Evaluation of Drug-Associated Phototoxicity Under 980 nm Near-Infrared Laser Irradiation in Human Dermal Fibroblasts

Background: Many widely used drugs—including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, tetracyclines and thiazide diuretics—are labelled as photosensitising, yet their phototoxicity has been defined almost entirely by ultraviolet A (UVA) exposure. Whether this risk extends to the ne...

Comparative diagnostic performance of motor-evoked potential alarm thresholds for predicting postoperative neurological decline in intradural extramedullary spinal tumor surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Variability in motor evoked potential (MEP) alarm thresholds limits interpretation of intraoperative monitoring during intradural extramedullary (IDEM) tumor surgery. We aimed to compare predefined MEP thresholds for predicting postoperative neurological decline. PubMed, Embase,...

Therapeutic Potential of Selected Flavonoids as Natural Antidiabetic Agents

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains a major clinical challenge, with postprandial hyperglycemia (PPG) playing a key role in the development of vascular complications. Current pharmacotherapies often do not sufficiently control PPG, highlighting the need for complementary stra...

Beyond Chemical Compliance: A Critical Review Toward Microbiome‐Informed Ecological Exit Criteria for Bioremediated Soils

ABSTRACT Chemical compliance remains the usual endpoint for closing contaminated‐soil remediation projects, although it does not establish recovery of soil function or the durability of the post‐treatment state. This critical review examines when microbiological evidence can cont...
