Older patients' prescriptions screening in the community pharmacy: development of the Ghent Older People's Prescriptions community Pharmacy Screening (GheOP3S) tool [PDF]
Background: Ageing of the population often leads to polypharmacy. Consequently, potentially inappropriate prescribing (PIP) becomes more frequent. Systematic screening for PIP in older patients in primary care could yield a large improvement in health ...

Cyanide Beyond Toxicity: A Systematic Review of Its Effects on Vascular Function
ABSTRACT Cyanide is widely recognized for its potent toxicity, yet evidence shows that concentrations below 1 μM may enhance cytochrome c oxidase activity and have a regulatory function. Recent findings also demonstrate that mammalian cells, including endothelial cells, produce cyanide endogenously, where it can modulate mitochondrial bioenergetics ...
