Optimizing Dosing and Fixed-Dose Combinations of Rifampicin, Isoniazid, and Pyrazinamide in Pediatric Patients With Tuberculosis: A Prospective Population Pharmacokinetic Study

Paolo Denti et al.

Summary: The dosing guidelines for childhood tuberculosis need to be revised as current pediatric FDC doses result in low rifampicin exposures. New fixed-dose combination (FDC) with revised weight bands could improve treatment for children with drug-susceptible tuberculosis.

Longitudinal evidence on treatment discontinuation, adherence, and loss of hypertension control in four middle-income countries

Nicole Mauer et al.

Summary: This study examines the process of hypertension care in middle-income countries by analyzing population-based cohort data from China, Indonesia, Mexico, and South Africa. The findings reveal that there are challenges in hypertension control in these countries, with a relatively low percentage of individuals being diagnosed, treated, and achieving blood pressure control.

Prospective study to evaluate incidence and indicators for early detection of ethambutol toxicity

Sohini Mandal et al.

Summary: The study found that while the incidence of ethambutol-induced optic neuropathy was less than 2%, subclinical damage in the form of increased visual evoked response latency and decreased retinal nerve fiber layer and ganglion cell inner plexiform layer thickness on optical coherence tomography was observed in 46% of eyes.

The Medical Management of Paediatric Crohn's Disease: an ECCO-ESPGHAN Guideline Update

Patrick F. van Rheenen et al.

Summary: This study emphasizes the importance of early assessment of high-risk patients with Crohn's disease to reduce intestinal damage, and recommends upfront anti-TNF agents in combination with an immunomodulator for patients with perianal disease, stricturing or penetrating behavior, or severe growth retardation. Therapeutic drug monitoring is preferred over empirically escalating anti-TNF dose or switching therapies. For low-risk luminal CD patients, induction with exclusive enteral nutrition or corticosteroids, and maintenance therapy with immunomodulators are recommended.

Polypill with or without Aspirin in Persons without Cardiovascular Disease

S. Yusuf et al.

Summary: This study showed that combined treatment with a polypill plus aspirin reduced cardiovascular events among participants without cardiovascular disease but at intermediate cardiovascular risk. However, the polypill alone or aspirin alone did not significantly reduce cardiovascular events. Participants in the polypill group had a higher incidence of hypotension or dizziness compared to the placebo group.
