Synergistic Enhancement of Antioxidant Activity in Arbutus unedo Leaf Extract by Biological Fluids: Implications for Functional and Nutraceutical Applications

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examined the effect of biological fluids (saliva, blood plasma, and urine) on the antioxidant capacity of an aqueous extract derived from Arbutus unedo leaves. The extract displayed a concentration‐dependent reducing activity in the ferric reducing power assay (IC50 = 292 ± 7.54 µg/mL) and phosphomolybdenum assays (IC50 = 461.67 ± 4.

Secondhand smoke exposure in public outdoor spaces in the Netherlands: The stronger the smell, the more exposure to nicotine

Tobacco Induced Diseases
Introduction While secondhand smoke exposure in outdoor spaces has been investigated before, no data on outdoor secondhand smoke exposure have been collected in the Netherlands. Such data could help policymakers gain support for smoke-free outdoor public

Exploring new avenues: Psychedelic‐assisted therapy for young people

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Rates of mental illness in young people are increasing, whereas the development of novel mental health treatments has not significantly progressed. Psychedelic‐assisted therapy, using substances such as psilocybin and 3,4‐methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), has shown potential in the treatment of mental illnesses in the adult population, including ...

Applying machine learning to pharmacovigilance data: A proof‐of‐concept study

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim Machine learning (ML) applications in pharmacovigilance remain limited and underexplored. Using data from the French National pharmacovigilance database (FNPV), this proof‐of‐concept study aimed to assess the feasibility of using a ML algorithm—eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost)—combined with SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) analysis, to ...

Semaglutide vs. liraglutide and incidence of diabetes and cardiovascular disease: A target trial emulation using real‐world data

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims The glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1 RAs) semaglutide and liraglutide are approved for chronic weight management. Both drugs also have favourable effects on the risk of developing diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared with placebo, but their comparative effectiveness for these outcomes is unclear.

Clinical relevance of pharmacogenomic information for improving prescribing practices in acutely admitted older medical patients

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Safe prescribing and effective medication review during acute hospitalization depends on accurate information about liver and kidney function because these organs are responsible for the elimination of most medications. While estimates for kidney function are widely used, comparable markers of hepatic drug‐metabolizing capacity are not routinely ...

Understanding Plant Parasitism: Hydnora Africana and European Scientific Practice in the Early Nineteenth Century**

Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte, EarlyView.
This article will analyze the uncertainties around collecting and classifying Hydnora africana in the first half of the nineteenth century. Emerging from the distinctive dryland ecologies of South Africa, Hydnora was interpreted as strange and cryptic by Europeans primarily because it is a root parasite—a complex floral trait that was little understood.
