Article Abstract

Background: The present study was performed to investigate which antiepileptic drug (AED) has the highest risk of drug-induced parkinsonism (DIP).

Objective: The aim was to evaluate associations between AEDs and DIP reports in the World Health Organization pharmacovigilance database, Vigibase.

Methods: Individual case safety reports (ICSRs) in patients ≥45 years registered between January 1, 2000 and June 31, 2024 with carbamazepine, lamotrigine, levetiracetam, or sodium valproate as "Parkinson-like events" (PLE) were extracted. Disproportionality analyses were performed, with cases being PLE and non-cases all other ICSRs. Results are shown as reporting odds ratios (ROR).

Results: Among 16,174,796 ICSRs, 3339 reported PLE with the four AEDs, mainly in females between 45 and 64 years. The highest ROR value was with valproate sodium (3.09 [2.01-3.29]), followed by lamotrigine (2.14 [2.01-2.28]), levetiracetam (1.43 [1.32-1.55]), and carbamazepine (1.09 [1.01-1.17]). DIP risk increased with the number of associated AEDs.

Conclusions: Among AEDs, valproate sodium is associated with the higher risk of PLE and carbamazepine with the lowest.

Objectives: Participation rates in fecal immunochemical test (FIT)-based colorectal cancer (CRC) screening differ across socio-demographic subgroups. The largest health gains could be achieved in subgroups with low participation rates and high risk of CRC. We investigated the CRC risk within different socio-demographic subgroups with low participation in the Dutch CRC screening program.

Pericardial effusion (PCE) represents a significant postoperative complication following congenital heart surgery (CHS), contributing to more complex postoperative care and heightened morbidity. In this study, we aim to elucidate the risk factors contributing to PCE development post-CHS through analysis of data from a nationwide, multi-institutional database. Review of the Pediatric Health Information System Database from January 1, 2004, to December 30, 2023.

Importance: Patients with advanced cancer frequently receive broad-spectrum antibiotics, but changing use patterns across the end-of-life trajectory remain poorly understood.

Objective: To describe the patterns of broad-spectrum antibiotic use across defined end-of-life intervals in patients with advanced cancer.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This nationwide, population-based, retrospective cohort study used data from the South Korean National Health Insurance Service database to examine broad-spectrum antibiotic use among patients with advanced cancer who died between July 1, 2002, and December 31, 2021.

Rationale And Objectives: Double expression lymphoma (DEL) is an independent high-risk prognostic factor for primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL), and its diagnosis currently relies on invasive methods. This study first integrates radiomics and habitat radiomics features to enhance preoperative DEL status prediction models via intratumoral heterogeneity analysis.

Materials And Methods: Clinical, pathological, and MRI imaging data of 139 PCNSL patients from two independent centers were collected.

Introduction: The optimal surveillance for mucinous appendix cancer (MAC) after cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) remains unclear. We identified postoperative periods reflecting significant changes in recurrence probability.

Methods: A prospective database (1998-2024) of patients with stage IV MAC with low-grade (LGMCP), high-grade (HGMCP), and signet-ring cell (SRC) histology treated with initial complete (CC-0/1) CRS/HIPEC was analyzed.
