Background: Analysis of blood samples may identify adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and risk situations. The study objective was to validate a method for in-hospital detection of ADRs based on screening of blood samples.
Material And Methods: Routine blood samples from patients in a geriatric ward were screened according to simple decision criteria to identify ADRs. The method was compared to intensive clinical monitoring of ADRs.
Results: 61 ADRs were identified in 33 patients; 11 ADRs per 1,000 bed days by the screening method (14 totally) and 37 ADRs per 1,000 bed days by intensive monitoring. The positive predictive value for the screening method was 0.29 (95% CI (0.18-0.43).
Conclusion: The screening method identified ADRs characterized by pathological laboratory values. The method should be further tested with modified decision criteria when electronic patient records, including electronic drug prescription, become routine practice in the hospital.

Transcriptomic Profiles in Nasal Epithelium and Asthma Endotypes in Youth.
JAMA
January 2025
Division of Pediatric Pulmonary Medicine, UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Importance: T helper 2 (T2) cells and T helper 17 (T17) cells are CD4+ T cell subtypes involved in asthma. Characterizing asthma endotypes based on these cell types in diverse groups is important for developing effective therapies for youths with asthma.
Objective: To identify asthma endotypes in school-aged youths aged 6 to 20 years by examining the distribution and characteristics of transcriptomic profiles in nasal epithelium.
Outcomes of Importance to Patients Living With Cutaneous Chronic Graft-vs-Host Disease.
JAMA Dermatol
January 2025
Department of Dermatology, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.
Importance: Cutaneous chronic graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) is independently associated with morbidity and mortality after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant. However, the health-related quality-of-life (HRQOL) domains that are most important to patients are poorly understood.
Objective: To perform a concept elicitation study to define HRQOL in cutaneous chronic GVHD from the patient perspective and to compare experiences of patients with epidermal vs sclerotic disease.
Effect of different intensity aerobic exercise on remodeling immune microenvironment of adipose tissue in obesity mouse.
Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol
January 2025
College of Sport and Health, Shandong Sport University, Jinan, Shandong, 250102, China.
Obesity can change the immune microenvironment of adipose tissue and induce inflammation. This study is dedicated to exploring the internal mechanism by which different intensities of exercise reprogram the immune microenvironment of epididymal adipose tissue in nutritionally obese mice. C57BL/6J male obese mouse models were constructed by high-fat diet, which were respectively obese control group (OC), moderate intensity continuous exercise group (HF-M), high intensity continuous exercise group (HF-H) and high intensity intermittent exercise group (HF-T).

Objective: Although sexual minority men experience substantial discrimination, in addition to increased risk for several serious mental and somatic health problems, the biological mechanisms underlying these effects are unclear. To address this issue, we examined how experiences of social safety (i.e.

January 2025
Department of Anaesthesia and Perioperative Medicine, The Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, Brisbane, Australia.
Introduction: Evidence to support intra-operative lidocaine infusion regimens in patients with obesity is lacking, risking underdosing or toxicity. We aimed to measure the plasma concentrations of lidocaine and its active metabolites to develop a pharmacokinetic model and optimised dosing regimen in patients with obesity.
Methods: A standardised weight-based intravenous lidocaine regimen was administered to patients with a BMI ≥ 30 kg.
