NSAID's are largely used drugs. Among the reported side effects of this type of drugs is liver damage. 73 patients suffering from diverse rheumatological pathologies (arthrosis 46.6%, rotators 9.68%, rheumatoid arthritis 21.92%, lumbalgia 5.48%, other diagnosis 6.85%) were evaluated. Aceclofenac (AC) 100 mg. dose every 12 hours was administered. A Transaminase value determination was taken both at the beginning and end of medication for each patient. Average age of patients was 52.71 years, 78% being female. Treatment was administered as follows, 42.47% of the patients received a 60 days treatment, 28.8% a 45 days treatment, 23.3% a 30 days treatment and 5.47% received a 15 days treatment. Reported mean GOT value at the beginning was 16.6 U, at the end 17.01 U. GPT initial value was 15.84 U and final 16.53 U. A GOT increase, 20 U to 50 was observed in a single patient. GPT was also increased from 32 U to 47 U in one case. Results led us to a no liver damage report of the NSAID's AC in these group of patients.

Nanozyme-based colorimetric sensors are promising approaches for environmental monitoring, food safety, and medical diagnostics. However, developing novel nanozymes that exhibit high catalytic activity, good dispersion in aqueous solution, high sensitivity, selectivity, and stability is challenging. In this study, for the first time, single-atom iridium-doped carbon dot nanozymes (SA Ir-CDs) are synthesized via a simple in situ pyrolysis process.

The impact of heteroresistance on tuberculosis (TB) treatment outcomes is unclear, as is the role of different rifampin and isoniazid exposures on developing resistance mutations. Hollow fiber system model of TB (HFS-TB) units were inoculated with drug-susceptible () and treated with isoniazid and rifampin exposure identified in a clinical trial as leading to treatment failure and acquired drug resistance. Systems were sampled for drug concentration measurements, estimation of total and drug-resistant , and small molecule overlapping reads (SMOR) analysis for the detection of heteroresistance.

Introduction: Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a common vasculitis predominantly affecting larger vessels, especially in individuals aged 70-79. Cerebrovascular ischemic events (CIE), such as stroke and transient ischemic attacks, are serious but rare complications of GCA, with a pooled prevalence of 4%. Some studies found that within 2 weeks of GCA diagnosis, 74% and 34% of patients experience transient or severe ischemic events, respectively.

Mathematical models of viral dynamics are crucial in understanding infection trajectories. However, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) viral load data often includes limited sparse observations with significant heterogeneity. This study aims to: (1) understand the impact of patient characteristics in shaping the temporal viral load trajectory and (2) establish a data collection protocol (DCP) to reliably reconstruct individual viral load trajectories.
