Patients with Cohn's disease (CD) treated with thiopurines are at an increased risk of developing cancer. Leukemias are less frequent than other hematopoietic tumors and development of Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) after immunosuppression has not been proven.
We describe the case of a 61-year-old female who developed a CML after 8 years of treatment with azathioprine (AZA) for ileal Crohn's disease associated to a duodenal localization. We reviewed the current evidence on the interactions between CD, CML and AZA as well as the potential underlying mechanisms of leukemia in AZA-treated patients.
We concluded that the pathogenesis of CML is multifactorial in CD. The nature of the association between AZA and CML in CD patients warrants further investigation.

Usage of Artificial intelligence (AI) can help to modify drug discovery based on big data to precised, knowledgeable data. The pharmaceutical companies have already geared their departments for this and started a race to search for new novel drugs. The AI helps to predict the molecular structure of the compound and its in-vivo vs. in-vitro characteristics without hampering life, thus saving time and economic loss. Clinical studies, electronic records, and images act as a helping hand for the development. The data mining and curation techniques help explore the data with a single click. AI in big data analysis has paved the red carpet for future rational drug development and optimization. This review's objective is to familiarise readers with various advances in the AI field concerning software, firms, and other tools working in easing out the labor of the drug discovery journey.Diabetes has become a serious threat to human health, causing death and pain to numerous patients. Transdermal insulin delivery is a substitute for traditional insulin injection to avoid pain from the injection. Transdermal methods include non-invasive and invasive methods. As the non-invasive methods could hardly get through the stratum corneum, minimally invasive devices, especially microneedles, could enhance the transappendageal route in transcutaneous insulin delivery, and could act as connectors between the tissue and outer environment or devices. Microneedle patches have been in quick development in recent years and with different types, materials and functions. In those patches, the smart microneedle patch could perform as a sensor and reactor responding to glucose to regulate the blood level. In the smart microneedles field, the phenylboronic acid system and the glucose oxidase system have been successfully applied on the microneedle platform. Insulin transdermal delivery strategy, microneedles technology and smart microneedles' development would be discussed in this review.One of the major global health care crises in the 21st century is antibiotic resistance. Almost all clinically used antibiotics have resistance emerging to them. buy Finerenone Antibiotic Resistance can be regarded as the 'Faceless Pandemic' that has enthralled the entire world. It has become peremptory to develop treatment options as an alternative to antibiotic therapy for combating antibiotic-resistant pathogens. A clearer understanding of antibiotic resistance is required to prevent the rapid spread of antibiotic-resistant genes and the re-emergence of infections. The present review provides an insight into the different classifications and modes of action of antibiotics to understand how the hosts develop resistance to them. In addition, the association of genetics in the development of antibiotic resistance and environmental factors has also been discussed, emphasizing developing action plans to counter this "quiescent pandemic". It is also pertinent to create models that can predict the early resistance so that treatment strategies may build up in advance with the evolving resistance.The mean global lifetime risk of neurological disorders such as stroke, Alzheimer's disease (AD), and Parkinson's disease (PD) has shown a large effect on economy and society. Researchers are still struggling to find effective drugs to treat neurological disorders and drug delivery through the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a major challenge to be overcome. The BBB is a specialized multicellular barrier between peripheral blood circulation and neural tissue. Unique and selective features of the BBB allow it to tightly control brain homeostasis as well as the movement of ions and molecules. Failure in maintaining any of these substances causes BBB breakdown and subsequently enhances neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. BBB disruption is evident in many neurological conditions. Nevertheless, the majority of currently available therapies have tremendous problems with drug delivery into the impaired brain. Nanoparticle (NP)-mediated drug delivery has been considered a profound substitute to solve this problem. NPs are colloidal systems with a size range of 1-1000 nm which can encapsulate therapeutic payloads, improve drug passage across the BBB, and target specific brain areas in neurodegenerative/ischemic diseases. A wide variety of NPs has been displayed for the efficient brain delivery of therapeutics via intravenous administration, especially when their surfaces are coated with targeting moieties. Here, we discuss recent advances in the development of NP-based therapeutics for the treatment of stroke, PD, and AD, as well as the factors affecting their efficacy after systemic administration.Tumor recurrence is a colossal challenge in clinical oncology. This multifactorial problem is attributed to the emergence of additional genetic mutations and the presence of dormant cancer cells. However, the plasticity of non-stem cancer cells and the acquisition of cancer stem cell (CSC) functionality is another contributing factor to tumor recurrence. Herein, I focus attention on the mechanisms that fuel cancer cell de-differentiation and the interplay between intra-cellular regulators and tumor microenvironment (TME) landscape that promotes cancer cell stemness. Our understanding of the mechanisms underlying tumor cell de-differentiation is crucial for developing innovative therapeutic strategies that prevent cancer from ever recurring.
