Off-Label Prescribing in Paediatric Cardiology: Regulatory Aspects and Safety Assessment by Spontaneous Reporting

In paediatrics, it is a common practice to use pharmaceuticals outside the approved Summary of Product Characteristics (i.e. off-label). According to the literature, up to 45% of inpatient paediatric prescriptions and 10–20% of outpatient ones are for off-label uses. It is essential to analyse such uses, as it helps medical practitioners act reasonably and professionally.The aim of the study was to explore the possibility of using spontaneous reports to assess the risks of the off-label use of cardiac medicinal products in children in the Irkutsk region.Materials and methods. The authors analysed 25 reporting forms on adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in paediatric cardiac patients from the database of the Regional Centre for Drug Safety Monitoring of the Irkutsk Region and regional data from the Automated Information System (AIS) of the Federal Service for Surveillance in Healthcare of the Russian Federation (Roszdravnadzor) submitted in 2009–2020. The inclusion criterion for reporting forms was a causal relationship between the off-label use of a medicinal product and the ADR that was scored as “possible” or higher on the Naranjo probability scale.Results. According to the reporting forms, the off-label use of cardiac medicinal products in children was associated with ADRs, such as angiooedema, cutaneous symptoms, and bronchospasm. The majority of ADRs (84%) were considered severe. The medicinal products were prescribed for heart failure, arterial hypertension, and cardiac arrhythmias. The majority of ADR reports (75%) were submitted by inpatient medical organisations.Conclusions. The analysis of spontaneous ADR reporting databases is a simple and informative method for studying the safety of medicinal products. It is necessary to raise awareness of ADRs associated with off-label prescribing amongst paediatric cardiologists in order to reduce the incidence of ADRs. The following contributions will improve the quality of medical care: all parties involved with pharmaceuticals should adhere to good pharmacovigilance practices, medical practitioners should be actively involved in treatment safety monitoring, and the professional training curricula of paediatric cardiologists and paediatricians should include specific units on the practical functioning of pharmacovigilance

RumourEval 2019: Determining rumour veracity and support for rumours

This is the proposal for RumourEval-2019, which will run in early 2019 as part of that year's SemEval event. Since the first RumourEval shared task in 2017, interest in automated claim validation has greatly increased, as the dangers of "fake news" have become a mainstream concern. Yet automated support for rumour checking remains in its infancy. For this reason, it is important that a shared task in this area continues to provide a focus for effort, which is likely to increase. We therefore propose a continuation in which the veracity of further rumours is determined, and as previously, supportive of this goal, tweets discussing them are classified according to the stance they take regarding the rumour. Scope is extended compared with the first RumourEval, in that the dataset is substantially expanded to include Reddit as well as Twitter data, and additional languages are also included

The interchangeability of drugs from line items of pharmaceutical compliance and clinical efficiency and safety

Questions of replacement of original medicines with generic are discussed. The sintesation of identical medicine is a complex challenge from the technological point of view. It is caused by distinctions in production of substances, influence of the variable pharmaceutical factors giving change of the size of particles, a different amorphous forms, a deviation of structure and quantitative content of impurity. Auxiliary substantion characteristics of a production process of ready dosage forms matter. Data on pharmacokinetic equivalence of each generic to original are necessary. For carrying out pharmacotherapy original medicine which receive as a result of the researches executed under the regulated protocol needs data on comparative therapeutic efficiency and shipping the generic of drugs

The Gravitational Universe

The last century has seen enormous progress in our understanding of the Universe. We know the life cycles of stars, the structure of galaxies, the remnants of the big bang, and have a general understanding of how the Universe evolved. We have come remarkably far using electromagnetic radiation as our tool for observing the Universe. However, gravity is the engine behind many of the processes in the Universe, and much of its action is dark. Opening a gravitational window on the Universe will let us go further than any alternative. Gravity has its own messenger: Gravitational waves, ripples in the fabric of spacetime. They travel essentially undisturbed and let us peer deep into the formation of the first seed black holes, exploring redshifts as large as z ~ 20, prior to the epoch of cosmic re-ionisation. Exquisite and unprecedented measurements of black hole masses and spins will make it possible to trace the history of black holes across all stages of galaxy evolution, and at the same time constrain any deviation from the Kerr metric of General Relativity. eLISA will be the first ever mission to study the entire Universe with gravitational waves. eLISA is an all-sky monitor and will offer a wide view of a dynamic cosmos using gravitational waves as new and unique messengers to unveil The Gravitational Universe. It provides the closest ever view of the early processes at TeV energies, has guaranteed sources in the form of verification binaries in the Milky Way, and can probe the entire Universe, from its smallest scales around singularities and black holes, all the way to cosmological dimensions

Ten millennia of hepatitis B virus evolution

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) has been infecting humans for millennia and remains a global health problem, but its past diversity and dispersal routes are largely unknown. We generated HBV genomic data from 137 Eurasians and Native Americans dated between similar to 10,500 and similar to 400 years ago. We date the most recent common ancestor of all HBV lineages to between similar to 20,000 and 12,000 years ago, with the virus present in European and South American hunter-gatherers during the early Holocene. After the European Neolithic transition, Mesolithic HBV strains were replaced by a lineage likely disseminated by early farmers that prevailed throughout western Eurasia for similar to 4000 years, declining around the end of the 2nd millennium BCE. The only remnant of this prehistoric HBV diversity is the rare genotype G, which appears to have reemerged during the HIV pandemic.Molecular Technology and Informatics for Personalised Medicine and Healt
