Background: Intravenous (IV) diltiazem and metoprolol are commonly used to achieve rate control for atrial fibrillation with RVR (Afib with RVR), and are both recommended as first-line by current guidelines. While prior studies investigated the efficacy of these medications, there is little evidence available regarding the risk of adverse events (AEs) with their use.
Methods: We identified randomized controlled trials (RCT) and observational studies reporting rates of AEs following administration of IV diltiazem and metoprolol for Afib with RVR by searching PubMed, SCOPUS, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library.
The use of neuromodulators for cosmetic purposes has a remarkable safety record; nevertheless, unwanted effects can and do sometimes occur when neurotoxins are used for facial rejuvenation, such as neutralizing antibodies and eyelid ptosis. The primary objective of the following roundtable discussion was to review the most commonly reported complications from neurotoxins and summarize considerations for reducing the risk of complications. A roundtable discussion was held by 5 notable experts in their field during a special addition of the Thriving in Diversity webinar series on Thursday, February 15, 2024.

Cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is pathologically associated with ferroptosis. Dexmedetomidine (Dex) exerts neuroprotective activity after cerebral IRI. Our work focused on probing the pharmacologic effect of Dex on ferroptosis during cerebral IRI and the mechanisms involved.

Background: Many variables may affect approaches of psychiatrists to methamphetamine-associated psychotic disorder (MAP) treatment. This study was aimed to reach adult psychiatrists actively practicing in Turkey through an internet-based survey and to determine their practices and attitudes to MAP treatment.
Methods: In this internet-based study, participants were divided into three groups based on their answers: Those who do not follow-up any MAP patient were group 1 (n = 78), partially involved in the treatment process of at least one patient diagnosed with MAP were group 2 (n = 128), completely involved in the treatment process of at least one patient diagnosed with MAP were group 3 (n = 202).

Article Synopsis
- Ischaemic heart disease results from coronary atherosclerosis, which is linked to systemic inflammation involving various immune cells released by the spleen.
- Prolonged inflammation can lead to ischaemic heart failure, while the spleen's interaction with the nervous system can modulate immune responses and protect the heart from damage.
- Splenectomy, which removes the spleen, increases mortality risk from ischaemic heart disease, highlighting the spleen's crucial role in immune responses and cardiovascular protection.
