AB  - Patients treated with ECMO are at great risk of nosocomial infections, and around 10% of isolates are gram-positive pathogens. Linezolid (LZD) is effective in the treatment of these infections but appropriate dosing is challenging. The aim was to evaluate the occurrence of thrombocytopenia during ECMO when treated with LZD. An LZD trough concentration of 8 mg/L was set as the cutoff value for thrombocytopenia occurrence among critically ill patients who received parenteral LZD therapy at a dose of 600 mg every 8 h during ECMO. Eleven patients were included in this prospective observational study. Median LZD trough concentrations were 7.85 (interquartile range (IQR), 1.95-11) mg/L. Thrombocytopenia was found in 81.8% of patients. Based on the median LZD trough concentrations cutoff value, patients were divided into two groups, 1.95 (IQR, 0.91–3.6) and 10.3 (IQR, 9.7–11.7) mg/L, respectively. Median platelet values differed significantly between groups on admission, ECMO day 0, ECMO day 1, and LZD sampling day [194 and 152.5, (p < 0.05)], [113 and 214, (p < 0.05)], [76 and 147.5, (p < 0.01)], and [26 and 96.5, (p < 0.01)], respectively. Duration of LZD therapy was similar between the groups. Significant platelet reduction was observed in both groups, emphasizing the need for closer monitoring to prevent LZD-associated thrombocytopenia.

AB  - Fatty acids play a crucial role in obesity development and in the comorbidities of obesity in both adults and children. This study aimed to assess the impact of circulating fatty acids on biomarkers of metabolic health of adolescents living with obesity. Parameters such as blood lipids, redox status, and leukocyte telomere length (rLTL) were measured alongside the proportions of individual fatty acids. The Mann–Whitney U test revealed that individuals with obesity exhibited an unfavorable lipid and redox status compared to the control normal weight group. The group with obesity also had lower plasma n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and a higher ratio of n-6 to n-3 PUFAs than the control group. They also had a shorter rLTL, indicating accelerated biological aging. There was an inverse association of rLTL and plasma n-6-to-n-3 PUFA ratio. Future studies should explore the impact of recommended nutrition plans and increased physical activity on these parameters to determine if these interventions can enhance the health and well-being of adolescents with obesity, knowing that early obesity can track into adulthood.

AB  - The chemical composition of Pulicaria dysenterica (L.) Bernh. aerial parts essential oil (EO), growing wild in Bosnia and Herzegovina, was presented in the study. In addition to the EO composition, antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities were also tested. The aerial parts of P. dysenterica contained 0.3% of yellow, liquid, fragrant EO. The 51 components identified accounted for 81.09% of the oil. The EO was characterized by the presence of a high concentration of oxygenated sesquiterpenes 51.83% while oxygenated monoterpenes constituted 15.57%, sesquiterpene hydrocarbons 9.32% and non-terpene compounds presented 4.37% of the EO. The dominant compounds were the sesquiterpenes caryophyllene oxide, (E)-nerolidol, β-caryophyllene and monoterpene nerol. The antimicrobial activity of EO was tested against selected ATCC strains of microorganisms, the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli, and the fungus Candida albicans. The results showed that the investigated EO inhibited the growth of all selected ATCC strains of microorganisms. The best result was obtained against Escherichia coli bacteria with MIC value of 1 mgmL-1. The cytotoxicity of EO was measured against the HeLa cell line using the MTT method with IC50 of 188.52 μgmL-1. This study has provided scientific baseline data on the therapeutic properties of P. dysenterica.

