Chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus (CKD-aP) is often experienced by patients with CKD receiving dialysis. Approximately 40% of hemodialysis patients are ‘moderately’ to ‘extremely bothered’ by itching, associated with reduced quality of life, poor sleep quality, and depression as well as worse clinical outcomes, including increased medication use, infections, hospitalizations, and mortality.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) represent an innovative therapeutic approach of oncologic diseases. In Europe, this therapeutic class currently includes eight agents: ipilimumab, pembrolizumab, nivolumab, atezolizumab, avelumab, cemiplimab, durvalumab and dostarlimab. Despite their proved clinical benefits, they can induce immune-related adverse events (irADRs), that can also involve the nervous system.

Extraction of impacted molar teeth is a common procedure performed by oral surgeons and general dentists, with postoperative pain being a significant adverse event post-surgery. If mismanaged, pain can lead to complications that impact oral and systemic health. The current scourge of the opioid epidemic has ushered in a new era of provider-directed analgesic (PDA) therapy in dentistry.

Immunoassay urine drug screen (UDS) is frequently used in clinical practice for initial screening process, being generally available, fast, and inexpensive. Exposure to widely prescribed drugs might determine false-positive UDS amphetamines, leading to diagnostic issues, wrong therapeutic choices, impairment of physician–patient relationship, and legal implications.

Isoniazid (INH) plays an important role in prevention and treatment of tuberculosis (TB). However, large pharmacokinetic (PK) variations are observed in patients receiving standard INH dosages. Considering the influence of PK variations on INH efficacy or adverse reactions, we reviewed the population PK studies of INH and explored significant covariates that influence INH PK.
