Navigating patient reluctance to statin intolerance
Kardiol Pol. 2024 May 7. doi: 10.33963/v.phj.100526. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStatin therapy is a cornerstone in the management of dyslipidemia, both in primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular events. Despite strong guidelines supporting statin use, concerns regarding side effects, particularly musculoskeletal symptoms, contribute to statin intolerance and patient reluctance. While statin intolerance is reported in 5% to 30% of patients, its true prevalence may be overestimated due to the influence of the nocebo effect. Factors associated with higher incidence of statin intolerance include older age, female...

Genomic and biological characterization of bacteriophages against Enterobacter cloacae, a high-priority pathogen
In this study, we isolated and partially characterized nine lytic bacteriophages targeting E. cloacae, with two selected for comprehensive genomic analysis based on their host range and bacteriolytic activity. All identified phages exhibited a narrow host range, demonstrated stability within a temperature range of 30-60 °C, displayed pH tolerance from 3 to 10, and showed an excellent bacteriolytic capacity for up to 18 h. Notably, the fully characterized phage genomes revealed an absence of lysogenic, virulence, or antibiotic-resistance genes, positioning them as promising candidates for therapeutic intervention against E...