AB  - In recent years, Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) have attracted increasing attention in
various scientific disciplines. Their unique properties, such as low toxicity, biodegradability, low
cost and versatility, have made them an attractive alternative to conventional organic solvents. In
pharmaceutical analysis, where the demand for environmentally friendly methods is growing,
questions regarding whether DESs can replace organic solvents as "green solvents" have arisen.
This paper explores the potential applications of DESs in drug analysis, and highlights the benefits
and challenges they bring. Examples of the use of DESs in chromatographic techniques and in
the extraction of drugs from various samples are presented. Additionally, research on the stability
and toxicity of DESs in analytical applications is discussed. Based on the available data, it could
be concluded that DESs have the potential to become an important component of analytical
methods in pharmaceutical analysis and provide environmentally sustainable and efficient
alternatives to conventional organic solvents. However, further research is needed to better
understand their properties and optimize their application in drug analysis.
AB  - Poslednjih godina, eutektički rastvarači privlače sve veću pažnju u različitim naučnim
disciplinama. Njihova jedinstvena svojstva, kao što su niska toksičnost, biorazgradivost, niska
cena i mogućnost primene u različitim oblastima, učinila su ih atraktivnom alternativom
konvencionalnim organskim rastvaračima. U farmaceutskoj analizi, gde su sve veći zahtevi za
ekološki prihvatljivim metodama, postavlja se pitanje da li eutektički rastvarači, kao „zeleni
rastvarači“, mogu da zamene organske rastvarače. Ovaj rad istražuje potencijalnu primenu
eutektičkih rastvarača u analizi lekova i ističe prednosti i izazove koje oni donose. Prikazani su
primeri upotrebe eutektičkih rastvarača u hromatografiji i u ekstrakciji lekova iz različitih
uzoraka. Pored toga, razmatrana je stabilnost i toksičnost eutektičkih rastvarača koji se koriste u
analitičkim metodama. Na osnovu dostupnih podataka, može se zaključiti da eutektički rastvarači
imaju značajan potencijal u pogledu upotrebe u analitičkim metodama u farmaceutskoj analizi i
pružanja ekološki održive i efikasne alternative konvencionalnim organskim rastvaračima.
Međutim, potrebna su dalja istraživanja kako bi se bolje razumela njihova svojstva i optimizovala
njihova primena u ispitivanju lekova.

rastvarači“, mogu da zamene organske rastvarače. Ovaj rad istražuje potencijalnu primenu
eutektičkih rastvarača u analizi lekova i ističe prednosti i izazove koje oni donose. Prikazani su
primeri upotrebe eutektičkih rastvarača u hromatografiji i u ekstrakciji lekova iz različitih
uzoraka. Pored toga, razmatrana je stabilnost i toksičnost eutektičkih rastvarača koji se koriste u
analitičkim metodama. Na osnovu dostupnih podataka, može se zaključiti da eutektički rastvarači
imaju značajan potencijal u pogledu upotrebe u analitičkim metodama u farmaceutskoj analizi i
pružanja ekološki održive i efikasne alternative konvencionalnim organskim rastvaračima.
Međutim, potrebna su dalja istraživanja kako bi se bolje razumela njihova svojstva i optimizovala
njihova primena u ispitivanju lekova.",

AB  - Abstract: The retention profile of six serotonin receptor ligands such as arylpiperazines (aripiprazole, ziprasidone, risperidone), and benzothiazepine derivatives (olanzapine, mianserin, quetiapine), was investigated on C8 alkyl and pentafluorophenylpropyl stationary phases. The experimental design methodology was used to define their retention behavior and achieve acceptable separation results. Both phases showed satisfactory selectivity for all compounds. The optimal separation among the structurally related arylpiperazines and benzothiazepines was found with the C8 phase at 25°C, using acetonitrile (40%, v/v) and 20 mM ammonium acetate as a mobile phase modifier. The selectivity and sensitivity performances of the selected C8 system were discussed considering the separation of aripiprazole and its related compounds. In addition, the specified conditions were validated for determining aripiprazole in pharmaceutical dosage forms. The developed reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography method can be successfully used for the rapid chromatographic profiling of serotonin receptor ligands and related analogs, providing increased selectivity during pharmaceutical analysis.

AB  - The healthcare structure in Bosnia and Herzegovina is decentralized, thus facing patients with unequal access to healthcare services especially for medicines. We attempted to develop a tool for assessment of the stakeholders’ opinion, and with the further research we will propose the model that can bring equality in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The developed tool will examine the attitudes and opinions for introducing new methods in the decision-making process during the listing of medicines for the reimbursement list in Bosnia and Herzegovina. An update of the country’s legislation can be presented based on the research results. The tool was developed using the Delphi method. The experts who were included in the Delphi panel are qualified for rating and discussing questions. The questionnaire was validated on a 5-point Likert scale, and additional comments or clarification are optional. Introductory interviews were held face to face with each expert individually; after that the panel was anonymous. After 3 rounds of Delphi, the created tool was checked through a pilot study. The developed tool was categorized into three groups based on the KAP survey (Knowledge, Attitudes, Perceptions). All questions were verified in pilot and with the results for Cronbach’s alpha 0.96. This shows sufficient reliability of the created questionnaire, and it can be administered to a larger group of respondents, which has been planned for further research. The findings provide reliable information useful for planning the country’s legislation updates and planning for the introduction of a new approach in the decision-making process.

