Symptoms of sore throat result from oropharyngeal inflammation, for which prostaglandin E

is a key mediator. Flurbiprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory that provides sore throat relief. The preliminary objective of this study was to develop an in vitro model for assessing prostaglandin E

stimulation by viral and bacterial triggers. The primary objective was to investigate the effect of diluted flurbiprofen-containing lozenges on prostaglandin E

concentrations in stimulated cells.

Prostaglandin E

production was stimulated in three epithelial cell lines (A549, HEp2, and clonetics bronchial/tracheal epithelial) with influenza A virus (4.5 log

tissue culture infectious dose

/mL), or bacterial lipopolysaccharide (10µ g/mL) and peptidoglycan (3µ g/mL) and incubated overnight. Prostaglandin E

levels were assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay up to 24 h after stimulation. The effect of flurbiprofen 8.75 mg lozenges (diluted to 0.44 mg/mL) on PGE

production in stimulated cells was assl p < 0.005) vs stimulated untreated cells.

A549 cells provide a suitable model for assessment of prostaglandin E

stimulation by viral and bacterial triggers. Diluted flurbiprofen-containing lozenges demonstrated rapid anti-inflammatory activity in viral- and lipopolysaccharide/peptidoglycan-stimulated A549 cells.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with hypertension are at high risk of drug therapy problems since they are subject to receive multiple drug therapies due to comorbidities.

To determine the magnitude of drug therapy problems and its determinants among Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with hypertension.

A cross-sectional study was employed among 423 randomly selected participants based on the inclusion criteria. A structured questionnaire and review of patients' medical record were employed in the data collection. The classification system used by Cipolle was used to classify and evaluate drug therapy problems. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the social sciences version 25.0 software. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify determinants of drug therapy problems with a statistical significance of

 ⩽ 0.05.

A total of 491 drug therapy problems with a mean of 1.86 ± 0.53 drug therapy problems per patient were identified, and 62.4% (264) of them experienced at learefore, patient education regarding medication adherence, routine medication review, and strengthening clinical pharmacy services should be promoted.

Approximately three out of five patients had one or more drug therapy problems encountered. In this study, the most common types of drug therapy problems were non-compliance, needs additional drug therapy, and dosage too low. Family monthly income, age, comorbidities, and number of medications were the significant determinants of drug therapy problems. SNX2112 Therefore, patient education regarding medication adherence, routine medication review, and strengthening clinical pharmacy services should be promoted.

In ruminants, dietary C183n-3 can be lost through biohydrogenation in the rumen; and C183n-3 that by-passes the rumen still can be lost through oxidation in muscle, theoretically reducing the deposition of C183n-3, the substrate for synthesis of poly-unsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LCPUFA) in muscle.

studies have shown that rumen hydrogenation of C183n-3 is reduced by supplementation with palm oil (rich in

9 C181). In addition, in hepatocytes, studies with neonatal rats have shown that

9 C181 inhibits the oxidation of C183n-3. It therefore seems likely that palm oil could reduce both rumen biohydrogenation of C183n-3 and muscle oxidation of C183n-3. The present experiment tested whether the addition of palm oil to a linseed oil supplement for goat kids would prevent the losses of C183n-3 and thus improve the FA composition in two muscles,

and

. To investigate the processes involved, we studied the rumen bacterial communities and measured the mRNA expression of genes related to lipid metabolism in

genes related to C183n-3 oxidation in muscle, and by up-regulating mRNA expression of genes related to n-3 LCPUFA synthesis in muscle, especially in Longissimus dorsi.

Small randomized trials of early postoperative oral nutritional supplementation (ONS) suggest various health benefits following colorectal surgery (CRS). However, real-world evidence of the impact of early ONS on clinical outcomes in CRS is lacking.

Using a nationwide administrative-financial database (Premier Healthcare Database), we examined the association between early ONS use and postoperative clinical outcomes in patients undergoing elective open or laparoscopic CRS between 2008 and 2014. Early ONS was defined as the presence of charges for ONS before postoperative day (POD) 3. The primary outcome was composite infectious complications. Key secondary efficacy (intensive care unit (ICU) admission and gastrointestinal complications) and falsification (blood transfusion and myocardial infarction) outcomes were also examined. Propensity score matching was used to assemble patient groups that were comparable at baseline, and differences in outcomes were examined.

Overall, patients receiving early ONS wS was more likely to be utilized in elderly patients with greater comorbidities, the use of early ONS was associated with reduced infectious complications, pneumonia, ICU admission, and gastrointestinal complications. This propensity score-matched study using real-world data suggests that clinical outcomes are improved with early ONS use, a simple and inexpensive intervention in CRS patients.

Antipsychotics are associated with a range of side-effects that can influence patients' subjective well-being negatively resulting in poor adherence. In order to limit the negative consequences of side-effects, they should be regularly systematically assessed. The aim of this study was to systematically assess antipsychotic side-effects in an inpatient cohort using validated rating scales.

Eligible individuals prescribed an antipsychotic for at least 2 weeks were invited to have their side-effects assessed systematically.

A total of 208 individuals were assessed systematically for antipsychotic side-effects; 71.5% (

 = 138) stated that they had not reported side-effects to their clinician prior to the assessment. The most commonly reported side-effects were daytime drowsiness (75%), dry mouth (58.2%) and weight gain (50.0%), while the most distressing side-effects reported were erectile dysfunction (35.0%), sexual dysfunction (26.3%) and amenorrhoea (26.3%). There was no evidence of an association between side-effect severity/number of side-effects reported/distress caused by those taking high dose/combination antipsychotics

standard dose monotherapy.
