Prescription and drug order writing are key components of patient care allowing physicians communicate their therapeutic plans. Although electronic prescriptions are becoming more common, handwritten prescriptions are still quite prevalent and a persistent issue with handwritten prescriptions is the illegibility of physician handwritings. Prescriptions have to be legible to avoid delays in healthcare provision and consequences as serious as patient death.

Cyclic 3', 5'-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is a major signaling hub in cardiac physiology. Although cAMP signaling has been extensively studied in cardiac cells and animal models of heart failure (HF), not much is known about its actual amount present inside human failing or non-failing cardiomyocytes. Since many drugs used in HF work via cAMP, it is crucial to determine the status of its intracellular levels in failing vs. normal human hearts.

Biliary tract carcinoma (BTC) is a heterogenous group of aggressive hepatic malignancies, second to hepatocellular carcinoma per prevalence. Despite clinical research advancement, the overall 5-year survival rate is just above 2%. With the identification of somatic core mutations in half of cholangiocarcinomas. In the intrahepatic subtype (iCCA), it is possible to target mutational pathways of pharmacological interest.

Thiopurine toxicity is related to genetic polymorphism. Thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) variants do not explain thiopurine toxicity in more than half of patients. Asians, despite the low prevalence of TPMT variants, are more susceptible to thiopurine toxicity. Since 2014, studies from many Asian countries have shown a strong association between nucleoside diphosphate-linked moiety X-type motif (NUDT) 15 polymorphism and thiopurine-induced myelotoxicity.

Circadian rhythm influences the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a number of drugs and affects their therapeutic efficacy and toxicity depending on the time of day they are administered.

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a widespread disease that can be associated with other conditions, including conjunctivitis, rhinosinusitis, asthma, food allergy, and atopic dermatitis. Diagnosis is based on the history and documentation of sensitization, such as the production of allergen-specific IgE, preferably using molecular diagnostics.

Oral anticoagulants (OACs) should generally be continued lifelong in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) to ensure optimal benefits, unless contraindications arise. However, discontinuation of OACs might occur for various reasons, potentially affecting clinical outcomes. In this review, we synthesized evidence on the clinical outcomes following OAC discontinuation in patients with AF.
