permeability of gabapentin, an antiepileptic drug, in the gastrointestinal tract as classified by the Biopharmaceutics Classification Systems (BCS), understanding the micellization behavior of SAILs is essential for developing effective drug delivery systems to improve gabapentin bioavailability. This study explores the micellization and thermophysical behavior of SAILs (2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium laurate [2-HEA][Lau], bis(2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium laurate [BHEA][Lau], and tris(2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium laurate [THEA][Lau] in the presence of aqueous gabapentin solution at varied temperatures through COSMO analysis, electrical conductivity and surface tension measurements.

Vulvodynia manifests as persistent vulvar pain, affecting both sexual well-being and overall quality of life. While the precise cause remains elusive, various multifaceted predisposing and precipitating factors have been identified. Neurobiological and psychosocial elements contribute to a better understanding of the management of this complex disorder.
