Comparing adverse Events of tenecteplase and alteplase: A Real-World analysis of the FDA adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS)
CONCLUSION: This study identified and compared signals of ADRs associated with tenecteplase and alteplase, although tenecteplase is as effective as alteplase and has advantages such as ease of use and affordability, it cannot replace alteplase in the treatment of AIS until its safety profile is fully recognized. Additionally, previously unreported ocular ADRs and pneumonia were identified, providing valuable insights into the relationship between ADRs and the use of these thrombolytic drugs. These findings underscore the importance of continuous monitoring and effective detection of AEs to ultimately enhance the safety of ...

Safety and effectiveness of rivaroxaban for prevention of stroke in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation: analysis of routine clinical data from four countries
CONCLUSIONS: Incidences of intracranial bleeding were generally lower with rivaroxaban than with SOC, whereas incidences of gastrointestinal and urogenital bleeding were generally higher. The safety profile of rivaroxaban for NVAF in routine practice is consistent with findings from randomized controlled trials and other studies.PMID:36795067 | DOI:10.1080/14740338.2023.2181334

Risks and Benefits of Current and Novel Drugs to Treat Agitation in Alzheimer's Disease
Expert Opin Drug Saf. 2022 Oct 17. doi: 10.1080/14740338.2022.2136162. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: At present, no pharmacological interventions have been approved for the treatment of agitation in Alzheimer's disease (AD), an important neuropsychiatric symptom that has been linked to increased mortality and greater caregiver burden. Antipsychotics offer some benefit, but increase the risk of adverse events such as falls, extrapyramidal symptoms, stroke, and mortality. Over the past 10 years, several new and repurposed medications have shown promise for treating AD-associated agitation.AREAS COVERED: We revi...

Effect of omega-3 fatty acids on cardiovascular events in high-risk patients with hypertriglyceridemia in Japan: a 3-year post-marketing surveillance study (OCEAN3 survey)
CONCLUSIONS: Among patients receiving statins, cardiovascular event incidence did not differ significantly between O3AEE-treated patients and non-O3AEE-treated patients. Further studies are required before definitive conclusions can be drawn on the effect of O3AEE on cardiovascular event incidence in high-risk patients with hypertriglyceridemia.TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02285166.PMID:35772177 | DOI:10.1080/14740338.2022.2094914
