or dissemination syndrome. Safety was evaluated describing adverse events (AE). Results 35 COVID-19 patients from endemic areas were admitted and treated with ivermectin 6 mg/8 hours for 2 days. 52% of patients were women, with an average age of 42.84±11.38 years. The patients treated with ivermectin were from Latin America, and the most frequent countries were: 48% Bolivia, 24% Nicaragua, 12% Ecuador, 8% Colombia and 8% Peru. Immunosuppressive treatment was: 83% dexamethasone 6 mg/24 hours, 14% methylprednisolone bolus 250 mg, 12% tocilizumab 400 mg and 3% no immunosuppressive treatment. Three (9%) of the patients presented with positive S stercoralis serology. However, they did not develop S stercoralis hyperinfection or dissemination syndrome. Furthermore, no patient had eosinophilia, with an average eosinophiles blood count of 0.04±0.09×10 3 /mg. None of the patients had adverse events. Conclusion and relevance Prophylactic treatment with ivermectin was safe. Patients from endemic areas who should start immunosuppressive treatment as soon as possible could be treated prophylactically with ivermectin. Nevertheless, the number of patients and positive cases were small and more studies are needed to generate evidence.
Background and importance Recent studies have indicated that androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) increased the dementia risk in prostate cancer (PCa) patients. Phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors (PDE5i) with nitric oxide mediated vasodilation can increase blood flow in the brain. However, no current studies have explored the association between PDE5i exposure and dementia in PCa patients treated with ADT.
Conclusion and relevance HAMC were widely prescribed. Benzodiazepines were the therapeutic group most prescribed from the HAMC list in our population, followed by antiplatelets and antipsychotics. The HAMC list is a useful tool for a first approach in the detection of patients who may be at a higher risk of serious harms if medication errors occur. Implementation of specific safe practices for those drugs could reduce potential or real errors in these patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
