This controlled prospective study included 40 children (18 boys and 22 girls) hospitalized for the treatment of acute suppurative otitis media. Mean age of the patients was 4.5 years. Their condition was evaluated after cessation of purulent discharge and closure of perforation while acoustic impedancometry still revealed the presence of exudate in the tympanum. The treatment included administration of nasal decongestants, systemic antibacterial therapy, sanation of the nasal and pharyngonasal cavities by transposition or puncture of maxillary sinuses. Some patients (study group) were given sinupret in age-adjusted doses. Signs of exudates disappeared within a mean of 4.2 days after the onset of therapy compared with 7.7 days in the control group (p<0.01). It is concluded that the inclusion of sinupret in the combined treatment of acute suppurative otitis media promotes rapid and efficacious sanation of the tympanic cavity and hearing restoration.

The management of anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy in stage V chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients undergoing renal transplantation remains controversial. Some centers advocate for the use of reversal agents or procoagulants preoperatively, while others suggest that transplantation can proceed safely without halting these treatments. This study aims to evaluate the incidence of hemorrhagic and thrombotic complications in the first 72 hours post-transplant in patients receiving anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy compared to a control group without such treatments.

Wound bacterial infections not only impede the healing process but can also give rise to a range of serious complications, thereby posing a substantial risk to human health. Developing effective wound dressings incorporating phototherapy functionalities, specifically photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT), remains a critical area of research in modern wound care. Existing PTT-PDT systems often suffer from challenges such as nanoparticle aggregation and inefficient reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, which are essential for therapeutic efficacy.

Preoperative treatment of PHPT aims to 1) manage severe and/or symptomatic hypercalcemia and 2) prevent postoperative hypocalcemia. Severe hypercalcemia, defined as a blood calcium level ≥ 3.5 mmol/L, requires admission to hospital in a conventional or critical care unit, depending on clinical symptoms and comorbidities.

The cholinergic deficits and amyloid beta (Aβ) aggregation are the mainstream simultaneously observed pathologies during the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Deposited Aβ plaques are considered to be the primary pathological hallmarks of AD and are contemplated as promising diagnostic biomarker. Herein, a series of novel theranostic agents were designed, synthesised and evaluated against cholinesterase (ChEs) enzymes and detection of Aβ species, which are major targets for development of therapeutics for AD.

Objective: To evaluate the risk of acute pancreatitis and biliary disease in patients treated with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA).
Method: Population-based, propensity-weighted, new user, active comparator design study including patients with diabetes and obesity initiating treatment with GLP-1 RA or the comparator group sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) in the region of Valencia from 2015 to 2021.
Results: In adjusted, per protocol main analysis, no risk differences were found for acute pancreatitis (HR: 0.
