The effect of intraventously administered furosemide (20 mg) on the concentration of 21 amino acids in the blood serum and urine of 6 healthy volunteers was investigated. A substantially increased concentration of glutaminic acid and citrulline and a statistically significantly greater excretion of arginine with urine were ascretained.

This review explores the therapeutic potential of the stable gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157 in addressing electrolyte imbalances, specifically hyperkalemia, hypokalemia, hypermagnesemia, and hyperlithemia. In hyperkalemia, BPC 157 demonstrated a comprehensive counteractive effect against KCl overdose (intraperitoneally, intragastrically, and in vitro), effectively mitigating symptoms such as muscular weakness, hypertension, sphincter dysfunction, arrhythmias, and lethality. It also counteracted the adverse effects of succinylcholine and magnesium overdose, including systemic muscle paralysis, arrhythmias, and hyperkalemia.

: Earlier detection of severe immune-related hematological adverse events (irHAEs) in cancer patients treated with a PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor is critical to improving treatment outcomes. The study aimed to develop a simple machine learning (ML) model for predicting irHAEs associated with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. : We utilized the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership-Common Data Model based on electronic medical records from a tertiary (KHMC) and a secondary (KHNMC) hospital in South Korea.

Drug repurposing is a promising strategy for managing cardiovascular disease (CVD) in geriatric populations, offering efficient and cost-effective solutions. CVDs are prevalent across all age groups, with a significant increase in prevalence among geriatric populations. The middle-age period (40-65 years) is critical due to factors like obesity, sedentary lifestyle, and psychosocial stress.

Background And Objective: Total glucosides of paeony (TGP) capsules, tripterygium glycoside tablets (TGT), and celecoxib are commonly used drugs in clinical practice for the treatment of Rheumatoid arthritis (RA). An UPLC-MS/MS method for the analysis of celecoxib in beagle dogs was developed, the herb-drug interactions (HDIs) between TGP and TGT with celecoxib were studied based on pharmacokinetics.
Methods: The method of acetonitrile precipitation was applied to process plasma samples.
