Background: The objective of this study was to evaluate effect of an Educational intervention on the number Potential Drug-Drug Interactions in the Emergency Hospital.
Methods: The prevalence and structure of Major Drug-Drug Interactions at Emergency care Hospitals of Aktobe, Uralsk, Atyrau cities (Kazakhstan) were studied (pharmacoepidemiological, cross-sectional study). Educational interventions were developed and implemented to improve pharmacotherapy in the Cardiology Department of the Aktobe Emergency Hospital, followed by an assessment of their effect.
Results: The effect of educational interventions was revealed, which led to a significant decrease in the indicators of drug interactions of the Major Drug-Drug Interactions by 18.2% (OR: 0.45; 95% CI, 0.25-to-0.82) in the cardiological patients of the Emergency Care Hospital of Aktobe city compared to the Regional Cardiology Center of Uralsk.
Conclusion: The implementation of educational pharmacotherapy programs decreased the number of clinically significant drug interactions in the Cardiology Department of Emergency Hospitals.

This study investigates the preparation of coamorphous systems composed entirely of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), namely praziquantel, niclosamide, and mebendazole. The objective was to formulate and characterize binary and ternary coamorphous systems to evaluate their structural, thermal, and stability properties. Ten different mixtures (binary and ternary) were designed through a mixture design approach and prepared using a sustainable, one-step neat grinding process in a lab-scale vibrational mill.

Highly active antiretroviral therapy has led to a significant increase in the life expectancy of people living with HIV. The trade-off is that HIV-infected patients often suffer from comorbidities that require additional treatment, increasing the risk of Drug-Drug Interactions (DDIs), the clinical relevance of which has often not been determined during registration trials of the drugs involved. Therefore, it is important to identify potential clinically relevant DDIs in order to establish the most appropriate therapeutic approaches.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the major phytochemical constituents of cannabis, , widely recognized for its therapeutic potential. While cannabis has been utilized for medicinal purposes since ancient times, its psychoactive and addictive properties led to its prohibition in 1937, with only the medical use being reauthorized in 1998. Unlike tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBD lacks psychoactive and addictive properties, yet the name that suggests its association with cannabis has significantly contributed to its public visibility.

Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) is a severe developmental and epileptic encephalopathy marked by drug-resistant seizures and profound cognitive and behavioral impairments, with nearly 95% of individuals affected by moderate to severe intellectual disability. This review comprehensively explores the cognitive and behavioral impacts of current treatment options for LGS, including antiseizure medications (ASMs), neuromodulation strategies, the ketogenic diet, and surgical interventions. Given the limited availability of LGS-specific data for several ASMs, the evidence base is supplemented with findings from general epilepsy populations and individuals with epilepsy and intellectual disabilities.
