The aim of this study was to determine the side effects of standard antituberculosis therapy with isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide and streptomycine in patients treated for tuberculosis. One hundred eighty nine patients with proven tuberculosis, who initially received standard antituberculosis therapy, were retrospectively studied. Begaud and coll's method of side effects drugs imputability elaborated in 1999 was used in our study. Side effects related to therapy were present in 31.7% of the studied population. Gastrointestinal side effect was the most common (13.2%), isoniazid, rifampicin and pyrazinamide were often incriminated. The significant risk factors of hepatotoxicity were female gender (OR : 10.59) and concomitant hepatotoxic drugs (OR 6). Chocleovestibular toxicity was associated significantly with female gender (OR : 8.03) and diabetes mellitus (OR : 6.13). Patients aged above 50, proved to be at risk for pyrazinomide intolerance and females for streptomycine. The study did not reveal any susceptibility to isoniazid and rifadine intolerance.

Background: The common drugs used for the treatment of Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma (NDMM) include bortezomib and lenalidomide, but the adverse effects of lenalidomide cannot be ignored, especially when it is used in the initial therapy.
Methods: This retrospective study evaluated the efficacy and safety of a modified DVD regimen (pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, bortezomib, and dexamethasone) followed by lenalidomide in the treatment of NDMM. A total of 40 NDMM patients were treated with a reduced dose of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (20 mg/m) on day 1, subcutaneous bortezomib (1.
Brucellosis, caused by a facultative intracellular gram-negative coccobacillus, is one of the most common zoonotic infections worldwide. Very rarely, brucellosis can cause periprosthetic joint infections (PJI). In this case-based literature review, we summarize the current medical literature regarding Brucella PJI, with the aim to raise awareness among clinicians, particularly in non-endemic areas.

Chryseobacterium indologenes is a rare human pathogen which is nowadays considered an emerging fearsome organism because of its upcoming antibiotic resistance. We present a quite unique case of a multi drug resistant C. indologenes surgical wound infection in a patient submitted to cannulated screw fixation of a displaced medial malleolus fracture.

Heteroleptic An (An = U, Np) chlorido-ketoenaminate complexes of the type [AnCl(TFB-BuA)(THF)] ( type: , ; TFB-BuA = 4-(-butylamino)-1,1,1-trifluorobut-3-en-2-one) and the homoleptic Np heteroarylalkenolate complexes [Np(PyTFP)] (, PyTFP = 1-(pyridin-2-yl)-3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-en-2-ol) and [Np(DMOTFP)] (, DMOTFP = 1-(4,5-dimethyloxazol-2-yl)-3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-en-2-ol) were synthesized and characterized (SC-XRD, NMR, Vis-NIR, MS). While their solid-state structures compare well to those of their uranium analogues, the behavior in solution showed significant differences. The binding motif of the DMOTFP ligand in complex can change to form two different complex isomers, as seen by paramagnetic chemical shifts in NMR experiments.
