Pain following most surgical procedures is expected. However, the treatment and management of postoperative surgical pain have remained challenging. The use of opioid therapy has become increasingly controversial given the limited therapeutic window of these drugs, the adverse side effects, and the potential for abuse.

Several guidelines advise to monitor therapeutic LMWH therapy with peak anti-Xa concentrations in renal insufficiency with subsequent dose adjustments. A better understanding of the clinical association between peak anti-Xa concentrations and clinical outcomes is mandatory, because misunderstanding this association could lead to erroneous, and potentially even harmful, LMWH dose adjustments

Childhood asthma is a complex heterogenous inflammatory disease that can pose a large burden on patients and their caregivers. There is a strong need to adapt asthma treatment to the individual patient taking into account underlying inflammatory profiles, moving from a ‘one size fits all’ approach toward a much-needed personalized approach.

Platelets play a key role in arterial thrombosis and antiplatelet therapy is pivotal in the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Current antiplatelet drugs target different pathways of platelet activation and show specific pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic characteristics, implicating clinically relevant drug–drug interactions.

There are inconsistent findings regarding the effect of lipid-lowering agents on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is an important player in cholesterol homeostasis and intracellular lipogenesis, and PCSK9 inhibitors (PCSK9-i) have been found to be efficient for pharmacological management of hyperlipidemia.

Psoriasis is an inflammatory, chronic and immune-mediated disease that can affect the skin and joints. Pro-inflammatory cytokines have a dominant role in the pathogenesis of this heterogeneous disease in which the IL-23/IL-17 axis plays a crucial role. The IL-17 family is involved in numerous processes such as immune defense, intestinal disorders and diseases of the central nervous system.

Drug repurposing represented an important contribution in the management of COVID-19, becoming the first line of defense to mitigate the effects of the new coronavirus. In a brief time, drug repurposing (DR) provided potentially effective and already available drugs for COVID-19, while specific therapies against SARS-CoV-2 and/or vaccines were developing. Identifying repurposed drugs requires a multidisciplinary approach, where clinical pharmacology represents the missing piece of the puzzle.

Dupilumab is approved for multiple type 2 inflammatory diseases. In the treatment procedure, the changes of IgE levels need further analysis. We evaluated the changes of IgE levels through meta-analysis, aiming to provide a more comprehensive result.

Patients with inflammatory bowel disease were excluded from trials that led to the approval of anti-COVID-19 vaccines and are worthy of real-life studies providing information on the safety of these vaccines in this clinical setting.

Off-label drug use embodies a thorough clinical diagnosis and evaluation of treatment needs and should not be confused with unreasonable drug use, but it also faces potential risks with drug safety and legal issues.
