Objectives: To find the frequency of prescription of gastro-intestinal protectors (GIP) at the same time as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID). To find certain characteristics linked to their use in primary care. To evaluate how correctly they are prescribed.
Design: A crossover descriptive study.
Setting: A base urban health area.
Patients: Patients over 14, who attended in 1994, who had a medical history and were treated with NSAID.
Measurements And Interventions: 1,115 medical histories were obtained by simple randomised sampling, of whom 205 were under treatment with NSAID. A questionnaire was used to evaluate: age, sex, NSAID treatment, GIP, history of peptic ulcer, corticoid or acenocoumarol treatment, tobacco, alcohol and related pathology. After a complete bibliographic review, some criteria were fixed for when it is correct to give GIP-NSAID.
Results: The prevalence of NSAID prescription was 18.39%. 34 patients treated with NSAID received GIP at the same time. Aceclophenac was the most widely prescribed NSAID; and H2 antihistamines, the drugs most commonly used as GIP.

Alogliptin is a highly selective inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 and primarily excreted as unchanged drug in the urine, and differences in clinical outcomes in renal impairment patients increase the risk of serious adverse reactions. In this study, we developed a comprehensive physiologically-based quantitative systematic pharmacology model of the alogliptin-glucose control system to predict plasma exposure and use glucose as a clinical endpoint to prospectively understand its therapeutic outcomes with varying renal function. Our model incorporates a PBPK model for alogliptin, DPP-4 activity described by receptor occupancy theory, and the crosstalk and feedback loops for GLP-1-GIP-glucagon, insulin, and glucose.

Curing Alzheimer's disease remains hampered by an incomplete understanding of its pathophysiology and progression. Exploring dysfunction in medial temporal lobe networks, particularly the anterior-temporal (AT) and posterior-medial (PM) systems, may provide key insights, as these networks exhibit functional connectivity alterations along the entire Alzheimer's continuum, potentially influencing disease propagation. However, the specific changes in each network and their clinical relevance across stages are not yet fully understood.

The first Neolithic farmers arrived in the Western Mediterranean area from the East. They established settlements in coastal areas and over time migrated to new environments, adapting to changing ecological and climatic conditions. While farming practices and settlements in the Western Mediterranean differ greatly from those known in the Eastern Mediterranean and central Europe, the extent to which these differences are connected to the local environment and climate is unclear.

While driving simulations are also used, they typically require longer administration times. This study examines the sensitivity of driving simulation variables to sleep deprivation throughout the task.
