Volumetric Microsampling for Patient‐Centric Therapeutic Drug Monitoring in Clinical Pharmacology: A Scoping Review

The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 66, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Accurate drug concentration measurement is essential for precision pharmacotherapy, but conventional therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) requires venous sampling, increasing patient burden, and potentially limiting participation in TDM and model‐informed precision dosing (MIPD).

Increased Risk of Environmental and Endemic Infectious Diseases in Sjögren's Disease: A Retrospective Analysis (2015–2023)

ACR Open Rheumatology, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
Objective Sjögren's disease (SjD) is a chronic autoimmune disease with a complex etiology, where pathogens may influence disease development or progression. Although SjD is not communicable, environmental and endemic pathogen exposures may influence its onset or progression.

Host, vector, and parasite dynamics: exploring intrinsic and extrinsic factors shaping tick‐borne filarial nematode transmission

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1779-1792, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Tick‐borne filarial nematodes are a complex and understudied group of parasites that rely on ticks for transmission in vertebrates. This review examines how intrinsic and extrinsic factors may influence the successful transmission of filarial nematodes in tick vectors, drawing insights from extensively studied haematophagous dipteran vector ...

Low prevalence of epilepsy and onchocerciasis after more than 20 years of ivermectin treatment in the Imo River Basin in Nigeria

Infectious Diseases of Poverty, 2019
Background High epilepsy prevalence and incidence have been reported in areas with high onchocerciasis transmission. Recent findings suggest that proper community-directed treatment with ivermectin (CDTI) is potentially able to prevent onchocerciasis ...

Beyond birds: rethinking bird‐centered pathogen models in light of insect migration

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Migration redistributes biomass, nutrients, and pathogens across ecosystems. For decades, migratory birds have been treated as the default long‐distance pathogen vectors, shaping both conceptual frameworks and empirical models of disease ecology.
