What is known and objective Bullous pemphigoid has been reported in association with gliptins. We describe a case, review the literature analyse all cases of bullous recorded European pharmacovigilance database, EudraVigilance. Case summary A 74-year-old woman, treated vildagliptin/metformin for 12 months, developed pemphigoid, confirmed by skin biopsy. The symptoms resolved within 7 months after withdrawal. new conclusion search EudraVigilance showed disproportionality gliptins, except...

The COVID-19 pandemic spread rapidly worldwide in the year 2020, which was initially restrained by drastic mobility restrictions. In this work, we investigated use of illicit drugs (amphetamine, methamphetamine, ecstasy, cocaine and cannabis), licit substances abuse (alcohol tobacco) during earlier months (March–July 2020) restrictions four Spanish (Bilbao its metropolitan area, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Castellón Santiago de Compostela) two Portuguese (Porto Vila do Conde) locations wastewater-based...

Abstract Background: Scoring scales such as the Anticholinergic Drug Scale (ADS), Risk (ARS), and Cognitive Burden (ACB) provide an estimation of total anticholinergic burden. Not all lists include same drugs, points given for certain drugs differ among them. Whether these discrepancies present important differences in burden individual patient is unknown. Therefore, aim this study to assess agreement three scales. Method: was measured with 83 patients aged ≥65 years a medium‐ long‐stay...

Almost all antipsychotics have been associated with a risk of epileptic seizure provocation. Among the first-generation (FGA) chlorpromazine appears to be greatest seizures among second-generation (SGA) clozapine is thought most likely cause convulsions. This information largely based on studies that are not sufficiently controlled. Besides, about newer scarce.The Pharmacovigilance Unit Basque Country (network centers Spanish System, SEFV) provided reporting data for adverse reactions (AR)...

Micropollutants monitoring in wastewater can serve as a picture of what is consuming society and how it impact the aquatic environment. In this work, suspect screening approach was used to detect known unknown contaminants samples collected from two treatment plants (WWTPs) located Basque Country (Crispijana Alava, Galindo Vizcaya) during weekly sampling campaigns, which included months April July 2020, part confinement period caused by COVID-19. To that aim, high-resolution mass...

Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) has become an invaluable tool for tracking the evolution of use or exposure of/to numerous substances. Bisphenols, commonly utilized in manufacturing plastic goods, have been categorized as endocrine disrupting chemicals, underscoring critical need real-time data on their local-level to safeguard public health. In this study, we developed a novel analytical method and WBE framework assessment population-level bisphenol A (BPA) its most prominent...

Domperidone, a dopamine antagonist that does not easily cross the blood–brain barrier, is considered gold standard for treating gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with Parkinson´s disease (PD) because risk of developing extrapyramidal adverse effects minimal. On other hand, cardiotoxicity related to domperidone new issue. In fact, arrhythmias, sudden death and cardiac arrest were reported high intravenous doses 80s. Concern about oral has arisen more recently after publication two...

The association between sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) and cancer risk is unclear. objective of this study was to analyze whether a disproportionate number cases bladder are reported for SGLT2is in EudraVigilance. A case/noncase conducted assess the SGLT2is, calculating reporting odds ratios (RORs) from November 11, 2012 (approval date first SGLT2i, dapagliflozin) May 19, 2020. First, involving were compared with those all other drugs; similar analysis performed each...
