Background: Ectopic pregnancies represent a potentially life-threatening medical emergency, with 95% being tubal. This meta-analysis aimed to identify early predictors for single-dose methotrexate (MTX) treatment failure in tubal pregnancies.

Methods: A literature search was conducted across several databases from their inception to December 2023, with references in the selected studies manually reviewed.

Methotrexate-associated lymphoproliferative disorder (MTX-LPD) constitutes a subset of lymphoid proliferations and lymphomas that are associated with immune deficiency and dysregulation. The clinical management of MTX-LPDs is contingent on their histopathological subtypes. Polatuzumab vedotin is a novel therapeutic approach that is particularly beneficial for selecting patients with previously untreated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL); however, DLBCL-type MTX-LPD is still treated with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) because of the exclusion of MTX-LPD from clinical trials.

Methotrexate injections intralesionally as a treatment for psoriatic nails proved to be effective in large-scale studies as well as individual case reports, but the process is painful and time-consuming. The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of combined fractional CO2 laser (Fr. CO2) 10,600 nm and methotrexate gel versus methotrexate 1% gel alone in treatment of nail psoriasis.

The therapeutical applicability of the anticancer drug phototrexate, a photoswitchable derivative of the antimetabolite dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor methotrexate, highly depends on the stability of its bioactive isomer. Considering that only the configuration of phototrexate is bioactive, in this work, the effect of the molecular environment on the stability of the isomer of this drug has been investigated. UV-vis absorption and fluorescence-based solvent relaxation methods have been used.
