Pantoprazole is a proton-pump inhibitor mainly used in treating various gastroesophageal disorders and frequently as prophylaxis for stress ulcers and gastrointestinal bleeding in most patients admitted for in-hospital management. Hypersensitivity reactions to this medication have been reported, although the exact incidence and prevalence are unknown. Further studies on proton-pump inhibitor allergic reactions should be conducted to enable physicians to safely select and prescribe an alternative type of medication within the same drug class, confidently avoiding the allergenic molecular compound that the patient reacted to previously. We present a case of a 35-year-old male postoperative bariatric patient with no significant allergy history who developed an allergic skin rash a week after being discharged on pantoprazole 40 mg. His rash was itchy and distributed mainly over the torso and lower limbs, without any additional respiratory or gastrointestinal symptoms.

Background: Epidermal necrolysis (EN) is a rare and severe condition, characterized by a diffuse skin and mucosal detachment and mainly induced by drugs. Literature is scarce regarding the rate of recurrences and culprit drug re-exposure.
Objectives: To assess the rate of EN recurrences as well as high notoriety drugs re-exposures in patients with EN.

This review outlines significant clinical research developments in the field of critical care respiratory medicine from October 2023 to September 2024. In the post-pandemic era, the new global definition of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has improved practicality and early warning capabilities, although further refinement through respiratory mechanics and multi-omics approaches is required. Novel patterns of pulmonary microbiota distribution in ARDS patients have emerged, with microbiota-host immune interactions significantly influencing clinical outcomes.

Pre-eclampsia, a type of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), is characterized by hypertension and organ dysfunction that develops or worsens after 20 weeks of gestation. Although symptomatic management using antihypertensive medications has been adopted, definitive treatments other than pregnancy termination remain unavailable to halt disease progression. Research on heme oxygenase (HO)-1, a molecule with anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties, has shown that a pharmacological increase in placental HO-1 expression and activity may ameliorate this condition; therefore, HO-1 is a promising therapeutic target for this disorder.

Marginal ulcers are a common complication following Roux-en-Y bypass surgeries with an approximate incidence of 4.6%. The pathophysiology is complex and risk factors include smoking, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) use, Helicobacter pylori infection, and a larger pouch size.

Background: Concomitant intake of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) may create drug-drug interactions, potentially impacting efficacy of anticancer agents. In the phase III PALLAS trial, the addition of palbociclib capsules to standard adjuvant endocrine therapy in patients with hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative early breast cancer did not improve invasive disease-free survival (iDFS). We explored whether concomitant use of PPIs affected survival outcomes in patients treated with palbociclib in PALLAS.
