Accurate determination of plasma protein binding (PPB) is crucial in understanding the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drugs, particularly for highly bound compounds where traditional methods may fall short. In this study, we present a pioneering approach for the precise determination of PPB that takes advantage of the lipophilicity of highly bound compounds. Twenty four highly bound compounds (with a fraction unbound (f) from 10 to 10) were tested with the most commonly used method, i.

Simple, rapid screening tools are required to risk-assess patients, highlighting those requiring nutritional or other support and advising on prognosis. As such, we assessed a newly introduced tool, the hand grip strength index (HGS index), a comparison of measured to predicted HGS.

Background/objectives: Inflammation and immunological dysregulation are central to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a complex autoimmune disease. Recently, there has been increasing interest in the potential role of dietary factors in SLE. This study aimed to explore the relationship between diet and SLE by addressing patient needs, conducting a systematic review, and providing guidance to the patient community.
