Background: Despite established antiviral therapy for herpes simplex virus, varicella zoster and cytomegalovirus encephalitis, the outcome remains poor.
Objectives: To assess pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) data of antiviral drugs in the central nervous system (CNS) to optimize the treatment of Herpesviridae encephalitis.
Sources: PUBMED search 1950 to September 2024, terms (1) "encephalitis" and ("HSV" or "VZV" or "CMV") or (2) cerebrospinal and ("(val)acyclovir" or "(val)ganciclovir" or "foscarnet" or "cidofovir").

Maternal antidepressant use has increased during the past 2 decades, with venlafaxine emerging as a common agent during pregnancy. Both venlafaxine and its active metabolite possess prolonged half-lives in adults; however, abrupt discontinuation may lead to withdrawal including irritability, jitteriness, lethargy, restlessness, and insomnia. The drug and its metabolite readily cross the placenta, posing additional considerations during pregnancy.

Persistent chemicals from industrial processes, particularly perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), have become pervasive in the environment due to their persistence, long half-lives, and bioaccumulative properties. Used globally for their thermal resistance and repellence to water and oil, PFAS have led to widespread environmental contamination. These compounds pose significant health risks with exposure through food, water, and dermal contact.

The therapeutic application of drugs often faces challenges due to non-specific distribution, inadequate dosification and degradation, which limits their efficacy. Two primary strategies are employed to overcome these issues: the use of derivatives of the active substances and incorporation of those into porous materials. The latter, involving materials such as zeolites, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and hydrogels, has shown promising results in protecting the active ingredients from degradation and enabling a controlled release.
