Infectious diseases, including bacterial, fungal, and viral, have once again gained urgency in the drug development pipeline after the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Tuberculosis (TB) is an old infectious disease for which eradication has not yet been successful. Novel agents are required to have potential activity against both drug-sensitive and drug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of TB.

Purpose: Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is one of the most common and serious adverse drug reactions related to first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs in pediatric tuberculosis patients. This study aims to develop an automatic machine learning (AutoML) model for predicting the risk of anti-tuberculosis drug-induced liver injury (ATB-DILI) in children.
Methods: A retrospective study was performed on the clinical data and therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) results of children initially treated for tuberculosis at the affiliated Changsha Central Hospital of University of South China.

Free fentanyl is responsible for its pharmacological effects, but its total concentration is typically determined for therapeutic drug monitoring purposes. Determination of fentanyl concentration can help reduce the prescribed doses, leading to fewer side effects and increased effectiveness. Therefore, predicting free drug concentration in pharmaceutical research is crucial.

Background Chronic diseases such as chronic kidney disease (CKD), chronic liver disease (CLD), tuberculosis (TB), dementia, and heart disease are global health concerns of significant importance, representing major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Early diagnosis and interventions are critical to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs. Methods This prospective observational study analyzed clinical data from 270 patients (calculated using G*Power 3.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFLiver injury in tuberculosis patients, associated with noncompliance with treatment, is further exacerbated by viral hepatitis, which not only directly harms the liver but also increases susceptibility to drug-induced liver injury. The aim of this study was to analyze the associated risk factors for viral hepatitis in tuberculosis patients. This systematic review and meta-analysis adhere to the PRISMA 2020 statement, and the protocol has been registered with PROSPERO (CRD42023477241).