AB  - Laser sintering, known as powder bed fusion–laser beam (PBF-LB), offers promising potential for the fabrication of patient-specific drugs. The aim of this study was to provide an insight into the PBF-LB process with regard to the process parameters, in particular the laser hatching distance, and its influence on the properties of zolpidem tartrate (ZT) tablets. PHARMACOAT® 603 was used as the polymer, while Candurin® Gold Sheen and AEROSIL® 200 were added to facilitate 3D printing. The particle size distribution of the powder blend showed that the layer height should be set to 100 µm, while the laser hatching distance was varied in five different steps (50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 µm), keeping the temperature and laser scanning speed constant. Increasing the laser hatching distance and decreasing the laser energy input led to a decrease in the colour intensity, mass, density and hardness of the ZT tablets, while the disintegration and dissolution rate were faster due to the more fragile bonds between the particles. The laser hatching distance also influenced the ZT dosage, indicating the importance of this process parameter in the production of presonalized drugs. The absence of drug-polymer interactions and the amorphization of the ZT were confirmed.

Crop residues (CRs) represent a resource that is available in
virtually unlimited quantities, but still the largest part
remains unused. Unfortunately, CRs are usually burned in
the field, which causes air pollution, contributes to global
warming by emitting greenhouse gasses, hinders nutrient
recycling, and negatively affects soil microbes through
overheating and carbon loss [1]. One of the most important
value-added components that can be isolated from CRs is
microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), a common excipient in
tablet formulation. In this study, a comparative evaluation
of tableting properties of MCC obtained from wheat and
corn CRs by different chemical treatment was performed. ...

AB  - Background and Purpose: The ligands of the imidazoline and α-adrenergic receptors are mainly imidazoline and guanidine derivatives, known as centrally-acting antihypertensives and compounds with potential use in various neurological disorders. The extent of their ionisation has a major influence on their behaviour in the different analytical systems. The main objective of this work was to compare the mechanism of chromatographic retention and electrophoretic mobility under acidic, neutral and basic conditions. Experimental Approach: Multiple Linear Regression and Partial Least Squares Regression were applied for the QSRR (quantitative structure-retention relationship) and QSMR (quantitative structure-mobility relationship) modelling and to select the most important molecular parameters describing the chromatographic and electrophoretic behaviour of the investigated compounds. Key Results: The most important molecular descriptors, such as the chemical composition of the compounds, lipophilicity, polarizability and molecular branching, in the selected QSRR models showed that an important insight into the retention behaviour can be derived from the 0D-, 1D- and 2D-descriptors. The electrophoretic mobility could be explained by 2D- and 3D-descriptors, which provide information on the molecular mass, size and complexity, as well as on the influence of charge transfer and electronic properties on the migration behaviour. Conclusion: All created QSRR/QSMR models met the stringent validation criteria and showed high potential in describing the chromatographic and electrophoretic behaviour of investigated compounds.

AB  - The acid–base equilibria of raloxifene and the mutual influence of pH and solubility enhancers on the solubility of raloxifene
hydrochloride were studied. The apparent ionization constants (pKa*) of raloxifene were determined potentiometrically in
methanol–water mixtures (45%-55% w/w), and the pKa values (pKa1 = 7.21 ± 0.02, pKa2 = 7.86 ± 0.02, pKa3 = 9.97 ± 0.04)
defining ionization in aqueous media were obtained by extrapolating the pKa* values to 0% of methanol. The obtained pKa
values were assigned to the corresponding ionization centers. Based on the ionization constants obtained in this study, the
distribution of the equilibrium forms of raloxifene was calculated. The solubility of raloxifene hydrochloride in 0.01 M
HCl, acetate buffer pH 4.5 and phosphate buffer pH 6.8 was studied with and without the presence of β-CD, HP-β-CD and
polysorbate 80. The most effective solubility enhancer of raloxifene hydrochloride in 0.01 M HCl was polysorbate 80 at a
concentration of 0.5%, while the influence of this enhancer in phosphate buffer pH 6.8 was negligible. The highest solubility
of raloxifene hydrochloride in acetate and phosphate buffer was achieved in the presence of 10–
3 M HP–β-CD which
was 1.3-fold higher in both 0.01 M HCl and acetate buffer and 2.3-fold higher in phosphate buffer than in the presence of
10–
3 M β-CD.

