Outcomes of Drug Interactions Between Antiretrovirals and Co-Medications, Including Over-the-Counter Drugs: A Real-World Study
ConclusionsFrequent unwanted outcomes resulting from DDIs between ARVs and OTC medications underscore the importance of integrating non-prescription drugs into medication reconciliation. The real-world data available throughwww.clinicalcasesDDIs.com serves as a valuable resource for assessing the clinical relevance of DDIs. (Source: Infectious Diseases and Therapy)

The interaction of Synapsin 2a and Synaptogyrin-3 regulates fear extinction in mice
The mechanisms behind a lack of efficient fear extinction in some individuals are unclear. Here, by employing a principal components analysis–based approach, we differentiated the mice into extinction-resistant and susceptible groups. We determined that elevated synapsin 2a (Syn2a) in the infralimbic cortex (IL) to basolateral amygdala (BLA) circuit disrupted presynaptic orchestration, leading to an excitatory/inhibitory imbalance in the BLA region and causing extinction resistance. Overexpression or silencing of Syn2a levels in IL neurons replicated or alleviated behavioral, electrophysiological, and biochemical phenoty...

Associations of nirmatrelvir-ritonavir treatment with death and clinical improvement in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 during the Omicron wave in Beijing, China: a multicentre, retrospective cohort study
CONCLUSION: Among hospitalized patients with COVID-19 during the Omicron wave in Beijing, China, the early initiation of nirmatrelvir-ritonavir was associated with clinical benefits of lowering mortality and improving clinical recovery.PMID:38354691 | PMC:PMC10868413 | DOI:10.1080/07853890.2024.2313062 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

Phenytoin enzyme induction for management of supratherapeutic tacrolimus levels due to drug-drug interaction with nirmatrelvir/ritonavir: Case series and discussion
CONCLUSION: These observations demonstrate that metabolism induction using phenytoin may be a useful strategy in the setting of supratherapeutic tacrolimus levels resulting from concomitant administration with nirmatrelvir/ritonavir.PMID:38347740 | DOI:10.1093/ajhp/zxae032 (Source: American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy : AJHP)

Allograft function predicts mortality in kidney transplant recipients with severe COVID-19: a paradoxical risk factor
ConclusionsPre-infection allograft function is a good predictor of death in patients with severe COVID-19. Allograft function was improved after treatment for severe COVID-19, which was not observed in patients with non-severe COVID-19. (Source: Frontiers in Immunology)

Body weight and blood pressure changes on dolutegravir-, efavirenz- or atazanavir-based antiretroviral therapy in Zimbabwe: a longitudinal study
CONCLUSIONS: Among PLHIV starting ART or switching to a new regimen, DTG-based ART was associated with larger weight gains and a substantial increase in the prevalence of high blood pressure. Routine weight and blood pressure measurement and interventions to lower blood pressure could benefit PLHIV on DTG-based ART. Further studies are needed to elucidate the mechanisms and reversibility of these changes after discontinuation of DTG.PMID:38332525 | PMC:PMC10853595 | DOI:10.1002/jia2.26216 (Source: Journal of the International AIDS Society)
