Article Synopsis
  • Allergic reactions and angioedema are significant conditions in emergency care, affecting patient management.
  • A study evaluated maximum lysis (ML) using thromboelastometry in patients with immunologic reactions, measuring ML at admission and two hours later.
  • Results showed that patients still experiencing symptoms after two hours had higher ML than those who were asymptomatic, indicating a potential link between symptom persistence and changes in ML.

Sacubitril/valsartan, a first-in-class angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor, is widely used to treat heart failure. Despite its efficacy, sacubitril/valsartan inevitably causes adverse events such as hypotension, renal dysfunction, hyperkalemia, and angioedema. Sacubitril/valsartan-associated ototoxicity is often underreported in clinical studies and real-world settings.

Excipient induced allergies in oral medications: unravelling the covert threat - a systematic review.

Intern Med J

December 2024

Sydney School of Pharmacy, Faculty of Medicine and Health, The University of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

Excipients have been identified as 'inert' substances that often enhance the non-pharmacological aspects of a medication. However, recent clinical evidence elucidates their potential in inducing anaphylaxis and indicates that they are often overlooked as potential allergens in routine clinical practice. The aim of the study was to assimilate published evidence on excipient-induced allergies associated with the use of oral medications and to underline their potential as potent allergens.

Background: Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is clinically characterized by recurrent attacks of cutaneous and submucosal swelling.

Objective: To investigate real-world timing, potential barriers, and impact of delaying on-demand treatment (OD) of HAE attacks METHODS: Patients with HAE (type I or II) aged ≥12 years with ≥1 treated (Treated Cohort) or untreated (Untreated Cohort) attack in the past 3 months were recruited by the US HAE Association. Respondents completed a 20-minute, self-reported, online survey about their last HAE attack.

Chronic urticaria is a persistent skin condition characterized by recurrent wheals (hives) and/or angioedema lasting more than six weeks, significantly impacting quality of life and often requiring long-term management. Limited access to costly treatments like omalizumab poses challenges in low-income countries with high healthcare expenses and limited insurance coverage, prompting research into cost-effective dosages for effective management. This study aims to find the most cost-effective dosage for treating chronic urticaria in countries with healthcare affordability challenges.
