Clinical effect and safety of pulsed radiofrequency treatment for pudendal ne...Jason Attaman
The document describes a prospective, randomized controlled clinical trial that compared the clinical effect and safety of pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) treatment combined with pudendal nerve block (NB) to NB alone for treating pudendal neuralgia. Eighty patients were randomly assigned to receive either PRF+NB or NB. Pain levels, depression scores, treatment effects, analgesic use, and adverse events were assessed over 3 months. The results showed that PRF+NB provided significantly greater pain relief and improved depression scores compared to NB alone, with no severe adverse events reported for either group.
Spinal anesthesia may be associated with better outcomes than general anesthesia for older adults undergoing hip fracture surgery. A randomized controlled trial assigned over 2,000 patients undergoing hip fracture surgery to either spinal or general anesthesia to evaluate their ability to walk independently 60 days after surgery. The trial found that patients receiving spinal anesthesia were more likely to be alive and walking independently at 60 days compared to those receiving general anesthesia. The results provide evidence that spinal anesthesia may lead to better recovery of mobility outcomes important to patients.

This study compared the clinical effectiveness and safety of pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) treatment combined with pudendal nerve block (NB) versus NB alone for treating pudendal neuralgia. 80 patients were randomly assigned to receive either PRF+NB or NB. Patients in the PRF+NB group had significantly lower pain scores and depression scores at 2 weeks, 1 month, and 3 months compared to the NB group. The PRF+NB group also had higher clinical effectiveness rates and less postoperative analgesic usage. No severe adverse events occurred in either group. The results suggest that PRF+NB provides more long-lasting pain relief and better outcomes for pudendal neuralgia than NB alone.

DDS personalised medicines M.Pharma 1st Sem Pharmaceutics.pptxkushaltegginamani18
The document discusses personalized medicines and customized drug delivery systems. It defines personalized medicine as using genetic profiling and other individual patient characteristics to guide medical treatment. Customized drug delivery systems aim to optimize drug therapy for each patient by controlling dosage and delivery through technologies like bioelectronic medicines, 3D printing of pharmaceuticals, and telepharmacy.
Personalized medicine uses a person's genetic information to guide disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment decisions. Pharmacogenomics studies how a person's genetic variations affect their response to drugs, allowing doctors to select medications and doses tailored to an individual. For example, genetic testing can identify patients likely to experience dangerous reactions to certain drugs like carbamazepine and abacavir, allowing doctors to prescribe alternative medications. New technologies like bioelectronic medicines, 3D printing, and telepharmacy further enable personalized approaches through localized drug delivery, customized dosing, and remote care.
This document discusses prostate cancer screening and treatment. It notes that while some new methods may help distinguish indolent from aggressive cancers, current evidence is not sufficient to change screening practices. The study found that older men with low-risk cancer often received aggressive treatment, and many on conservative management later received androgen deprivation therapy. Screening is only useful if effective treatments exist, but no treatment has proven to improve survival for older men. Limiting PSA screening to those more likely to benefit could prevent overtreatment in older men.
Pharmacovigilance involves monitoring the safety of drugs at all stages, from development through post-marketing. It aims to detect, understand, and prevent adverse drug reactions through activities like adverse event reporting, drug monitoring, and studying medication errors and drug-related deaths. Pharmacovigilance is important for protecting public health as patterns of drug use change over time with globalization and advances in technology and medicine.
Studio sull'efficacia della deep brain stimulation in aggiunta alla terapia m...Merqurio
This randomized controlled trial compared deep brain stimulation plus best medical therapy versus best medical therapy alone for patients with advanced Parkinson's disease. 366 patients were assigned to either immediate surgery and best medical therapy (183 patients) or best medical therapy alone (183 patients). At 1 year follow up, the surgery group showed a mean improvement of 5.0 points on a quality of life scale compared to 0.3 points for the medical therapy alone group, indicating surgery led to better quality of life outcomes. However, surgery also carried risks, with 19% of the surgery group experiencing serious surgery-related adverse events and one procedure-related death. The trial found surgery plus medical management improved quality of life more than medical management alone for advanced Parkinson's disease
This study evaluated the effectiveness of progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) exercises in reducing pain and fatigue among 100 hospitalized cancer patients receiving radiotherapy. The patients were randomly assigned to an intervention group that received four PMR sessions over 4 weeks or a control group that received standard treatment. Pain was measured using a numerical pain rating scale and fatigue was measured using a cancer fatigue scale before and after the intervention. The results showed a significant reduction in reported pain and fatigue scores in the PMR group compared to the control group, indicating that PMR exercises can effectively reduce pain and fatigue in hospitalized cancer patients receiving radiotherapy when used as an adjuvant therapy.

In the present study effect of intrathecal hyperbaric Bupivacaine 0.5% with low doses of Clonidine
or Fentanyl or Dexmedetomidine were compared in elective lower abdominal surgeries. This was a prospective
randomized control trial. 90 patients belonging to ASA 1 &II, aged between 20-50 years were allocated into
three groups. Group-C: Clonidine 30µg, Group-D: Dexmedetomidine 5 µg, Group-F: Fentanyl 25 µg. The
onset of sensory blockade was comparable in all the three groups. The onset of motor blockade was earlier by
about 1.3 mins in Dexmedetomidine group when compared to Clonidine and Fentanyl group. Duration of
sensory blockade was prolonged in Dexmedetomidine group (346mins) when compared to Clonidine (300mins)
and Fentanyl (302mins) group. Time duration of motor blockade was prolonged in Dexmedetomidine group
(269mins) when compared to Clonidine (223mins) and Fentanyl (220mins) group. The haemodynamic
parameters were clinically and statistically insignificant The time of first request for analgesics by the patients
was more in Dexmedetomidine group (250mins) when compared to Clonidine (194mins) and Fentanyl
(189mins) group. The use of intrathecal Dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to Bupivacaine is an attractive
alternative to Fentanyl or Clonidine for long duration surgical procedures due to its profound intrathecal
anesthetic and analgesic properties combined with minimal side effects.
This document summarizes key points from a conference on interrelated autoimmune diseases. It discusses the challenges of determining drug efficacy in clinical trials versus effectiveness in real-world use. For psoriasis treatments, clinical trials only provide a short-term view of efficacy, whereas effectiveness looks at long-term outcomes. A study on psoriasis patients found lower response rates in clinical practice than trials. For IBD treatments, combination therapy with immunosuppressants was more effective than monotherapy in one trial. Clinical trials also show the need for continuous high-dose biologic treatment to reduce antibody development and maintain response.

This document discusses therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), which refers to measuring drug concentrations in biological fluids to optimize drug therapy. TDM aims to maintain drug levels within the therapeutic window to maximize efficacy and minimize toxicity. It is useful for drugs with a narrow therapeutic index, large inter-individual variability, or in patients with organ dysfunction. Common drugs monitored include digoxin, aminoglycosides, phenytoin, and lithium. Factors like absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, drug interactions, and compliance can impact drug levels and require consideration during TDM interpretation. The document outlines the need, suitable/unsuitable drugs, therapeutic ranges, testing methods, and factors affecting TDM.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

69. • Among the various routes of drug
administration, perhaps the least
studied is intracerebroventricular (ICV)
administration.
• This route has been shown to be
particularly useful in administering to
the central nervous system (CNS)
drugs that do not cross the blood-
brain barrier readily.
• As such, the ICV route is a valuable
option for providing therapeutic CNS
drug concentrations diseasesto treat
patients with CNS infectious and
neoplastic .
• This route of drug administration also
has the advantage of minimizing
systemic toxicity.
