Imipenem-cilastatin, a carbapenem antibiotic, is commonly used for severe bacterial infections. While generally well-tolerated, it can rarely cause central nervous system toxicity, including seizures. We have, herein, reported case of imipenem-cilastatin-induced seizure in 20-year-old patient.

The purpose of this study was to assess the effect short-term resistance training and two weeks tapering on physical performances in handball players. Following a ten-week progressive program, subjects were divided between an experimental (n = 10) control group 10). completed followed by two-week period when intensity tapered 60%, while maintained their typical pattern training. Muscle power (force-velocity test squat counter-movement jump tests), sprinting ability (10m 30m), change...

While the existing literature extensively covers topic of tacrolimus variability, it remains crucial to gather data that are tailored Tunisian population. Our primary goal was assess variability in bioavailability using Cp(0)/weight dosage ratio kidney transplant patients. We also aimed determine correlations between blood trough level (Cp(0)) and area under concentration-time curve (AUC0-12 h) this cohort.

This study examined the effects of incorporating 8 weeks biweekly upper limb loaded plyometric training (elastic band) into in-season regimen handball players.
