Dose adjustment of rheumatology and allergy/immunology medications in chronic kidney disease: awareness and knowledge among internal medicine housestaff
CONCLUSION: Overall, awareness and knowledge were poor among IMHS for dose adjustments of rheumatology and allergy/immunology medications in patients with CKD. Proper education and exposure to nephrology during training may improve quality and safety of care for patients with CKD.PMID:37663380 | PMC:PMC10472844 | DOI:10.1080/08998280.2023.2228172 (Source: Baylor University Medical Center Proceedings)

Evaluation of the Local and Systemic Effects of Oral Submucosal Ketamine
Few therapeutic alternatives exist for patients with allergies to amide and ester local anesthetics. While diphenhydramine ’s efficacy has been verified experimentally, its use is associated with significantly decreased duration of pulpal anesthesia and increased subjective pain scores during exodontia procedures as compared to prilocaine.1 Additionally, complications such as confusion, diplopia, and skin necrosis hav e been reported. Several investigators have examined ketamine’s use as a postoperative analgesic adjunct when combined with commonly used amide anesthetics during oral surgery procedures. (Source: Journal...

Development of an UHPLC-MS/MS method to determine cutaneous biodistribution of cannabidiol after topical application of cannabidiol gel assisted by iontophoresis
This study aimed to establish a method for the determination of cannabidiol in skin samples by UHPLC-MS/MS. A BEH C18 (50.0 × 2.1 mm, 2.5 μm) column was used; the mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0.1% formic acid (70:30, v/v), the flow rate was 0.2 μl·min-1 and the column temperature was 30°C. Positive-ion mode with multiple reaction monitoring detection was used to quantify cannabidiol (m/z 315.1 → 193.1) while diphenhydramine (m/z 256.3 → 167.08) served as the internal standard. Good linearity was shown in the range of 1-200 ng·ml-1 for cannabidiol with correlation coefficients of >0.999. The LLOQ was ...

The impact of Verapamil for radial access in diagnostic cerebrovascular angiograms: A retrospective case-control study
CONCLUSION: Verapamil in the "cocktail" for wrist access diagnostic cerebral angiograms was associated with periprocedural hives, but not associated with a significant reduction in spasm compared to the non-Verapamil group. Our findings suggest that the administration of prophylactic Verapamil for these procedures may not be necessary.PMID:37574785 | DOI:10.1177/15910199231193932 (Source: Interventional Neuroradiology)
