Increasing the reporting of adverse drug reaction‐related hospitalizations using an ICD‐10‐based identification workflow: A multicentre study from Switzerland

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 92, Issue 8, Page 2937-2948, August 2026.
Background Reporting adverse drug reactions (ADRs) is essential for drug safety. In Switzerland, healthcare professionals are legally required to report serious and unlabelled ADRs, yet under‐reporting remains widespread. We tested a novel method to increase reporting of ADR‐related hospitalizations.

Goniothalamin as a Styryl‐Lactone Toxicophore in Cancer Models: Electrophile‐Driven DNA Damage, Reactive Oxygen Species–Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Signaling and Detoxification‐Relevant Safety Considerations

Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, Volume 40, Issue 8, August 2026.
Goniothalamin (GTN) exerts anticancer effects by promoting reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, glutathione (GSH) depletion, DNA damage, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction. These interconnected events trigger apoptosis, necroptosis, anoikis, and autophagy, while modulating mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK ...

Antiprotozoal and molluscicidal activities of five Brazilian plants [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2005
Leishmaniasis, Chagas' disease and schistosomiasis (bilharzia) are parasitic diseases with wide distribution on the American continent, affecting millions of people. In the present study, biological assays for antiprotozoal and molluscicidal activities were carried out with ethanolic extracts of plant species from the Brazilian part of the Upper Paraná

Synthesis, Electrochemistry, In Vitro Antiprotozoal Efficacy and Mechanistic Study of Novel ‘Ferrantoin’ and Related Derivatives

Applied Organometallic Chemistry, Volume 40, Issue 7, July 2026.
1,2‐Disubstituted ferrocene analogues bearing hydantoin or rhodanine synthons were synthesised and assessed for antitrypanosomatid activity. An antileishmanial early lead, analogue 23, acting through ROS generation and hence oxidative stress, was uncovered.

Interplay Between Infectious Diseases and the Endocrine System: An Overview and Clinical Insights

Endocrinology, Diabetes &Metabolism, Volume 9, Issue 4, July 2026.
Infectious diseases can disrupt endocrine homeostasis through direct cytopathic injury, autoimmune dysregulation, or pathogen‐derived hormone‐like effects. Viruses and bacteria are the most frequent agents, whereas fungi and parasites contribute less commonly, even remaining clinically relevant, especially in the immunocompromised population.
