Vestibulodynia: Clinical characteristics, first-line treatments, and factors associated with escalation of treatment with EMG-guided injections of botulinum toxin in a retrospective french cohort study
CONCLUSION: Our study highlights the current lack of efficacy of first-line treatments in vestibulodynia. Considering the high prevalence of muscular dysfunction, botulinum toxin injections are of particular interest despite a lack of randomized controlled trials in this indication.PMID:38678773 | DOI:10.1016/j.annder.2024.103277 (Source: Annales de Dermatologie et de Venereologie)

Treating Erythromelalgia with Interosseous Membrane Stimulation: An Autonomic Basis for the Condition and Its Treatment
CONCLUSIONS: Interosseous membrane stimulation is a safe, simple, and effective treatment for erythromelalgia, which is notoriously refractory to treatment. This patient's response to treatment might have been a result of localized derangement of her autonomic nervous system. It is possible that manipulation of the autonomic milieu of an extremity is a significant factor in the mechanism of action of interosseous membrane stimulation.PMID:38659724 | PMC:PMC11036148 | DOI:10.1089/acu.2023.0098 (Source: Acupuncture in Medicine)

Influence of Pre- and Intraoperative Local Anaesthetic in Strabismus Surgery under General Anaesthesia in Adults
CONCLUSION: As this increases patient safety and comfort and is cost-effective (less time in the recovery room), we recommend adding perioperative local anaesthesia to strabismus surgery performed under general anaesthesia.PMID:38653301 | DOI:10.1055/a-2268-9411 (Source: Klinische Monatsblatter fur Augenheilkunde)

mRNA Expression Levels of Cytochrome P450 CYP1A2, CYP3A4, and CYP3A5 in the Epidermis: A Focus on Individual Differences Among Japanese Individuals
Xenobiotica. 2024 Apr 22:1-28. doi: 10.1080/00498254.2024.2344664. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTVarious cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) that contribute to drug metabolism are expressed in the skin. However, variation among individuals in CYP expression profiles is not well-understood.To investigate CYPs related to the metabolism of transdermal preparations in Japan, multiple skin tissue specimens of individuals of Japanese descent were prepared, and the mRNA expression levels of CYP1A2, CYP3A4, and CYP3A5 were measured. Associations between the expression patterns of these CYPs and body mass index (BMI) were also investiga...

Discovery of a Novel Lidocaine Metabolite by Human Liver Microsome and Identification of Microbial Species Which Produces the Same Metabolite
In this study, we identified an unknown metabolite of the anaesthetic drug lidocaine, which is metabolised by HLM. By screening for lidocaine metabolic activity in five types of foods (blue cheese, shiitake mushroom, natto, yoghurt, and dry yeast), we found that bacteria isolated from natto reproduced the lidocaine metabolic reaction that occurs in HLM. A fraction containing the unknown lidocaine metabolite was prepared through mass cultivation of a Bacillus subtilis standard strain, ethyl acetate extraction, open column chromatography, and HPLC purification. We identified the unknown metabolite as 3-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-1...
