OBJECTIVES: This scoping review aimed to map European and Romanian pharmaceutical legislation and policy-related evidence and to examine how legislative harmonization translates into access outcomes in Romania. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: Legislative documents, institutional reports, market analyses, and peer-reviewed studi…

Driving is a complex neurobehavioural task necessitating the rapid selection, uptake, and processing of visual information. Eye movements that are critical for the execution of visually guided behaviour such as driving are also sensitive to the effects of psychotropic substances. The Embase (via Ovid), EBSCOHost, Psyne…

Hypertension is one of the leading risk factors for stroke, myocardial infarction and untimely death. The prevalence of hypertension is extremely high among the global population, and many of them depend on modern medicines to manage their blood pressure. The modern antihypertensive medications include angiotensin-conv…

BACKGROUND: Tramadol is one of the most extensively used centrally acting synthetic opioid analgesics. Recently, a number of studies have explored the associations of the CYP2D6*10 C188T polymorphism with pharmacokinetic and clinical outcomes of tramadol. However, the results of these previous reports remain controvers…

BACKGROUND: We identified anti-obesity medications withdrawn since 1950 because of adverse drug reactions after regulatory approval, and examined the evidence used to support such withdrawals, investigated the mechanisms of the adverse reactions, and explored the trends over time. METHODS: We conducted searches in Pub…

BACKGROUND: Skeletal muscle relaxants (SMRs) are widely used in treating musculoskeletal conditions. All SMRs, with the exception of baclofen and tizanidine, are on the list of 2023 American Geriatrics Society Beers Criteriafor potentially inappropriate medication use in older adults. In our geriatric practice, off-lab…

BACKGROUND: This study presents a bibliometric and scientometric analysis of research trends in schizophrenia genetics over nearly 7 decades (1957-2025). The field has evolved from early heritability studies to genome-wide association studies and multi-omics approaches. The objective was to map the historical trajector…

INTRODUCTION: Carvacrol, a phenolic monoterpene and putative TRPM7 inhibitor, has demonstrated neuroprotective activity in cerebral ischemia models. This systematic review synthesizes preclinical evidence on carvacrol across focal and global ischemia, separating outcomes by disease model and summarizing mechanisms of a…

Environmental light entrains many physiological and behavioural processes to the 24 h solar cycle. Such light-driven circadian rhythms are centrally controlled by the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), which receives information from the short-wavelength-sensitive intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells. The SC…

The widespread cognitive and cerebral consequences of prenatal alcohol exposure have been established during the last decades, through the exploration of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) using neuropsychological and neuroscience tools. This research field has recently benefited from the emergence of innovative m…

OBJECTIVE: During neonatal cardiopulmonary resuscitation, early establishment of vascular access is crucial. We aimed to review current evidence regarding different routes for the administration of medications during neonatal resuscitation. DATA SOURCES: We reviewed PubMed, EMBASE, and Google Scholar using MeSH terms…

Alzheimer's disease (AD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) share molecular features yet differ clinically, suggesting underlying systems-level commonalities. We aimed to characterize shared and disease-specific multimorbidity architectures across AD, ALS, and FTD using an artificia…

BACKGROUND: The use of real-world data has become increasingly popular, also in the field of infectious disease (ID), particularly since the COVID-19 pandemic emerged. While much useful data for research is being collected, these data are generally stored across different sources. Privacy concerns limit the possibility…

BACKGROUND: Yellow fever (YF) outbreaks continue to occur in Nigeria with a high mortality rate despite a well-established mode of transmission and the availability of a potent vaccine. This review is aimed at describing the epidemiology, determinants, and public health responses of yellow fever outbreaks in Nigeria fr…

BACKGROUND: Although a diversity of neurotransmitters and hormones participate in controlling blood pressure, norepinephrine released from postganglionic sympathetic nerve terminals is an important mediator of the rapid regulation of cardiovascular function required for homeostasis of cerebral perfusion. Hence, neuroge…

BACKGROUND: Exercise has been identified as a beneficial intervention to enhance quality of life in breast cancer survivors. In addition, there has been a noteworthy increase in studies emphasizing the benefits of exercise in cancer. We sought to summarize the empirical literature concerning the effects of exercise on…
