Why have SGLT2 Inhibitors Failed to Achieve the Desired Success in COVID-19?
This article aims to uncover the reasons for the confusion in the literature and to unravel why SGLT2i failed to succeed in COVID-19 based on some solid evidence as well as speculative and personal perspectives.PMID:38566383 | DOI:10.2174/0113816128300162240322075423 (Source: Current Pharmaceutical Design)

Vitamin D loaded into lipid nanoparticles shows insulinotropic effect in INS-1E cells
Eur J Pharm Sci. 2024 Apr 1:106758. doi: 10.1016/j.ejps.2024.106758. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIncreasing evidence suggests a beneficial role of vitamin D (VitD) supplementation in addressing the widespread VitD deficiency, but currently used VitD3 formulations present low bioavailability and toxicity constrains. Hence, poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs), solid-lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) were investigated to circumvent these issues. PLGA NPs prepared by emulsification or nanoprecipitation presented 74 or 200 nm, and association efficiency (AE) of 68 % and 17...

The Critical Role of Intracellular Bacterial Communities in Uncomplicated Recurrent Urinary Cystitis: A Comprehensive Review of Detection Methods and Diagnostic Potential
Int Neurourol J. 2024 Mar;28(1):4-10. doi: 10.5213/inj.2448066.033. Epub 2024 Mar 31.ABSTRACTUrinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common bacterial infections worldwide and are particularly prevalent in women. Recurrent UTIs significantly diminish quality of life due to their symptoms and frequent relapses. Patients often experience immediate relapse following slightly strenuous activities or intense psychological stress. In this review, we explore why infections persist despite the advent of various treatments and suggest strategies to manage recurrent cystitis by targeting the mechanisms of adhesion and infe...
