Standard dosing units are useful tools for regulation, substance use guidelines, data collection, consistency of research, as a means of communicating low-risk recommendations and dose-related effects, and for self-monitoring. Efforts to standardize cannabis dose have focused on cannabinoid content without considering tolerance or mode.

Importance: The Southern Community Cohort Study (SCCS) Polypill Trial showed that a cardiovascular polypill (a single pill containing a statin and 3 half-standard dose antihypertensive medications) effectively controls cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in a majority Black race and low-income population. The cost-effectiveness of polypill treatment in this population has not been previously studied.
Objective: To determine the cost-effectiveness of the cardiovascular polypill.

Background: Influenza remains a significant public health challenge, with vaccination being a substantial way to prevent it. Cell-cultured influenza vaccines have emerged to improve on the drawbacks of egg-based vaccines, but there are few studies focusing on T cell immunity with both types of vaccines. Therefore, we studied the following 2022-2023 seasonal influenza vaccines with a standard dose and high dose: cell-based (C_sd and C_hd) and egg-based (E_sd and E_hd) vaccines.

In patients whose chronic urticaria (CU) cannot be controlled with omalizumab 300 mg and antihistamines, the dose can be increased up to 600 mg. The study aimed to compare the clinical characteristics of patients receiving 300 mg versus higher doses of omalizumab, and to evaluate baseline predictors for updosing. A total of 159 patients who have been followed up at a tertiary care allergy center and received omalizumab for at least 12 months were included.
