Ecological risk assessment of pharmaceuticals and endocrine disrupting compounds in Brazilian surface waters
Environ Pollut. 2023 Sep 30:122628. doi: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.122628. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPharmaceuticals and endocrine disrupting compounds are organic micropollutants that can cause adverse effects at low concentrations. Their occurrence in surface waters has been reported in several countries, including Brazil, at concentrations on the order of ngL-1, while the concentrations at which toxic effects are observed are often in the range of mg.L-1 to μg.L -1, however few studies have been undertaken to characterize risks they represent in Brazilian surface waters. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluat...

Blot Clot Risk Higher When Pain Relievers Used With Hormonal Contraception
Using over-the-counter pain relievers known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as diclofenac, ibuprofen, and naproxen alongside hormonal contraception was tied to a higher chance of developing blood clots, also known as venous thromboembolism, according to data collected from about 2 million women in Denmark between 1996 and 2017.

Drug Repurposing for Spinal Cord Injury: Progress Towards Therapeutic Intervention for Primary Factors and Secondary Complications
AbstractSpinal cord injury (SCI) encompasses a plethora of complex mechanisms like the involvement of major cell death pathways, neurodegeneration of spinal cord neurons, overexpression of glutaminergic transmission and inflammation cascade, along with different co-morbidities like neuropathic pain, urinary and sexual dysfunction, respiratory and cardiac failures, making it one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality globally. Corticosteroids such as methylprednisolone and dexamethasone, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as naproxen, aspirin and ibuprofen are the first-line treatment options for SCI, ...

Fabrication of a bifunctional fluorescent chiral composite based on magnetic Fe < sub > 3 < /sub > O < sub > 4 < /sub > /chiral carbon dots@hierarchical porous metal-organic framework
Talanta. 2023 Aug 28;266(Pt 2):125113. doi: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.125113. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTConsidering the selective pharmacological activity and ecotoxicity of chiral drugs, the development of chiral materials with the dual functions of enantiomeric recognition and adsorption is of great significance. Herein, a novel bifunctional chiral composite (Fe3O4/CCDs@HP-ZIF-8) which does not contain expensive and rare fluorescent chiral ligands or metal ions, was constructed for the first time by encapsulating chiral carbon dots (CCDs) and magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles into hierarchical porous metal-organic frameworks...

Long and Short-term Metformin Consumption as a Potential Therapy to Prevent Complications of COVID-19
CONCLUSION: In this trial, metformin consumption had no effect on mortality and ICU admission rates in non-diabetic patients. However, metformin improved COVID-19 complications in diabetic patients who had been receiving metformin prior to COVID-19 infection, and it significantly lowered the intubation rates.PMID:37646067 | PMC:PMC10460805 | DOI:10.34172/apb.2023.066 (Source: Adv Data)
