Limited evidence exists synthesizing the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) associated with the concomitant administration of multiple nephrotoxic drugs, and even less examining the concept of nephrotoxic burden. The objective of this scoping review was to (1) identify definitions of nephrotoxic burden; (2) methods used to quantify (use of calculations)

ABSTRACT Background Tolvaptan promotes electrolyte‐free water excretion and is widely used in Asia for ascites, but in Western countries its use is limited to hyponatremia because of hepatotoxicity concerns. Methods We performed a retrospective cohort study using the TriNetX Research Network, emulating a target trial of cirrhotic patients with ...

Efavirenz and CYP2C9 Genetic Polymorphisms Reduce CYP2C9 Activity in Healthy Participants
ABSTRACT Efavirenz's effects on cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) activity have not been formally characterized in vivo. We conducted the first clinical drug–drug interaction (DDI) study to test the effect of chronic efavirenz dosing on CYP2C9 activity, using tolbutamide as a selective probe.

Predictors of a Gabapentinoid–Loop‐Diuretic Prescribing Cascade in U.S. Nursing Home Residents
Among 23,544 older adult long‐stay nursing home residents who initiated a gabapentinoid in the nursing home (2016–2022), 4.2% experienced a loop diuretic prescribing cascade within 90 days. Predictors of the prescribing cascade included older age, higher medication burden (≥ 15 medications), current receipt of non‐loop diuretics, and titration of ...

Slope of the anterior mitral valve leaflet: A new measurement of left ventricular unloading for left ventricular assist devices and systolic dysfunction [PDF]
Left ventricular assist device (LVAD)-supported patients are evaluated routinely with use of transthoracic echocardiography. Values of left ventricular unloading in this unique patient population are needed to evaluate LVAD function and assist in patient
