Topical nitroglycerin for management of peripheral extravasation of vasopressors: a case report
Peripheral route for administration of vasopressors is often opted due to resource limitations or as a rescue until central venous access is established. This, however, is not devoid of complications, the most common being extravasation and tissue injury.

Enhanced Drug Effect With Cutting Balloon Followed by Drug Coated Balloon in a Rabbit Model
ABSTRACT Background Drug‐coated balloon (DCB) are effective treatment options for patients with coronary artery disease and using of scoring or cutting balloon before the DCB usage were recommended. However, the effectiveness of lesion preparation with cutting balloons (CB) followed by DCB (CB + DCB) has not been evaluated before.

Vasodilator Therapy: Nitrates and Nicorandil. [PDF]
Nitrates have been used to treat symptoms of chronic stable angina for over 135 years. These drugs are known to activate nitric oxide (NO)-cyclic guanosine-3',-5'-monophasphate (cGMP) signaling pathways underlying vascular smooth muscle cell relaxation ...

Drug prescription clusters in the UK Biobank: An assessment of drug-drug interactions and patient outcomes in a large patient cohort [PDF]
In recent decades, there has been an increase in polypharmacy, the concurrent administration of multiple drugs per patient. Studies have shown that polypharmacy is linked to adverse patient outcomes and there is interest in elucidating the exact causes behind this observation.

Although attractive for relevance to real‐world scenarios, real‐world data (RWD) is typically used for drug repurposing and not therapeutic target discovery. Repurposing studies have identified few effective options in neurological diseases such as the rare disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which has no disease‐modifying treatments ...

Graph Distance Neural Networks for Predicting Multiple Drug Interactions [PDF]
Since multidrug combination is widely applied, the accurate prediction of drug-drug interaction (DDI) is becoming more and more critical. In our method, we use graph to represent drug-drug interaction: nodes represent drug; edges represent drug-drug interactions.

Drug-therapy networks and the predictions of novel drug targets [PDF]
Recently, a number of drug-therapy, disease, drug, and drug-target networks have been introduced. Here we suggest novel methods for network-based prediction of novel drug targets and for improvement of drug efficiency by analysing the effects of drugs on the robustness of cellular networks.

Comparison of diltiazem and nifedipine alone and in combination in patients with coronary artery spasm [PDF]
Fifteen patients with coronary artery spasm completed a double-blind placebo-controlled trial comparing diltiazem and nifedipine. Increasingly, higher daily doses (diltiazem, 90 to 360 mg; nifedipine, 30 to 120 mg) were administered to achieve optimal ...

Cold EI—The Way to Improve GC‐MS and Increase Its Range of Applications
ABSTRACT Gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry (GC‐MS) with Cold electron ionization (EI) is based on interfacing the GC and MS with a supersonic molecular beam (SMB) along with electron ionization of vibrationally cold sample compounds in the SMB in a contact‐free fly‐through ion source (hence the name Cold EI).