Chemotherapy for stomach cancer often includes several side effects. The primary reasons for the failure of such treatment approaches are low drug concentrations in target tissues and a short stomach residence time.
Gastroretentive controlled drug delivery systems because of the longer gastric retention time improves the therapeutic performance of chemotherapeutic drugs following oral administration. The goal of this study was to find suitable gastroretentive formulations that might be used for localized treatment of stomach cancer.
The purpose of this study is to summarize current advances in gastro-retentive drug administration for oral chemotherapy, with a focus on floating, mucoadhesive, and swellable systems. This article also discusses the potentials and limitations of existing gastroretentive drug delivery systems used in cancer chemotherapy.
Due to increased stomach retention and modified drug release properties, gastroretentive controlled drug delivery systems improve the therapeutic performance of anti-cancer drugs used to treat stomach cancer.
Gastroretentive drug delivery systems appear to be a promising carrier for localized chemotherapy with smaller doses and better patient compliance. However, selection of drug candidates, drug-food interactions and chemotherapy induced gastric discomfort remain the key characteristics that must be addressed to improve treatment outcomes.

MATERIAL AND METHODS Participants were 50 healthy female and 52 healthy male school children (nursery, primary, junior-high, and high), selected randomly and found eligible from 585 participants originally recruited; participants with diseases/ailments and incomplete questionnaires were excluded. The CHQ-PF50 has 50 questions divided into 13 domains that represent physical and mental well-being; parents gave their retrospective responses from memory. Scores were expressed numerically using a standard algorithm and ranged from 0 to 100; higher scores represented more favorable HRQL outcomes. Summary statistics were performed, and age and sex effects were assessed. RESULTS Mean HRQL domain scores never attained 100 (maximum value). They were lowest (P less then 0.004) for domains of Family Cohesion (66.57), Parental Emotional (77.21), and General Health Perceptions (75.41), while highest (but still significantly less then 100, P less then 0.047) in Physical Functioning (97.11), Role/Social Emotional-Behavioral (96.51), and Role/Social-Physical (96.24). Neither age nor sex significantly affected domain scores. Outcomes were comparable to European and US studies but differed from a previous small-scale Polish study. CONCLUSIONS None of the CHQ-PF50 domain mean values reached the maximum in apparently healthy Polish children. HRQL was lowest in Family Cohesion, Parental Emotional, and General Health Perceptions. Outcomes are considered a useful control baseline in Polish studies on disease.This case demonstrates the value of perioperative point-of-care ultrasound for rapid bedside evaluation and treatment of pulmonary oedema in an infant. A nine-week-old male infant undergoing cleft lip repair received significant intravenous fluid resuscitation for intraoperative hypotension. After uneventful extubation, he developed increased work of breathing and a gradual decline in oxygen saturation despite supplemental oxygen by way of a facemask. Lung point-of-care ultrasound revealed confluent B-lines in multiple lung fields, consistent with pulmonary oedema, likely from fluid overload. He was treated with furosemide resulting in clinical improvement within 30 minutes.The oral cavity serves as another reservoir for gastric Helicobacter pylori and may contribute to the failure of gastric H. pylori eradication therapy. However, changes to the oral microbial composition after gastric H. pylori eradication therapy has not yet been identified. This study aims to dissect whether the oral microbiota is involved and which bacterium mediates the clinic failure in H. pylori eradication. In the present study, the oral microorganisms from patients who had received the gastric H. pylori eradication treatment were analyzed by a high-throughput 16S rRNA deep sequencing. We found that the β diversity and composition of oral microbiota were remarkably changed in the patients who had experienced successful gastric H. pylori eradication treatment (SE group) compared to the failure group (FE group). Significantly enriched families, including Prevotellaceae, Streptococcaceae, Caulobacteraceae, and Lactobacillaceae, were detected in the SE group. In contrast, the bacterial families, such as Weeksellaceae, Neisseriaceae, Peptostreptococcaceae, Spirochaetaceae, and Veillonellaceae, were abundantly expressed in the FE group.
