The higher prevalence of cancer and the unmet need for antioxidant/anti-inflammatory chemotherapeutic compounds with little side effect are of utmost importance. In addition, the increased likelihood of failure in clinical trials along with increasing development costs may have diminished the range of choices among newer drugs for clinical use. This has dictated the necessity to seek out novel medications by repurposing as it needs less time, effort, and resources to explore new uses of a current or unsuccessful medication.

Background: Although furosemide is used during cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor therapy for patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), there are concerns regarding increased ductal closure failure and acute renal failure (ARF). This systematic review explores the effects of furosemide during COX inhibitor therapy.
Methods: We searched MEDLINE, Embase, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Igaku Chuo Zasshi databases for randomized clinical trials that assessed furosemide during COX inhibitor therapy for PDA in preterm infants.

Recently, augmenting the pulsation of the internal cerebral vein (ICV) has been reported to be a predictor of premature intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH); however, prophylaxis for IVH has not yet been established. Venous pulsation is a marker of central venous pressure elevation and may be improved after heart failure treatment. Herein, we report two cases of low-birth-weight infants (29 weeks and 31 weeks of gestational age), who exhibited improvements in ICV pulsation with relief of hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (hs-PDA) following indomethacin administration.