AB  - Human papillomaviruses (HPV) are the most common sexually transmitted pathogens
worldwide, leading to infections with a wide range of clinical manifestations: from benign
conditions to different types of cancer in women and men as well. Cervical cancer is highly
correlated with persistent high-risk-HPV (HR-HPV) infection, which is the key factor in
emergence of 99.99% of cervical cancer cases. The most effective way to prevent HPV-related
cancers is vaccination. There are three available prophylactic HPV vaccines: bivalent,
quadrivalent and nonavalent. The nonavalent vaccine is gradually replacing other HPV vaccines
in most countries and can be given from year 9, but it is commonly routinely implemented at the
age of 11 to 12. The World Health Organization has recognised cervical cancer as a global threat
and has announced the so-called 90-70-90 strategy to reduce and even eliminate cervical cancer.
This strategy implies that 90% of girls should be vaccinated by the age of 15, 70% of women
should be screened for cervical cancer, and 90% of women diagnosed with cervical disease should
receive adequate treatment. Although different treatment options are available: surgery, radiation
therapy, chemotherapy, and advanced target therapy using monoclonal antibodies, great efforts
are needed to achieve the goals set by the World Health Organization to eliminate cervical cancer.

Najčešći HPV-posredovan karcinom je karcinom grlića materice koji je u preko 99,99% slučajeva posledica infekcije. Najefikasniji način da se spreči razvoj perzistentne HR-HPV infekcije je vakcinacija. Dostupne su tri profilaktičke vakcine: dvovalentna, kvadrivalentna i devetovalentna. Devetovalentna vakcina pruža najširu zaštitu jer sadrži devet onkogenih HPV genotipova i postepeno zamenjuje ostale vakcine u svim zemljama. Sa vakcinacijom se može krenuti od 9. godine, ali se najčešće rutinski sprovodi kod dečaka i devojčica u uzrastu od 11 do 12 godina. Svetska zdravstvena organizacija je prepoznala karcinom grlića materice kao globalni problem i uvela takozvanu 90-70-90 strategiju u cilju smanjenja stope, pa čak i eliminacije karcinoma grlića materice. Ova strategija podrazumeva da 90% devojčica bude potpuno vakcinisano do 15. godine, 70% žena pristupi redovnom ginekološkom pregledu do 35. godine i ponovo do 45. godine i 90% žena sa promenama na grliću materice primi adekvatnu terapiju. Iako su dostupne različite terapije poput hirurškog tretmana, radioterapije, hemioterapije i ciljane terapije monoklonskim antitelima, i dalje su potrebni veliki napori da bi se dostigli ciljevi Svetske zdravstvene organizacije.

AB  - Antimicrobial resistance is a global threat, leading to an alarming increase in the prevalence of bacterial infections that can no longer be treated with available antibiotics. The World Health Organization estimates that by 2050 up to 10 million deaths per year could be associated with antimicrobial resistance, which would equal the annual number of cancer deaths worldwide. To overcome this emerging crisis, novel anti-bacterial compounds are urgently needed. There are two possible approaches in the fight against bacterial infections: a) targeting structures within bacterial cells, similar to existing antibiotics; and/or b) targeting virulence factors rather than bacterial growth. Here, for the first time, we provide a comprehensive overview of the key steps in the evaluation of potential new anti-bacterial and/or anti-virulence compounds. The methods described in this review include: a) in silico methods for the evaluation of novel compounds; b) anti-bacterial assays (MIC, MBC, Time-kill); b) anti-virulence assays (anti-biofilm, anti-quorum sensing, anti-adhesion); and c) evaluation of safety aspects (cytotoxicity assay and Ames test). Overall, we provide a detailed description of the methods that are an essential tool for chemists, computational chemists, microbiologists, and toxicologists in the evaluation of potential novel antimicrobial compounds. These methods are cost-effective and have high predictive value. They are widely used in preclinical studies to identify new molecular candidates, for further investigation in animal and human trials.

