Automating AI Discovery for Biomedicine Through Knowledge Graphs and Large Language Models Agents

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
This work proposes a novel framework that automates biomedical discovery by integrating knowledge graphs with multiagent large language models. A biologically aligned graph exploration strategy identifies hidden pathways between biomedical entities, and specialized agents use this pathway to iteratively design AI predictors and wet‐lab validation ...

The impact of simvastatin on pulmonary effectors of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The statin family of cholesterol-lowering drugs is known to have pleiotropic properties which include anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. Statins exert their pleiotropic effects by altering expression of human immune regulators including pro ...

Prescribing competence: The pros and cons of different methods for assessment

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Evaluating a medical graduate’s competence in rational prescribing is challenging. With the aim to guide and inspire teachers, this narrative review explores different methods that can be used to assess prescribing competence. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages, and thus a mix of different assessment methods is needed throughout the ...

The quantitative impact of metabolism‐inhibiting drugs on the occurrence of adverse drug reactions—A backward selection approach

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim The quantitative effect of several inhibitory drugs on the development of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) is currently difficult to estimate. Our aim was to identify metabolic pathways, which, when inhibited, increase the risk for certain ADRs, and to use this system to consider comedication at individual level. Methods Data of a prospective

The interplay between molecular architecture, pharmacology, and suspected adverse drug reactions associated with nonsteroidal androgen antagonists in the United Kingdom

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims This work aimed to correlate potential links between the suspected adverse drug reaction (ADR) profile of licensed nonsteroidal androgen receptor antagonists (NSARA) with their unique chemical properties and known off‐target polypharmacology. Methods Physicochemical and polypharmacology data were curated from the Electronic Medicines Compendium ...

Patients on statins with elevated transaminases: Frequency of follow‐up creatine kinase testing and gastroenterology referral

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To quantify how often creatine kinase (CK) is measured after newly elevated aminotransferases in statin users, and whether absent CK data are associated with gastroenterology (GI) referrals. Methods Retrospective chart review of adult outpatients on statins with a first alanine/aspartate aminotransferase (ALT/AST) elevation during a 5 ...

Paraoxonase-1 and Simvastatin Treatment in Patients with Stable Coronary Artery Disease

International Journal of Vascular Medicine, 2016
Background. Paraoxonase-1 (PON1) is the crucial antioxidant marker of high-density lipoproteins. The present study is aimed at assessing the effect of simvastatin treatment on PON1 activity and its relationship to Q192R and M55L polymorphisms in subjects
