Supportive care and antiviral treatments in primary herpetic gingivostomatitis: a systematic review
CONCLUSIONS: Although PHGS is a disease with a high worldwide prevalence, the lack of consensus about therapeutic management indicates gaps in existing evidence. Most of the proposed treatment consists in symptomatic drugs with empiric regimens which are ineffective for the viral replication. The main limit to realize randomized clinical trial is due to the rapid onset and remission of the disease. In fact, the diagnostic delay, estimated in 72 h, decreases the effectiveness of any antiviral drugs.CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Out of the five studies included in this systematic review, only one was able to provide some weak evidence...

Analysis of Risk Factors for Infusion-Related Reactions Following Rituximab Administration in Patients with Desensitization before Renal Transplantation
In conclusion, the male sex, high actual body weight, BSA, and BMI may be new predictive markers for rituximab-induced IRRs in renal transplant recipients. Therefore, clinicians should carefully monitor patients who receive rituximab before renal transplantation and present with the predictive markers.PMID:37661411 | DOI:10.1248/bpb.b23-00157 (Source: Biological and Pharmaceutical Bulletin)
