The mechanisms of pharmacokinetic food-drug interactions - A perspective from the UNGAP group
The simultaneous intake of food and drugs can have a strong impact on drug release, absorption, distribution, metabolism and/or elimination and consequently, on the efficacy and safety of pharmacotherapy. As such, food-drug interactions are one of the main challenges in oral drug administration. Whereas pharmacokinetic (PK) food-drug interactions can have a variety of causes, pharmacodynamic (PD) food-drug interactions occur due to specific pharmacological interactions between a drug and particular drinks or food. In recent years, extensive efforts were made to elucidate the mechanisms that drive pharmacokinetic food-drug interactions. Their occurrence depends mainly on the properties of the drug substance, the formulation and a multitude of physiological factors. Every intake of food or drink changes the physiological conditions in the human gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, a precise understanding of how different foods and drinks affect the processes of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and/or elimination as well as formulation performance is important in order to be able to predict and avoid such interactions. Furthermore, it must be considered that beverages such as milk, grapefruit juice and alcohol can also lead to specific food-drug interactions. In this regard, the growing use of food supplements and functional food requires urgent attention in oral pharmacotherapy. Recently, a new consortium in Understanding Gastrointestinal Absorption-related Processes (UNGAP) was established through COST, a funding organisation of the European Union supporting translational research across Europe. In this review of the UNGAP Working group "Food-Drug Interface", the different mechanisms that can lead to pharmacokinetic food-drug interactions are discussed and summarised from different expert perspectives

Epidemiological Analysis on 3614 Patients with Temporo-Mandibular Disorders (TMD) Basic Statistical Aspects
The aim of this work was to present data from a large sample of patients with Temporo-Mandibular Disorders (TMD) in order to clarify some aspects of the development of pathological conditions that affect large parts of the population. In the past years there was a rapid growth of the incidence of the temporomandibular dissorders. The ethiopathogenesis is in most cases unclear. Based on the latest information supposed are the biopsychosocial factors
Emergence of Cranio-Cervico-Facial Soft Tissue Emphysema after Dental Hygiene Treatment Using Airflow (Case Report)
The authors report an interesting case of dangerous complications during dental hygienist treatment. Soft tissue emphysema during, and after stomatological procedures is described in several works. Such a complication after „airflowing“ has not yet been published in literature
Direct Oral Anticoagulant Drugs in Dental Clinical Practice
The direct oral anticoagulant drugs (DOAC) are generally safe and effective in several clinical settings including acute venous thromboembolic disease, prophylaxis in the postoperative setting, prevention of thromboembolism in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation, and in the management of acute coronary syndrome. The relatively short half-life, rapid onset of action, and predictable pharmacokinetics should simplify periprocedural use of the DOAC. The aim of this work is to propose and summarize periprocedural management of patients treated with the DOAC in dental practice and to inform about the principal specifications of this treatment
The Endoscopic Treatment of the Temporomandibular Joint with Internal Disorders
The aim of the study is the evaluation of the clinical outcome and effectiveness of the arthroscopic procedures of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in cases resistant to the conservative therapy. The monitored group consisted of 31 patients, who underwent the arthroscopy of the TMJ and have been followed up for 3 years. The followed up patients have underwent a MRI examination of TMJ. The authors evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment in relationship to the clinical picture, radiodiagnostical imaging methods and to the arthroscopy of the TMJ
