Current status of in silico, preclinical and clinical study registries across the globe: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusion: At priori study registration is essential to deal with selective reporting. Comparison between study protocol and final report allows us to know the protocol deviations and allows us to evaluate risk of bias and internal validity of the research findings. Although trialists are responsible for the completeness of records, yet the registries must have some measures for their periodic update and quality control of the data.

Liposomal amphotericin B-induced reversible ototoxicity in a patient with disseminated histoplasmosis
We report a case of disseminated histoplasmosis who was treated with liposomal amphotericin B (LAmB) and developed hearing loss during the treatment, which recovered after discontinuing the drug. This is a rare adverse effect of LAmB and reported only once from India, to the best of our knowledge. (Source: Indian Journal of Pharmacology)

Ropivacaine induced systemic toxicity in a patient with phacomatosis pigmentokeratotica
Ashish Aditya, Paritosh Amar, Anjuman Chander, Nitika Goel, Kajal Jain, Tanvir SamraIndian Journal of Pharmacology 2021 53(2):153-156 Calculation of the maximum recommended dose of local anesthetic minimizes the risk of Local Anesthetic Systemic Toxicity (LAST) when administrating multiple blocks for lower limb surgeries. Ropivacaine is the preferred local anesthetic as it is less lipophilic than bupivacaine and thus results in less central nervous system (CNS) and cardiovascular toxicity. The presence of developmental, congenital, and metabolic disorders mandates an extracautious approach in the administration of large v...
