Recently, a new class of nitric-oxide-releasing non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NO-NSAIDs) is being studied as 'Safe NSAIDs' because of their gastric-sparing properties. As an extension of our novel disulfide linker technology, we have designed, synthesized and evaluated novel NO-releasing NSAID prodrugs such as NO-Aspirin (1b-d) and NO-Diclofenac (2b-c). Although the amide-containing derivative 1d did not show any bioavailability, the remaining compounds have shown fair to excellent pharmacokinetic, anti-inflammatory and gastric-sparing properties. Among them, however, the NO-Diclofenac (2b) has shown the most promising pharmacokinetic, anti-inflammatory and NO-releasing properties and protected rats from NSAID-induced gastric damage which could be attributable to the beneficial effects of NO released from these prodrugs.

Is perioperative use of a combination of pregabalin and naproxen superior to naproxen only in reducing pain in ankle fractures? A prospective, randomized, multicenter study.
J Orthop Surg Res
December 2024
Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, 03722, Korea.
Purpose: To compare the analgesic efficacy, adverse effects, and long-term functional outcomes of perioperative naproxen alone versus naproxen with pregabalin for treating pain in ankle fractures.
Methods: This study included 70 patients who underwent operative fixation of rotatory ankle fractures. Group A received naproxen 500 mg only, and Group B received naproxen 500 mg with pregabalin 75 mg 2-hour before surgery and 12 hourly for 14 days thereafter.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are recommended to treat moderate-to-severe pain. Previous studies suggest that NSAIDs can suppress cellular proliferation and elevate apoptosis in different cancer cells. Ketorolac is an NSAID and can reduce the cancer cells' viability.

Department of Basic Science College of Medicine, Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Article Synopsis
- Hemorrhagic cholecystitis is a rare but serious condition that can occur if the gallbladder bursts, necessitating urgent medical intervention.
- A 27-year-old man with Glanzmann's thrombasthenia visited the emergency department multiple times, initially presenting with ear and later chest pain, before being misdiagnosed and sent home.
- Upon returning with abdominal symptoms, an ultrasound confirmed cholecystitis, leading to an emergency surgery that uncovered the hemorrhagic cholecystitis diagnosis.
Prevalence of fungal colonization among patients with psoriasis in difficult-to-treat areas: impact of apremilast on mycotic burden and clinical outcomes.
Front Immunol

Department of Experimental Medicine, University of Rome "Tor Vergata", Rome, Italy.
Introduction: Fungi, including , may be a trigger or exacerbate psoriasis, especially in difficult to treat (DTT) areas, through the activation of IL-17/23 axis.
Methods: In this study, seventy patients with DDT psoriasis were enrolled to evaluate species and/or other opportunistic fungi colonization rate at baseline (T0) and the impact of apremilast on fungal load, clinical outcome, serum cytokine levels and biochemical serum profile of patients after 16, 24 and 52 weeks of treatment.
Results: In our population, 33 (47%) patients were colonized by spp.
A bipartite medial cuneiform bone: a rare variant with symptomatic presentation and the classic "E-sign".
Surg Radiol Anat

Department of Anatomy, School of Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, 75 Mikras Asias street, Goudi, 11527, Athens, Greece.
Background: Bipartite medial cuneiform bone (BMC) is located at the Lisfranc joint of the midfoot, and it represents a rare variant involving two separate ossification centers in the medial cuneiform bone. Although BMC is typically asymptomatic, it can become clinically relevant under conditions of trauma or chronic stress, affecting foot stability.
Case Report: The current imaging report describes a 48-year-old female presenting with chronic dorsal midfoot pain, worsened by extended standing and ambulation.
