Estimating Illicit Stimulant Drug Consumption in Luxembourg Using Wastewater‐Based Epidemiology

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
Wastewater‐based epidemiology provided nationwide estimates of illicit stimulant consumption in Luxembourg, revealing higher urban use, weekend increases in cocaine and MDMA, and cocaine as the dominant stimulant. The approach offers an objective complement to conventional drug surveillance for informing public health and policy.

Rhabdomyolysis due to isoniazid poisoning resulting from the use of intramuscular pyridoxine

The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics, 2013
Isoniazid is an effective antituberculosis drug. Isoniazid poisoning produces a characteristic clinical syndrome that occurs 30 to 120 minutes after ingestion and includes seizures, metabolic acidosis, and in severe cases, coma.

Isoniazid use, effectiveness, and safety for treatment of latent tuberculosis infection: a systematic review [PDF]

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical
Background: The treatment strategy for latent tuberculosis infection is to reduce the number of tuberculosis cases and consequently reduce the transmission of pathogenic bacteria. This study aimed to determine the safety, effectiveness, and adherence of

Comparative Diagnostic Performance of Three Commercial Real‐Time PCR Assays for the Detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex in Bronchial Washing Specimens: A Large Retrospective Study

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
This large retrospective study compared the diagnostic performance of three commercial real‐time PCR assays (AdvanSure TB/NTM, Cobas MTB, and Xpert MTB/RIF) for MTBC detection in 3348 bronchial washing specimens. In a head‐to‐head comparison of 740 specimens, the Cobas MTB and Xpert MTB/RIF assays showed markedly higher sensitivity than the AdvanSure ...

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 pure red cell aplasia in two siblings

, 1998
Pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) is a rare complication of treatment with isoniazid mainly observed in adults. We report two siblings who had anemia caused Ly PRCA during administration of isoniazid.

Inhibitory Effect of Antituberculosis Drugs on Human Cytochrome P450-Mediated Activities

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2004
The potential for drug-drug interactions mediated by the inhibition of cytochrome P-450 (CYP) were concerned during antituberculosis therapy. However, the information regarding human CYP inhibition by antituberculosis drugs is limited to isoniazid.