AB  - The effect of the lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg) and arsenic (As) mixture (MIX) on hematotoxicity development was investigated trough combined approach. In vivo subacute study (28 days) was performed on rats (5 per group): a control group and five groups orally exposed to increasing metal(loid) mixture doses, MIX 1- MIX 5 (mg/kg bw./day) (Pb: 0.003, 0.01, 0.1, 0.3, 1; Cd: 0.01, 0.03, 0.3, 0.9, 3; Hg: 0.0002, 0.0006, 0.006, 0.018, 0.06; As: 0.002, 0.006, 0.06, 0.18, 0.6). Blood was taken for analysis of hematological parameters and serum iron (Fe) analysis. MIX treatment increased thrombocyte/platelet count and MCHC and decreased Hb, HCT, MCV and MCH values compared to control, indicating the development of anemia and thrombocytosis. BMDIs with the narrowest width were identified for MCH [pg] (6.030E-03 - 1.287E-01 mg Pb/kg bw./day; 2.010E-02 - 4.290E-01 mg Cd/kg bw./day; 4.020E-04 - 8.580E-03 mg Hg/kg bw./day; 4.020E-03 - 8.580E-02 mg As/kg bw./day). In silico analysis showed target genes connected with MIX and the development of: anemia - ACHE, GSR, PARP1, TNF; thrombocytosis – JAK2, CALR, MPL, THPO; hematological diseases - FAS and ALAD. The main extracted pathways for anemia were related to apoptosis and oxidative stress; for thrombocytosis were signaling pathways of Jak-STAT and TPO. Changes in miRNAs and transcription factors enabled the mode of action (MoA) development based on the obtained results, contributing to mechanistic understanding and hematological risk related to MIX exposure.

BMDIs with the narrowest width were identified for MCH [pg] (6.030E-03 - 1.287E-01 mg Pb/kg bw./day; 2.010E-02 - 4.290E-01 mg Cd/kg bw./day; 4.020E-04 - 8.580E-03 mg Hg/kg bw./day; 4.020E-03 - 8.580E-02 mg As/kg bw./day). In silico analysis showed target genes connected with MIX and the development of: anemia - ACHE, GSR, PARP1, TNF; thrombocytosis – JAK2, CALR, MPL, THPO; hematological diseases - FAS and ALAD. The main extracted pathways for anemia were related to apoptosis and oxidative stress; for thrombocytosis were signaling pathways of Jak-STAT and TPO. Changes in miRNAs and transcription factors enabled the mode of action (MoA) development based on the obtained results, contributing to mechanistic understanding and hematological risk related to MIX exposure.",

AB  - Childhood obesity with its growing prevalence worldwide presents one of the most important health challenges nowadays. Multiple mechanisms are involved in the development of this condition, as well as in its associations with various cardiometabolic complications, such as insulin resistance, diabetes, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and cardiovascular diseases. Recent findings suggest that childhood obesity and associated dyslipidemia at least partly originate from epigenetic modifications that take place in the earliest periods of life, namely prenatal and perinatal periods. Hence, alterations of maternal metabolism could be fundamentally responsible for fetal and neonatal metabolic programming and consequently, for metabolic health of offspring in later life. In this paper, we will review recent findings on the associations among intrauterine and early postnatal exposure to undesirable modulators of metabolism, development of childhood obesity and later cardiometabolic complications. Special attention will be given to maternal dyslipidemia as a driven force for undesirable epigenetic modulations in offspring. In addition, newly proposed lipid biomarkers of increased cardiometabolic risk in obese children and adolescents will be analyzed, with respect to their predictive potential and clinical applicability.

