The incidence rates and consequences of inappropriate dosing of glucose-lowering drugs remain limited in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). A retrospective cohort study was conducted to estimate the frequency of inappropriate dosing of glucose-lowering drugs and to evaluate the subsequent risk of hypoglycemia in outpatients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of < 50 mL/min/1.73 m. Outpatient visits were divided according to whether the prescription of glucose-lowering drugs included dose adjustment according to eGFR or not. A total of 89,628 outpatient visits were included, 29.3% of which received inappropriate dosing. The incidence rates of the composite of all hypoglycemia were 76.71 and 48.51 events per 10,000 person-months in the inappropriate dosing group and in appropriate dosing group, respectively. After multivariate adjustment, inappropriate dosing was found to lead to an increased risk of composite of all hypoglycemia (hazard ratio 1.52, 95% confidence interval 1.34, 1.73). In the subgroup analysis, there were no significant changes in the risk of hypoglycemia regardless of renal function (eGFR < 30 vs. 30-50 mL/min/1.73 m). In conclusion, inappropriate dosing of glucose-lowering drugs in patients with CKD is common and associated with a higher risk of hypoglycemia.

Local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST) is a well-known life-threatening local anesthetics complication, especially if given in inappropriate doses or routes. Therefore, physicians should be aware of LAST symptoms, such as neurological and cardiac symptoms. In addition, they should always consider it in the differential diagnosis when they encounter similar symptoms.

Exercise and passive heating share some acute physiological responses. These include increases in body temperature, sweat rate, blood flow, heart rate, and redistribution of plasma and blood volume. These responses can vary depending on the heating modality or dose (e.

The widespread and inappropriate use of antibiotics, for therapeutic and prophylactic purposes, has contributed to a global crisis of rapidly increasing antimicrobial resistance of microorganisms. This resistance is often associated with elevated mutagenesis induced by the presence of antibiotics. Additionally, subinhibitory concentrations of antibiotics can trigger stress responses in bacteria, further exacerbating this problem.

Introduction: The aim of this study is to examine the physiological effects of emodin on intestinal microorganisms and the liver in the BALb/c mice.
Method And Results: Following an 8-week administration of emodin at doses of 25, 50, and 100 mg/kg/day,pathological analyses revealed that emodin significantly reduced the colon length, induced colonic crypt inflammation,diminished the colonic mucus layer,and decreased the fluorescence intensity of colonic tight junction proteins ZO-1 and Occludin. Concurrently, 16S rDNA gene sequencing corroborated that emodin altered the diversity and composition of the intestinal microbiota by increasing the to ratio.

Background And Objectives: Accumulating pediatric efficacy and safety data on drug use is inherently challenging yet essential. This study aimed to analyze the frequency and compute the odds of pediatric drug-associated liver injury across age groups (early childhood, middle childhood, and adolescence) and therapeutic categories using adverse drug reactions (ADRs) reporting data spanning nearly two decades.
Methods: We analyzed the reports of suspected ADRs occurring in children and adolescents in the Taiwan National Adverse Drug Reaction Reporting System during the period from May 1998 until July 2017.
