Approximately 91% of the participants had completed their graduations and 49.4% of the participants had an experience of less than 5 years. Only 23.1% and 40.1% of the participants reported possessing functional sphygmomanometer and glucometer in their pharmacies, respectively, as a point of care tools. A high level of positive attitude was significantly (P=0.014) associating the level of education. The study identified several barriers influencing the CVD prevention services during pharmaceutical care. The top three barriers were lack of time (66.4%), lack of privacy (58.6%) and lack of tools (59.9%). Despite inadequate knowledge and barriers, a favourable attitude CVD prevention was observed. Thus, pharmacists' CVD risk assessment and preventive hurdles must be addressed. In addition to the Ministry of Health (MoH)'s recent public policy measures, healthcare workers should receive ongoing education and training on CVD prevention and treatment.","PeriodicalId":19971,"journal":{"name":"Pakistan journal of pharmaceutical sciences","volume":"38 1","pages":"15-24"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143634450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 215 samples from 59 post-operative patients were collected from a tertiary care hospital after a first dose of linezolid. The data was used to develop a population pharmacokinetic (popPK) model by using NONMEM® software. Analysis of the available covariates on pharmacokinetic parameters of linezolid was performed by using stepwise covariate modeling approach, A one-compartment model described the popPK and the value for linezolid clearance (CL) was 3.72 L/h while that of volume of distribution (Vd) was 36.9 L. The interindividual variability on linezolid CL was 36.5%. During stepwise covariate analysis, creatinine clearance (CRCL) was proved to be a significant covariate on CL. This is concluded that the clearance of linezolid is influenced by the renal status of patients and there is a dire need for dose optimization of linezolid in Pakistani patients based on renal status in order to avoid toxicity and adverse drug effects.","PeriodicalId":19971,"journal":{"name":"Pakistan journal of pharmaceutical sciences","volume":"38 1","pages":"291-298"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144038511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among the 341 patients, treatment effectiveness varied by hyperkalemia severity. For mild hyperkalemia, D50W with insulin and sodium bicarbonate achieved normokalemia in 83.3% of cases, compared to 55% with Sodium-Polysorbate alone. In moderate hyperkalemia (189 patients), the combination of D50W, insulin, sodium bicarbonate, calcium gluconate and Sodium-Polysorbate reduced potassium levels from 6.52 to 6.01 mmol/L (p<0.001), with 27.2% achieving normokalemia. In severe hyperkalemia (104 patients), this regimen led to significant reductions (0.88-1.18 mmol/L, p<0.001), with 17.6% reaching normokalemia. Multi-drug approaches are advocated for effective hyperkalemia management, particularly for moderate to severe cases.

To elucidate the potential anti-inflammatory mechanism of CYNG in UC patients, in vitro experiments were performed to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of CYNG on lipopolysaccharide (LPS) -induced RAW 264.7. The results showed that the serum pharmacochemical study revealed 15 compounds, which were subjected to network pharmacology analysis. Integrating these results identified the key signaling pathway (MAPK signaling pathway). Western blot and ELISA further demonstrated that CYNG might also regulate p38/MAPK pathway through down-regulating the expression of p-p38 and p-JNK proteins and exerting anti-inflammatory effects.

Thus, this study was designed to formulate a tretinoin-loaded NLCs-based sunscreen cream to potentiate the photo-stability of tretinoin. Tretinoin-loaded NLCs were prepared using micro-emulsion method and the Box-Benkhen design was utilized to optimize the formulations. The optimized tretinoin-loaded formulations were characterized based on particle size, PDI, zeta potential and entrapment efficiency. Moreover, the physicochemical parameters of optimized tretinoin-loaded NLCs, including morphology, FTIR studies, DSC analysis and stability studies and release profile were also examined. The results revealed that tretinoin-loaded NLCs-based sunscreen formulation was stable in all aspects and showed better photo-stability and sun protection with prolonged release profile. In conclusion, the present study affirms the NLCs formulation as a viable carrier for topically administering tretinoin, reducing its photosensitivity and suggesting that incorporated sunscreens may provide prolonged protective effects against harmful UV radiations.","PeriodicalId":19971,"journal":{"name":"Pakistan journal of pharmaceutical sciences","volume":"38 1","pages":"315-323"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144018998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
