The expert clinical pharmacological advice program for tailoring on real-time antimicrobial therapies with emerging TDM candidates in special populations: how the ugly duckling turned into a swan
This article aims to highlight the main key-points and organizational aspects for implementing a successful TDM-based expert clinical pharmacological advice (ECPA) program for tailoring antimicrobial therapies on real-time in different hospitalized patient special populations.EXPERT OPINION: TDM-based ECPA programs lead by the MD Clinical Pharmacologist may represent a way forward for maximizing clinical efficacy and for minimizing the risk of resistance developments and/or toxicity of antimicrobials. Stakeholders should be aware of the fact that this innovative approach may be cost-effective.PMID:37874608 | DOI:10.1080/17...

The role of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
Expert Rev Clin Pharmacol. 2023 Oct 21. doi: 10.1080/17512433.2023.2274536. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a highly prevalent disease, associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia, which can lead to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma in some patients. Apart from lifestyle modifications, which are the cornerstone for its management, several drugs are under evaluation, including glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-R1RAs). In this review, we summarized major clinical data concerning the effects of GLP-1RAs on NAFLD, trying to h...

The new evidence on cardiorenal benefits of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors in type 1 diabetes: one step closer to their use in this setting?
Expert Rev Clin Pharmacol. 2023 Oct 21. doi: 10.1080/17512433.2023.2274988. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChronic kidney disease (CKD) affects 30-40% of persons with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), markedly increasing the risk of kidney failure and cardiovascular events. The excessive mortality observed in T1DM compared to the general population can be attributed to the presence of CKD, with cardiovascular disease as the leading cause of premature death. A recently published, robust real-world study investigated the impact of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists ...
