Introduction: The use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may lead to stricture of the small intestine and less frequently of the colon. Colonic strictures have not been described in patients on dialysis and the aim of this report is to show the case of dialysis patient who was followed for recurrent and prolonged diarrhea.

Case Report: We present the patient on chronic dialysis for 15 years who used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs due to chronic pain and who developed recurrent diarrhea. Diagnosis was made by endoscopy and confirmed by histology. Specific therapy was applied with a good response.

Conclusion: Although not described in the literature, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug-induced colitis and/or diaphragm disease could be a potential reason for recurrent or prolonged diarrhea in dialysis patients.

Genomic reorganisation between species and horizontal gene transfer have been considered the most important mechanism of biological adaptation under selective pressure. Still, the impact of mobile genes in microbial ecology is far from being completely understood. Here we present the collection and characterisation of microbial consortia enriched from environments contaminated with emerging pollutants, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

: The proton-coupled amino acid transporter (PAT1) is an intestinal absorptive solute carrier responsible for the oral bioavailability of some GABA-mimetic drug substances such as vigabatrin and gaboxadol. In the present work, we investigate if non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug substances (NSAIDs) interact with substrate transport via human (h)PAT1. : The transport of substrates via hPAT1 was investigated in Caco-2 cells using radiolabeled substrate uptake and in oocytes injected with , measuring induced currents using the two-electrode voltage clamp technique.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) or eczema is an important inflammatory chronic skin disease that brings many complications in its management and treatment. Although several chemical agents are used for treatment, the search for better anti-inflammatory and antibacterial agents of plant origin has been ongoing, since natural compounds, it is commonly believed, are less dangerous than synthetic ones. Therefore, the present study explored a medicinal plant- (L.

A comprehensive pharmacovigilance surveillance on antibacterials is lacking. This study aims to investigate safety signals of antibacterial-related adverse drug events (ADEs) with seriousness and to identify predictors of serious ADEs. This study investigated 52,503 antibacterial-induced ADEs reported to the Korea Adverse Event Reporting System Database from January 2013 to December 2022.
