Isoniazid-Induced Acute Psychosis in a Patient with Pleural Tuberculosis

Case Reports in Psychiatry, 2019
Tuberculosis is one of the top 10 causes of death and the leading cause from a single infectious agent (above HIV/AIDS). Isoniazid is highly bactericidal against replicating tubercle bacilli and is a component of all antituberculous chemotherapeutic ...

Is It an Intrapericardial Mass or a Localized Pericardial Effusion? A Case Report of Tuberculous Pericarditis Evaluated by Multimodal Imaging

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
Tuberculous pericarditis is a common type of pericarditis, but it is difficult to be diagnosed. The application of combined transesophageal echocardiography, contrast echocardiography, and CT multimodal imaging provides sufficient clinical diagnosis basis and guidance for distinguishing encapsulated pericardial effusion or mass.

Assessing whether isoniazid is essential during the first 14 days of tuberculosis therapy: a phase 2a, open-label, randomised controlled trial

The Lancet Microbe, 2020
Summary: Background: Clinical studies suggest that isoniazid contributes rapid bacterial killing during the initial 2 days of tuberculosis treatment, but that the activity of isoniazid declines substantially after day 3 of treatment.

Calpain Proteases and the Evolving Signaling Network in Insect Embryonic Patterning

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
Insect embryonic Dorsal‐Ventral (DV) patterning relies on the BMP and Toll pathways to different extents. Calcium‐dependent cystein proteases of the Calpain family also exert an important function to pattern the DV axis. In Drosophila, Calpain A cleaves the Cactus/IkappaB inhibitor and modifies Toll signals in ventral regions of the embryo. In Rhodnius

Isoniazid-induced flu-like syndrome: A rare side effect

Lung India, 2013
Drug-induced flu-like syndrome is very rare. It is mainly produced by rifampicin. We report a case of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) that developed isoniazid-induced flu-like syndrome, but could be cured with a modified regimen replacing isoniazid with ...

Hereditary angioedema as a cause of recurrent abdominal pain in a pediatric patient with Crohn's disease

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare genetic condition caused by deficient or dysfunctional C1 inhibitor protein (C1INH) resulting in episodic angioedema of the skin, upper airway, and gastrointestinal tract. HAE most often presents within the first two decades of life and may cause severe abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, and emesis, making ...

Characteristics of drug-resistant tuberculosis in Abkhazia (Georgia), a high-prevalence area in Eastern Europe [PDF]

, 2009
Although multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis (TB) is a major public health problem in Eastern Europe, the factors contributing to emergence, spread and containment of MDR-TB are not well defined. Here, we analysed the characteristics of drug-resistant

Nanoparticle‐Based Tetracycline Delivery Systems: Advancing Therapeutic Effectiveness and Tackling Antibiotic Resistance

Particle &Particle Systems Characterization, EarlyView.
This review explores improved tetracycline (TCN) delivery via polymer‐based nanocarriers to enhance solubility, stability, and targeted release. It also covers stimuli‐responsive systems, triggered by pH, enzymes, or reactive oxygen species (ROS), and co‐delivery approaches that increase therapeutic efficacy in cancer and inflammatory diseases ...
