Medication economic burden of antidepressant non-adherence in Spain
Conclusion: Reducing non-adherence to antidepressants is critical to improving clinical and economic outcomes. The implementation of interventions and standardized measures, including early detection indicators, is urgently needed. Antidepressants differ with regard to non-adherence and their cost, and this should be considered when prescribing this medication. The Medication Possession Ratio could be used by the healthcare provider and clinician to identify non-adherent patients for monitoring, and to take necessary corrective actions.

Catchment area, fate, and environmental risks investigation of micropollutants in Danish wastewater
This study aimed to investigate the spatial distribution of micropollutants in wastewater related to catchment area, and their environmental risks and fate. About 24-h flow proportional effluent (n = 26) wastewater samples were collected from eight WWTPs across Denmark. From five of these WWTPs corresponding influent samples (n = 20) were collected. Samples were enriched by multi-layer solid phase and analysed by liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry and comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography with high-resolution mass spectrometry detection. We detected and quantified 79 micropollutants from a l...

Cost-minimization analysis of escitalopram, fluoxetine, and amitriptyline in the treatment of depression
CONCLUSION: The choice of an antidepressant depends on multiple aspects, among which the cost of treatment plays a crucial role. Among the drugs compared, fluoxetine seems to offer greater value for money. The study emphasizes that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are the most commonly prescribed antidepressants not only because of their favorable pharmacological profile but also because of their affordability.

Trial Confirms Antidepressant Improves IBS in Primary Care
People who received low-dose amitriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant, for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms that persisted despite dietary changes and first-line treatments such as analgesics experienced an improvement in IBS severity and symptoms compared with those who received a placebo. More people discontinued the placebo than amitriptyline due to adverse events, according to results from a phase 3 randomized clinical trial involving 463 participants from 55 primary care practices in the UK. In addition, there was no difference between the groups in anxiety, depression, or ability to work after 6 months. (Sour...

A new MAS-related G protein-coupled receptor X2 cell membrane chromatography analysis model based on HALO-tag technology and its applications
Talanta. 2023 Oct 18;268(Pt 1):125317. doi: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.125317. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCell membrane chromatography (CMC) is an effective method for studying receptors with multiple transmembrane structure such as MAS-related G protein-coupled receptor X2 (MrgX2). CMC relies on the maintenance of the complete biological structure of a membrane receptor; however, it needs to be further improved to obtain a more convenient and stable CMC model. In the present study, the haloalkane dehalogenase protein tag (HALO-tag) technology was used to construct a new MrgX2/CMC model. The fusion receptors of MrgX2 with H...
