Targets of drugs are generally, and targets of drugs having side effects are specifically good spreaders of human interactome perturbations [PDF]
Network-based methods are playing an increasingly important role in drug design. Our main question in this paper was whether the efficiency of drug target proteins to spread perturbations in the human interactome is larger if the binding drugs have side effects, as compared to those which have no reported side effects.

Fixed drug eruption and anaphylaxis induced concurrently by erdosteine: a case report
Background Erdosteine is used as a mucolytic agent and has a low incidence of adverse drug reactions, most of which are gastrointestinal and mild. Moreover, drug antigens rarely induce multiple simultaneous immunologic reactions.

Precision Anti-Cancer Drug Selection via Neural Ranking [PDF]
Personalized cancer treatment requires a thorough understanding of complex interactions between drugs and cancer cell lines in varying genetic and molecular contexts. To address this, high-throughput screening has been used to generate large-scale drug response data, facilitating data-driven computational models.

A statistical analysis of drug seizures and opioid overdose deaths in Ohio from 2014 to 2018 [PDF]
This paper examines the association between police drug seizures and drug overdose deaths in Ohio from 2014 to 2018. We use linear regression, ARIMA models, and categorical data analysis to quantify the effect of drug seizure composition and weight on drug overdose deaths, to quantify the lag between drug seizures and overdose deaths, and to compare ...

Relation-aware graph structure embedding with co-contrastive learning for drug-drug interaction prediction [PDF]
Relation-aware graph structure embedding is promising for predicting multi-relational drug-drug interactions (DDIs). Typically, most existing methods begin by constructing a multi-relational DDI graph and then learning relation-aware graph structure embeddings (RaGSEs) of drugs from the DDI graph.

CongFu: Conditional Graph Fusion for Drug Synergy Prediction [PDF]
Drug synergy, characterized by the amplified combined effect of multiple drugs, is critically important for optimizing therapeutic outcomes. Limited data on drug synergy, arising from the vast number of possible drug combinations and testing costs, motivate the need for predictive methods.

Frequency of severe reactions following penicillin drug provocation tests: A Bayesian meta‐analysis
Background Patients with a penicillin allergy label tend to have worse clinical outcomes and increased healthcare use. Drug provocation tests (DPT) are the gold‐standard in the diagnostic workup of penicillin allergy, but safety concerns may hinder their

In silico identification of clinically approved medicines against the main protease of SARS-CoV-2, causative agent of covid-19 [PDF]
The COVID-19 pandemic triggered by SARS-CoV-2 is a worldwide health disaster. Main protease is an attractive drug target among coronaviruses, due to its vital role in processing the polyproteins that are translated from the viral RNA. There is presently no exact drug or treatment for this diseases caused by SARS-CoV-2.
