Identification and Characterization of the Designer Opioid N‐Pyrrolidino Fluetonitazene in Nasal Spray

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
N‐Pyrrolidino fluetonitazene, a synthetic opioid, was identified and characterized in a nasal spray using GC‐MS, LC‐QTOF‐MS, NMR and FT‐IR. ABSTRACT Detection of drugs in non‐biological samples serves as a fundamental basis for identifying emerging trends in the field of new psychoactive substances and provides valuable information for optimizing ...

Postoperative Management of Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps: Impact of High-Dose Corticosteroid Nasal Spray

International Archives of Otorhinolaryngology, 2019
Introduction Eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (ECRS) is characterized by an eosinophilic inflammation driven by Th2-type cytokines. Glucocorticosteroids are the most common first-line treatment for ECRS with nasal polyps.

Systematic statistical analysis of change in SEIzure interVAL with diazepam nasal spray supports this novel clinical endpoint for immediate‐use seizure medication

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Appropriate endpoints for daily antiseizure medications may differ from those for intermittent, immediate‐use seizure medications (ISMs). The observed interval between seizure clusters over time (SEIzure interVAL [SEIVAL]) has been proposed as a novel effectiveness endpoint for ISMs.

Status epilepticus: Updates on mechanisms and treatments

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Status epilepticus (SE) consists of prolonged, self‐sustaining seizures and is a common neurological emergency that causes respiratory compromise and neuronal injury. Without prompt treatment, the seizures can become resistant to benzodiazepines, leading to the progressive evolution of established, refractory, and super‐refractory SE.
