Background/objectives: Falls and fractures are emerging as a near-pandemic and major global health concern, placing an enormous burden on ageing patients and public health economies. Despite the high risk of polypharmacy in the elderly patients, falls are usually attributed to age-related changes. For the "Individual Pharmacotherapy Management (IPM)" established at the University Hospital Halle, the IPM medication adjustments and their association with in-hospital fall prevention were analysed.

Breast cancer (BC) is yet a significant global health challenge across various populations including Ghana, though several studies on host-genome associated with BC have been investigated molecular mechanisms of BC development and progression, and candidate therapeutic agents. However, a little attention has been given on microbial genome in this regard, although alterations in microbiota and epigenetic modifications are recognized as substantial risk factors for BC. This study focused on identifying bacterial key genes (bKGs) associated with BC infections in the Ghanaian population and exploring potential drug molecules by targeting these bKGs through in silico analyses.

Background And Aims: Cardiac glycosides (CGs), traditionally used for heart failure, have shown potential as anti-cancer agents. This study aims to explore their multifaceted mechanisms in cancer cell biology using proteome integral solubility alteration (PISA), focusing on the interaction with key proteins implicated in cellular metabolism and mitochondrial function.
Methods: We conducted lysate-based and intact-cell PISA assays on cancer cells treated with CGs (Digoxin, Digitoxin, Ouabain) to analyze protein solubility changes.

SARS-CoV-2-contributes to sickness and death in COVID-19 patients partly by inducing a hyper-proinflammatory immune response in the host airway. This hyper-proinflammatory state involves activation of signaling by NFκB, and unexpectedly, ENaC, the epithelial sodium channel. Post-infection inflammation may also contribute to "Long COVID"/PASC.
