These conditions, including obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), metabolic syndrome, and dyslipidemia, are associated with impaired regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism, chronic inflammation, and insulin resistance. Several studies have also shown that metabolic diseases cause the body to experience a state of dysregulation, characterized by impaired insulin signaling, chronic low-grade inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and abnormal lipid and glucose homeostasis. This review summarizes current research on therapeutic strategies for modulating the molecular pathways involved in metabolic diseases. The primary focus is on the use of beta (β)-caryophyllene (BCP), which has demonstrated therapeutic potential in treatment through various molecular mechanisms involving activation of the endocannabinoid system and PPAR-γ receptors, either directly or indirectly. Crucially, BCP exerts its lipid-lowering and insulin-sensitizing effects by activating the AMPK/SIRT1 signaling pathways and inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase. Evidence from animal studies suggests that BCP reduces oxidative stress and systemic inflammation by lowering the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-6, while improving the expression of adiponectin and leptin. Unlike previous literature that predominantly focuses on isolated cellular pathways, the novelty of this review lies in its comprehensive integration of BCP's pharmacodynamics with its pharmacokinetic (ADME) limitations. By explicitly addressing translational hurdles-such as BCP's extensive first-pass metabolism and the need for advanced self-emulsifying delivery systems (SEDDS)-this work provides a uniquely balanced perspective. A comprehensive synthesis of BCP's molecular mechanisms in metabolic diseases is crucial for exploring its potential as a safer, effective complementary therapy. Given its unique mechanism of action and safety profile, BCP is a promising candidate for further clinical investigation. This review highlights the importance of exploring BCP as a complementary approach for managing metabolic health.</p>","PeriodicalId":22977,"journal":{"name":"Therapeutics and Clinical Risk Management","volume":"22 ","pages":"616072"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13598633/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149040901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Emergency departments are the main gateway to trauma care, where rapid risk stratification guides resuscitation, surgical decision-making, intensive care admission, and resource allocation. Conventional tools, including the Revised Trauma Score, Glasgow Coma Scale, Injury Severity Score, and Trauma and Injury Severity Score, standardize early assessment but rely largely on static variables and may not capture dynamic physiological changes during resuscitation. Dynamic biomarkers offer additional biological information. Glial fibrillary acidic protein, S100B, neuron-specific enolase, serum lactate, and lactate clearance may reflect neuronal injury, tissue hypoperfusion, metabolic stress, and how effectively resuscitation is restoring perfusion. Artificial intelligence and machine-learning models can integrate vital signs, laboratory findings, imaging data, biomarkers, and demographic variables to generate individualized predictions of mortality, clinical deterioration, intensive care requirements, and complications.

This review summarizes current evidence on GLP-1RA-associated delayed gastric emptying and proposes a structured pharmacist-led framework for individualized perioperative risk management. GLP-1RAs may increase the likelihood of residual gastric contents during anesthesia or procedural sedation despite adherence to standard fasting recommendations. Perioperative outcome studies have not consistently shown an increased risk of aspiration pneumonia; however, these findings should be interpreted in light of the low incidence of aspiration-related events, the predominance of retrospective study designs, residual confounding, and heterogeneous definitions of residual gastric contents. We review mechanisms of delayed gastric emptying, treatment- and patient-related risk modifiers, perioperative clinical evidence, areas of agreement and divergence among major guidance statements, gastric ultrasonography as a selective risk-mitigation tool, and medication-safety issues beyond aspiration, including oral drug absorption and postoperative resumption. Because perioperative GLP-1RA decisions require accurate medication history, last-dose verification, symptom assessment, evaluation of glycemic consequences of drug interruption, coordination with anesthesia and surgical teams, and safe postoperative restart planning, pharmacists are well positioned to support this process. The proposed pharmacist-led pathway provides a structured approach to GLP-1RA medication verification, gastrointestinal symptom screening, risk phenotyping, multidisciplinary escalation, day-of-surgery reassessment, postoperative restart planning, patient education, and documentation. Perioperative GLP-1RA management should not rely on routine discontinuation alone, but should integrate treatment phase, dose escalation, gastrointestinal symptoms, comorbid motility disorders, procedural urgency, anesthetic risk, oral medication considerations, and the metabolic consequences of withholding therapy.

For decades, surgical evacuation of supratentorial ICH failed to show consistent functional benefit in randomized trials. The Early Minimally Invasive Removal of Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ENRICH) trial altered this trajectory by providing the first positive randomized evidence that an early, protocolized minimally invasive parafascicular approach can improve utility-weighted 180-day outcome in a predominantly lobar population. Interpretation was complicated by the 2025 MIND trial, which tested Artemis-based minimally invasive evacuation in a cohort dominated by deep hemorrhage and, after early termination, did not show benefit on its primary endpoint. In parallel, the SWITCH trial suggested at most a limited role for decompressive craniectomy without clot evacuation in severe deep ICH, with any possible reduction in death or extreme disability tempered by substantial residual disability among survivors. These trials indicate that the current issue is no longer the general rationale for surgery, but the specific patients, treatment window, and technical conditions under which evacuation is most likely to confer net benefit. This review traces the evidence from the International Surgical Trial in Intracerebral Haemorrhage (STICH) program and the Minimally Invasive Surgery Plus Alteplase for Intracerebral Hemorrhage Evacuation (MISTIE) program to ENRICH and MIND, compares the major minimally invasive strategies, and examines hemorrhage location, hematoma volume, and treatment timing as the principal determinants of patient selection. On the basis of current randomized evidence, the clearest evidence-supported indication is early (<24 h) minimally invasive evacuation for patients resembling the ENRICH population: lobar supratentorial ICH, hematoma volume 30-80 mL, and treatment performed by a trained team using a standardized parafascicular workflow. Conversely, routine minimally invasive evacuation for most deep supratentorial hemorrhages, ultra-early (<8 h) intervention outside clinical trials, intervention beyond the ENRICH-supported early window, and the use of alternative platforms without comparable randomized support should be regarded as investigational or extrapolative rather than established standard care.</p>","PeriodicalId":22977,"journal":{"name":"Therapeutics and Clinical Risk Management","volume":"22 ","pages":"619414"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13401885/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148593220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