AB  - Digital transformation in education and relevant calls for action are recognised global priorities aimed to support education and training in the digital age. The experiences from the emergency remote teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic and recent research findings reveal relevant advantages, challenges, as well as different students and teaching staff perspectives which should be carefully considered and integrated into institutional strategies and policies to improve and enrich students’ learning experience. The present study aimed to explore health sciences students' perspectives on online teaching and learning (T&L) in four domains—Satisfaction, Motivation, Interaction and Challenges, and to identify the preferred T&L models or tools. A total of 1,041 responses were collected, including 476 dental medicine (45.7%), 399 pharmacy (38.3%), and 166 medical students (15.9%). Overall Satisfaction was quite high (4.0 ± 1.2; out of 5), followed by satisfactory Interaction (3.4 ± 1.4), whereas Motivation was quite low on average (3.0 ± 1.5). Challenges in online T&L were not markedly expressed (3.0 ± 1.6). The majority of students (46.6%) opted for the blended model as the preferred T&L model. Moodle lessons were perceived as the most useful online T&L tool (45.5% of students), followed by video materials (32.2%). Other T&L tools which require more active student's role, such as short test/quiz, and group or team assignment were declared as less favourable. The findings from the current study may contribute to raising the awareness of academic staff and higher institutions management about the student attitudes and needs related to online T&L and inform institutional planning, decision-making and policy development.

AB  - Aging is closely related to the main aspects of multiple sclerosis (MS). The average age of the MS population is increasing and the number of elderly MS patients is expected to increase. In addition to neurons, N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are also expressed on non-neuronal cells, such as immune cells. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of NMDARs in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in young and aged rats. Memantine, a non-competitive NMDAR antagonist, was administered to young and aged Dark Agouti rats from day 7 after immunization. Antagonizing NMDARs had a more favourable effect on clinical disease, reactivation, and apoptosis of CD4+ T cells in the target organ of aged EAE rats. The expression of the fractalkine receptor CX3CR1 was increased in memantine-treated rats, but to a greater extent in aged rats. Additionally, memantine increased Nrf2 and Nrf2-regulated enzymes’ mRNA expression in brain tissue. The concentrations of superoxide anion radicals, malondialdehyde, and advanced oxidation protein products in brain tissue were consistent with previous results. Overall, our results suggest that NMDARs play a more important role in the pathogenesis of EAE in aged than in young rats.

AB  - Metals exert detrimental effects on various systems within the body, including the nervous system. Nevertheless, the dose-response relationship concerning the administration of low doses of metal mixtures remains inadequately explored. The assessment of neurotoxic effects of lead, cadmium, mercury, and arsenic mixture (MIX) administered at low dose ranges, was conducted using an in vivo approach. A subacute study was conducted on a rat model consisting of a control and five treatment groups subjected to oral exposure with gradually increasing doses (from MIX 1 to MIX 5). The results indicated that behavioural patterns in an already developed nervous system displayed a reduced susceptibility to the metal mixture exposure with tendency of higher doses to alter short term memory. However, the vulnerability of the mature brain to even minimal amounts of the investigated metal mixture was evident, particularly in the context of oxidative stress. Moreover, the study highlights superoxide dismutase's sensitivity as an early-stage neurotoxicity marker, as indicated by dose-dependent induction of oxidative stress in the brain revealed through Benchmark analysis. The narrowest Benchmark Dose Interval (BMDI) for superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity (1e-06 - 3.18e-05 mg As/kg b.w./day) indicates that arsenic may dictate the alterations in SOD activity when co-exposed with the other examined metals. The predicted Benchmark doses for oxidative stress parameters were very low, supporting “no-threshold” concept. Histopathological alterations were most severe in the groups treated with higher doses of metal mixture. Similarly, the brain acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity demonstrated a dose-dependent decrease significant in higher doses, while BMDI suggested Cd as the main contributor in the examined metal mixture. These findings imply varying susceptibility of neurotoxic endpoints to different doses of environmentally relevant metal mixtures, advocating for risk assessment and regulatory measures to address metal pollution and enhance remediation strategies.

AB  - Teucrium montanum L. and T. capitatum L. are two plant species with overlapping distribution
in the Balkan Peninsula, especially in Croatia, where several occurrences of their putative hybrid
species T. × rohlenae have been recorded. Next-generation sequencing of both species and de novo
assembly was carried out resulting in 120 contigs for T. montanum and 1685 contigs for T. capitatum
assembled. The Dig-up primers pipeline was used for SSR mining of both assemblies, applying
different criteria that resulted in 112 SSR candidates for testing. A subset of 41 SSRs was selected and
after two rounds of testing, twelve SSRs were developed and characterized. A total of 232 alleles
were detected with 5 to 29 alleles per locus, based on the test sample. The genetic diversity analysis
of three Teucrium taxa from a single location revealed a higher level of diversity in T. montanum
than in T. capitatum with intermediate values for the hybrid species. The NeighborNet diagram and
genetic structure analysis grouped the taxa into two separate clusters, the first of which consisted
exclusively of T. montanum, while the other was composed of intermixed T. capitatum and T. × rohlenae
individuals. The availability of SSR markers for two Teucrium taxa will allow in-depth analysis
of genetic diversity and structure, as well as molecular identification of their putative hybrids in
the future.

