Childhood adverse events and BDNF promoter methylation in later-life

Aoshuang Zhou, Marie-Laure Ancelin, Karen Ritchie, Joanne Ryan

Summary: Studies have investigated the potential role of DNA methylation in the enduring effects of early-life stress and trauma on health. This study aimed to explore the association between childhood adversity and BDNF promoter methylation in older adults. Results showed no strong evidence of a long-term association between childhood abuse/maltreatment or financial difficulties/poverty and BDNF methylation in older individuals. Differential methylation at some CpG sites was observed for war/natural disaster, but these findings were not significant after correction for multiple testing. Further large prospective studies are needed to examine DNA methylation across the genome.

Dentistry and Drug Adverse Events: Between Responsibilities and Regulations

Tommaso D'Anna, Antonina Argo, Stefania Zerbo, Diego D'Urso, Maria Sofia Rini

Summary: The purpose of this paper is to renew interest in the medical history, prescription, and use of drugs in dental practice. The analysis highlights the importance of dentists having knowledge about drugs, medical substances, their effects, and interactions. This knowledge reduces errors, protects patients' health, and decreases medico-legal issues related to drug use.

Pancreatic Adverse Events Associated With Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors: A Large-Scale Pharmacovigilance Analysis

Yue Zhang, Yisheng Fang, Jianhua Wu, Genjie Huang, Jianping Bin, Yulin Liao, Min Shi, Wangjun Liao, Na Huang

Summary: This study examined the association between immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and pancreatic adverse events (AEs) using the FAERS database. It identified the main features of ICI-related pancreatic injury (ICIPI) and found that combination therapy has a stronger association with ICI-associated pancreatitis and ICI-associated diabetes mellitus.

Hyperuricaemia, gout and related adverse events associated with antihypertensive drugs: A real-world analysis using the FDA adverse event reporting system

Xue-Feng Jiao, Kunpeng Song, Xueyan Jiao, Hailong Li, Linan Zeng, Kun Zou, Wei Zhang, Huiqing Wang, Lingli Zhang

Summary: This study comprehensively evaluates the association between various antihypertensive drugs and hyperuricaemia, gout, and related adverse events (AEs). The findings suggest that certain potassium-sparing diuretics, calcium channel blockers, and losartan may be associated with an increased risk of hyperuricaemia, gout, and related AEs, contradicting previous studies. Additionally, antihypertensive drugs with central action, alpha and beta blockers, renin inhibitors, and vasodilators may also be associated with an increased risk, which has not been reported in previous studies.

Immunotherapy-Associated Pancreatic Adverse Events: Current Understanding of Their Mechanism, Diagnosis, and Management

Ya Liu, Hao Zhang, Li Zhou, Weichun Li, Le Yang, Wen Li, Kezhou Li, Xubao Liu

Summary: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have shown promising results in enhancing anti-tumor immunity, but they are also associated with immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Among these irAEs, pancreatic injury caused by ICIs remains poorly understood in terms of mechanisms.

Adverse events over the life course and later-life wellbeing and depressive symptoms in older people

Sol Richardson, Ewan Carr, Gopalakrishnan Netuveli, Amanda Sacker

Summary: Exposures to adverse events are associated with impaired later-life psychological health. Associations between different types of events and their timing within the life course have been investigated, showing that events at different ages independently affect later-life wellbeing and mental health outcomes cumulatively.

Unprescribed and unnoticed: Retrospective chart review of adverse events of interactions between antidepressants and over-the-counter drugs

Jaroslaw Woron, Adrian Andrzej Chrobak, Daniel Slezak, Marcin Siwek

Summary: This study systematically evaluated the prevalence and clinical characteristics of adverse effects of antidepressants and over-the-counter drugs interactions through a retrospective chart review. The results showed that the simultaneous use of antidepressants and other drugs could lead to adverse events. Some over-the-counter drugs were found to have pharmacokinetic interactions with antidepressants, resulting in categorized side effects. The study suggested monitoring the use of over-the-counter drugs by patients as they may increase the severity of side effects of antidepressants.

Gastrointestinal adverse events and weight reduction in people with type 2 diabetes treated with tirzepatide in the SURPASS clinical trials

Hiren Patel, Kamlesh Khunti, Helena W. Rodbard, Harpreet S. Bajaj, Ross Bray, Zbigniew Kindracki, Angel Rodriguez

Summary: The impact of gastrointestinal adverse events, particularly nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, on weight change was evaluated in participants with type 2 diabetes treated with tirzepatide. Results showed that these adverse events were common but had minimal contribution to weight reduction, indicating that tirzepatide is effective in weight loss regardless of gastrointestinal adverse events.

Use of Real-World Data to Emulate a Clinical Trial and Support Regulatory Decision Making: Assessing the Impact of Temporality, Comparator Choice, and Method of Adjustment

Devin Abrahami, Richeek Pradhan, Hui Yin, Peter Honig, Elodie Baumfeld Andre, Laurent Azoulay

Summary: External controls are primarily used in single-arm trials of rare diseases, with little investigation into their use in common diseases. This study aimed to emulate a large cardiovascular outcome trial of type 2 diabetes and found that different comparator groups, time periods, and adjustment methods can significantly impact the results. These factors must be carefully considered in the design of trial emulation studies.

Biases in Evaluating the Safety and Effectiveness of Drugs for the Treatment of COVID-19: Designing Real-World Evidence Studies

Christel Renoux, Laurent Azoulay, Samy Suissa

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has sparked a surge in observational studies assessing the safety and effectiveness of various treatments, including hydroxychloroquine and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors. Many of these studies have been found to have issues with immortal time bias and selection bias, highlighting the importance of addressing these biases in future research.

Defining Clinically Relevant Target Populations Using Real-World Data to Guide the Design of Representative Antidiabetic Drug Trials

Richeek Pradhan, Devin Abrahami, Hui Yin, Oriana H. Y. Yu, Vaishali Sahasrabudhe, Elodie Baumfeld Andre, Laurent Azoulay

Summary: This study demonstrates the importance of defining different target populations using real-world data to improve the design of future trials for antidiabetic drugs. The three target populations identified – all patients with type 2 diabetes, patients prescribed liraglutide, and patients eligible to receive liraglutide based on treatment stage – showed substantial differences in characteristics such as hemoglobin A1c, body mass index, heart failure prevalence, and chronic kidney disease. Applying the eligibility criteria of the LEADER trial to these target populations resulted in varying inclusion rates, highlighting the need for more representative trials.

Summary: The study, using the Clinical Practice Research Datalink, found an increase in antidepressant prescriptions and coprescription with other psychotropic medications in children and adolescents in the UK over the past decade. Females and teenagers aged 15 to 17 had higher rates, with SSRIs being the most commonly prescribed antidepressant. The prevalence of coprescription rose from 2.6% to 6.4%, with anxiolytics and hypnotics being the most common coprescribed medications.
