Unlabelled: Drug-induced liver injury might be responsible for 1 of 600 to 3500 of all hospital admissions. About 2-3% of all drug adverse effects may be connected with the liver. There could be pure injury of heaptic cells or impairment of hepatocellular bile secretion. In our case there was cholestatic liver injury after the use of thiamazole with the complete regression after the discontinuation of the drug. For two years' the patient was treated with methyltiouracyl without any side effects. After 19 years, because of thyreotoxicosis, the methimazole was used. The acute cholestatic liver injury with the high serum bilirubin level (41.4 mg/dl) was observed. Despite the discontinuation of the drug the patient was deceased.
Conclusions: There are possible cross reactions among imidazolines in patients who are predispose to develop drug-induced liver failure. The doctors should pay much more attention to possible drug side effects.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most prevalent form of primary liver cancer, notoriously refractory to conventional chemotherapy. Historically, sulfane sulfur-based compounds have been explored for the treatment of HCC, but their efficacy has been underwhelming. We recently reported a novel sulfane sulfur donor, PSCP, which exhibited improved chemical stability and structural malleability.

Vasoplegia is a pathophysiologic state of hypotension in the setting of normal or high cardiac output and low systemic vascular resistance despite euvolemia and high-dose vasoconstrictors. Vasoplegia in heart, lung, or liver transplantation is of particular interest because it is common (approximately 29%, 28%, and 11%, respectively), is associated with adverse outcomes, and because the agents used to treat vasoplegia can affect immunosuppressive and other drug metabolism. This narrative review discusses the pathophysiology, risk factors, and treatment of vasoplegia in patients undergoing heart, lung, and liver transplantation.

Ginkgolic acids (GAs) are distinctive secondary metabolites of () primarily found in its leaves and seeds, with the highest concentration located in the exotesta. GAs are classified as long-chain phenolic compounds, and exhibit structural similarities to lignoceric acid. Their structural diversity arises from variations in the length of side chains and their number of double bonds, resulting in six distinct forms within extracts (GBE).

We describe a case of sarcoidosis in a previously healthy 39-year-old man with the development of an acute kidney injury, requiring renal replacement therapy, as the first manifestation of the disease. The course of the disease was complicated by a сatheter-associated bloodstream infection. According to the histological examination of kidney biopsy samples, granulomatous interstitial nephritis was diagnosed.
