Radiopharmaceuticals targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) have emerged as a sensitive tool for PET imaging of prostate cancer (PCa) recurrence. Yet urinary bladder activity may obscure the visualization of prostate bed recurrence. Among the Food and Drug Administration-approved PSMA radiopharmaceuticals, F-flotufolastat (rhPSMA-7.

Study Objective: Compare the length of hospital stay of adolescents admitted for severe anemia (hemoglobin ≤ 8 g/dL) due to acute abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) treated with high-dose combined oral contraceptive pills (HD-OCPs) versus those treated with HD-OCPs and intravenous conjugated equine estrogen, also referred to as dual therapy.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This is a single institution retrospective cohort study of adolescents hospitalized for the management of acute AUB and severe anemia between July 1, 2004, to January 1, 2020. Subjects were excluded if they were pregnant, had a malignancy, thrombocytopenia, treated with other hormonal therapies, or if bleeding stopped prior to admission.

Although intraoperative magnesium sulphate administration has various advantages, its influence on the occurrence of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) remains unclear, particularly in patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). The steep Trendelenburg position and a high intra-abdominal pressure can render patients susceptible to AKI after surgery. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of intraoperative magnesium sulphate administration on postoperative AKI in patients who underwent RARP.

Background: Area-under-the-curve (AUC)-directed vancomycin therapy is recommended; however, AUC estimation in critically ill children is difficult owing to the need for multiple samples and lack of informative models.
Methods: The authors prospectively enrolled critically ill children receiving intravenous (IV) vancomycin for suspected infection and evaluated the accuracy of Bayesian estimation of AUC from a single, optimally timed sample. During the dosing interval, when clinical therapeutic drug monitoring was performed, an optimally timed sample was collected, which was determined for each subject using an established population pharmacokinetic model and the multiple model optimal function of Pmetrics, a nonparametric population pharmacokinetic modeling software.

Introduction: Intravenous non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used in healthcare settings, but their comparative safety and resource utilization impacts remain understudied. This study aimed to compare adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) between patients receiving IV-ibuprofen versus IV/IM ketorolac.
Methods: A retrospective, longitudinal analysis was conducted using an all-payer database, examining records from January 1, 2014, to June 3, 2023.