AB  - Pharmacist’s geriatric assessment can provide valuable insights into potential deprescribing targets, while including important information on various health-related domains. Data collected from a geriatric assessment questionnaire, for 388 patients, from the Croatian cohort of the EuroAgeism H2020 ESR 7 international project, along with guideline-based deprescribing criteria, were used to analyse potentially inappropriate prescribing of four medication groups (benzodiazepines (BZN), proton pump inhibitors (PPI), opioids, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID)), and to assess the deprescribing potential. Binary logistic regression was used to explore the effects of age, gender, number of medicines and diagnoses, self-reported health, frailty score, and healthcare utilization on the likelihood of needing deprescribing. More than half of participants (n = 216, 55.2%) are candidates for deprescribing, with 31.1% of PPI, 74.8% of NSAID, 75% of opioid, and 96.1% of BZN users meeting at least one criterion. Most common criteria for deprescribing were inappropriately long use and safety concerns. Women (aOR = 2.58; p < 0.001), those reporting poor self-reported health (aOR = 5.14; p < 0.001), and those exposed to polypharmacy (aOR = 1.29; p < 0.001) had higher odds of needing to have medicines deprescribed. The high rate of deprescribing potential warrants prompt action to increase patient safety and decrease polypharmacy. Pharmacist’s geriatric assessment and deprescribing-focused medication review could be used to lead a personalised approach.

AB  - Aims: The aim of this study was to compare the clinical decision-making for benzodiazepine deprescribing between a healthcare provider (HCP) and an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot GPT4 (ChatGPT-4). Methods: We analysed real-world data from a Croatian cohort of community-dwelling benzodiazepine patients (n = 154) within the EuroAgeism H2020 ESR 7 project. HCPs evaluated the data using pre-established deprescribing criteria to assess benzodiazepine discontinuation potential. The research team devised and tested AI prompts to ensure consistency with HCP judgements. An independent researcher employed ChatGPT-4 with predetermined prompts to simulate clinical decisions for each patient case. Data derived from human-HCP and ChatGPT-4 decisions were compared for agreement rates and Cohen's kappa. 
Results : Both HPC and ChatGPT identified patients for benzodiazepine deprescribing (96.1% and 89.6%, respectively), showing an agreement rate of 95% (κ=.200,P=.012). Agreement on four deprescribing criteria ranged from 74.7% to 91.3%(lack of indicationκ=.352,P< .001; prolonged useκ=.088,P=.280; safety concernsκ=.123,P=.006; incorrect dosageκ=.264,P=.001). Important limitationsof GPT-4 responses were identified, including 22.1% ambiguous outputs, genericanswers and inaccuracies, posing inappropriate decision-making risks.Conclusions : While AI-HCP agreement is substantial, sole AI reliance poses a risk forunsuitable clinical decision-making. This study's findings reveal both strengths andareas for enhancement of ChatGPT-4 in the deprescribing recommendations within areal-world sample. Our study underscores the need for additional research on chatbot functionality in patient therapy decision-making, further fostering the advance-ment of AI for optimal performance.

abstract = "Aims: The aim of this study was to compare the clinical decision-making for benzodiazepine deprescribing between a healthcare provider (HCP) and an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot GPT4 (ChatGPT-4). Methods: We analysed real-world data from a Croatian cohort of community-dwelling benzodiazepine patients (n = 154) within the EuroAgeism H2020 ESR 7 project. HCPs evaluated the data using pre-established deprescribing criteria to assess benzodiazepine discontinuation potential. The research team devised and tested AI prompts to ensure consistency with HCP judgements. An independent researcher employed ChatGPT-4 with predetermined prompts to simulate clinical decisions for each patient case. Data derived from human-HCP and ChatGPT-4 decisions were compared for agreement rates and Cohen's kappa.
