Background: Multiple drug intolerance syndrome (MDIS) describes patients with multiple nonimmunologically mediated adverse reactions to medications. Patients with more than 10 medication intolerance labels are considered to have severe MDIS. There is overlap in the characteristics of patients with MDIS and fibromyalgia and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Severe MDIS can limit treatment options in this already complex patient group.
Objective: This study assessed the prevalence of severe MDIS in patients with fibromyalgia and IBS and its associated risk factors.
Methods: A retrospective chart review identified patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia or IBS who had been seen at a large academic center from August 2019 to July 2020. Exact birthdate- and sex-matched controls who had been seen within the same time frame were selected at random. Listed drug intolerance data and patient characteristics were then analyzed with logistic regression and χ testing.
Results: Patients with fibromyalgia and IBS were 12 and 3 times more likely to have severe MDIS compared with controls, respectively. Severe MDIS was associated with polypharmacy in both groups. Opiates were the most frequently reported drug intolerance across all participants. Although patients with IBS more often reported gastrointestinal symptoms as adverse reactions, individuals with fibromyalgia did not more frequently report pain or behavioral changes as adverse reactions.
Conclusions: There was an increased rate of severe MDIS in patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia and IBS. Additional studies are needed to better understand the morbidity of MDIS and how it can best be managed in patients with fibromyalgia and IBS.

Objective: This prospective cohort study assesses the long-term (5 years) clinical outcome of mini dental implants (MDIs) supporting maxillary overdentures with Periotest® and explores the applicability of Periotest® values (PTV) to predict implant failure.
Materials And Methods: Included patients were edentulous in the maxilla, dissatisfied with their conventional dentures, and reluctant to undergo augmentation procedures. Per patient, 5 to 8 MDIs (ILZ, Southern Implants Inc.

Introduction: The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) clearly documented long-term beneficial effects on both micro- and macro-vascular complications associated with type 1 diabetes (T1D) by using intensive insulin therapy (IIT) via multiple daily injections (MDIs) or insulin pumps more than 30 year ago. IIT, both during the DCCT and with translation into clinical practice, has been demonstrated to increase the risk of severe hypoglycemia and weight gain. Automated insulin delivery (AID) systems have become the standard of care in T1D management in the developed countries.

In everyday practice, many patients experience reactions to substances from different drug families. Multiple Drug Hypersensitivity Syndrome (MDHS) and Multiple Drug Intolerance Syndrome (MDIS) both involve reactions to several unrelated drugs but differ in pathophysiology and clinical presentation. Rare and immune-mediated, MDHS involves T lymphocytes and presents with severe delayed exanthems, eosinophilia, and moderate hepatic cytolysis triggered by at least two chemically distinct drugs.

Background: The relationship between the percent coefficient of variation (%CV) and the risk of severe hypoglycemia (SH) or non-severe hypoglycemia (NSH) in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) remains to be elucidated.
Materials And Methods: The Effect of Intermittent-Scanning Continuous Glucose Monitoring to Glycemic Control Including Hypoglycemia and Quality of Life of Patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (ISCHIA) study was a crossover, randomized, controlled trial for hypoglycemia prevention in patients with T1D using multiple daily injections (MDIs). Blinded continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data of 93 patients obtained during the Control period (84 days) were used for the post hoc analysis.

: Metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) and dry powder inhalers (DPIs) are common inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) inhaler devices. The difference in formulation and administration technique of these devices may influence oral cavity microbiota composition. We aimed to compare the saliva microbiome in children with moderate-to-severe asthma using ICS via MDIs versus DPIs.
