This study describes a case series of nine patients experiencing symptoms of selenium toxicity after consuming a liquid dietary supplement with an excess amount of selenium.

This study evaluated the potential toxicity of oral dihydroartemisinin in SD rats, finding that female rats experienced greater toxic effects than males, particularly at higher doses, but these effects were reversible after a 4-week recovery period.

This article reviews the use of cyclophosphamide in kidney disease treatment, highlighting significant concerns about long-term risks of cancer and infertility, and stress strategies for dose reduction and side effect mitigation; no new study results are presented.

Targeted therapies for lung cancer are effective but require careful management of side effects to benefit patients.

This review discusses various strategies, including vitamin A and dextromethorphan supplementation, to manage methotrexate toxicity and improve adherence in patients with rheumatic diseases, but reports no new clinical results.

This study demonstrates that a new Adaptive Modulation and Coding method can improve control performance in Communication-Based Train Control systems using WLAN by reducing average delay through effective transmission mode selection.

This article reviews methotrexate's pharmacokinetics and toxicity, emphasizing the role of urinary excretion and leucovorin in avoiding most toxic reactions; it provides no new clinical results.

This case report describes a patient with non-small cell lung cancer who experienced trichomegaly (excessive eyelash growth) as a side effect of erlotinib treatment without developing typical skin rash.

This study mapped the safety profile of EGFR-TKIs by analyzing FDA adverse event reports, highlighting unexpected reactions like intestinal obstruction and hypokalaemia with gefitinib and erlotinib.

Metformin and thiazolidinediones are similarly effective for PCOS, but metformin is often preferred due to fewer side effects.

This study found that albumin-bound paclitaxel combined with nedaplatin shows promise as neoadjuvant therapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, achieving a high complete response rate with manageable side effects.

This review discusses the guidelines for using and monitoring mood stabilizers in bipolar disorders, highlighting that only a minority of patients receive guideline-adherent monitoring.

In this retrospective study conducted at Nishtar Hospital, nab-paclitaxel combined with radiotherapy provided similar survival outcomes to cisplatin in treating early-stage cervical cancer, with lower hematologic and gastrointestinal toxicity, though alopecia was more common.

This study found that CI-1033 caused skin lesions in rats that resemble effects seen in humans receiving EGF receptor inhibitors, suggesting this animal model can help explore the mechanisms behind this cutaneous toxicity.

This review synthesizes information on isotretinoin’s systemic toxicity, emphasizing that its adverse effects, including mucocutaneous, hepatic, and musculoskeletal reactions, primarily reflect its pharmacodynamic actions and are generally manageable with individualized dosing and monitoring, though its teratogenicity remains a significant safety concern.

This report describes two cases of thallium poisoning with gastrointestinal symptoms, peripheral neuropathy, and alopecia, which were effectively treated using activated charcoal, potassium chloride, and hemodialysis.

This review highlights the potential for physical exercise to reduce treatment toxicity and modification rates in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer receiving systemic treatments, suggesting benefits for survival outcomes; it recommends further trials to confirm these findings.

This review highlighted that targeted cancer therapies, while generally causing mild toxicities that can be managed, also pose risks of rare but serious side effects like pneumonitis and cardiotoxicities, emphasizing the need for vigilant monitoring and management to ensure patient safety.

This study concluded that weekly 5 mg folate supplementation is adequate for preventing methotrexate toxicity in rheumatoid arthritis patients, with no observed advantage to higher daily dosing after six months.
