    Abstract For early and long-term patient and graft survival, drug therapy in solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation inevitably involves polypharmacy in patients with widely varying and even abruptly changing conditions. In this second part, relevant medication briefing is provided, in addition to the scores defined in the previously published first part on the design of the Individual Pharmacotherapy Management (IPM). The focus is on the growing spectrum of contemporary polypharmacy in transplant patients, including early and long-term follow-up medications. 1. Unlike the available drug-drug interaction (DDI) tables, for the first time, this methodological all-in-one device refers to the entire risks, including contraindications, special warnings, adverse drug reactions (ADRs), and DDIs. The selection of 65 common critical drugs results from 10 years of daily IPM with real-world evidence from more than 60,800 IPM inpatient and outpatient medication analyses. It includes immunosuppressants and typical critical antimicrobials, analgesics, antihypertensives, oral anticoagulants, antiarrhythmics, antilipids, antidepressants, antipsychotics, antipropulsives, antiemetics, propulsives, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), sedatives, antineoplastics, and protein kinase inhibitors. As a guide for the attending physician, the drug-related risks are presented in an alphabetical overview based on the Summaries of Product Characteristics (SmPCs) and the literature. 2. Further briefing refers to own proven clinical measures to manage unavoidable drug-related high-risk situations. Drug-induced injuries to the vulnerable graft and the immunosuppressed comorbid patient require such standardized, intensive IPM and the comprehensive preventive briefing toolset to optimize the outcomes in the polypharmacy setting.

    Abstract For several, also vital medications, such as immunosuppressants in solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) remains the only strategy for fine-tuning the dosage to the individual patient. Especially in severe clinical complications, the intraindividual condition of the patient changes abruptly, and in addition, drug-drug interactions (DDIs) can significantly impact exposure, due to concomitant medication alterations. Therefore, a single TDM value can hardly be the sole basis for optimal timely dose adjustment. Moreover, every intraindividually varying situation that affects the drug exposure needs synoptic consideration for the earliest adjustment. To place the TDM value in the context of the patient's most detailed current condition and concomitant medications, the Individual Pharmacotherapy Management (IPM) was implemented in the posttransplant TDM of calcineurin inhibitors assessed by the in-house laboratory. The first strategic pillar are the defined patient scores from the electronic patient record. In this synopsis, the Summaries of Product Characteristics (SmPCs) of each drug from the updated medication list are reconciled for contraindication, dosing, adverse drug reactions (ADRs), and DDIs, accounting for defined medication scores as a second pillar. In parallel, IPM documents the resulting review of each TDM value chronologically in a separate electronic Excel file throughout each patient's transplant course. This longitudinal overview provides a further source of information at a glance. Thus, the applied two-arm concept of TDM and IPM ensures an individually tailored immunosuppression in the severely susceptible early phase of transplantation through digital interdisciplinary networking, with instructive and educative recommendations to the attending physicians in real-time. This concept of contextualizing a TDM value to the precise patient's condition and comedication was established at Halle University Hospital to ensure patient, graft, and drug safety.

    Abstract Colored light has important implications for human health and well-being, as well as for the aesthetics and function of various environments. In addition to its effects on visual function, colored light has significant effects on cognitive performance, behavior and systemic physiology. The aim of the current study was to comprehensively investigate how colored light exposure (CLE) combined with a cognitive task (2-back) affects performance, cerebral hemodynamics, oxygenation, and systemic physiology as assessed by systemic physiology augmented functional near-infrared spectroscopy (SPA-fNIRS). 36 healthy subjects (22 female, 14 male, age 26.3 ± 5.7 years) were measured twice on two different days. They were exposed to the sequence of blue and red light or vice versa in a randomized crossover design. During the CLE, the subjects were asked to perform a 2-back task. The 2-back task performance was correlated with changes in the concentration of oxygenated hemoglobin in the prefrontal cortex (red: r = -0.37, p = 0.001; blue: r = -0.33, p = 0.004) and the high-frequency component of the heart rate variability (red: r = 0.35, p = 0.003; blue: r = 0.25, p = 0.04). These changes were independent of the CLE. Sequence-dependent effects were observed for fNIRS signals at the visual cortex (VC) and for electrodermal activity (EDA). While both colors caused relatively similar changes in the VC and EDA at the position of the first exposure, blue and red light caused greater changes in the VC and EDA, respectively, in the second exposure. There was no significant difference in the subjects' 2-back task performance between the CLE (p = 0.46). The results of this study provide new insights into how human physiology and behavior respond to colored light exposure. Our findings are important for understanding the impact of colored light in our daily lives and its potential applications in a variety of settings, including education, the workplace and healthcare.

    Abstract The aging global patient population with multimorbidity and concomitant polypharmacy is at increased risk for acute and chronic kidney disease, particularly with severe additional disease states or invasive surgical procedures. Because from the expertise of more than 58,600 self-reviewed medications, adverse drug reactions, drug interactions, inadequate dosing, and contraindications all proved to cause or exacerbate the worsening of renal function, we analyzed the association of an electronic patient record- and Summaries of Product Characteristics (SmPCs)-based comprehensive individual pharmacotherapy management (IPM) in the setting of 14 daily interdisciplinary patient visits with the outcome: further renal impairment with reduction of eGFR ≥ 20 mL/min (redGFR) in hospitalized trauma patients ≥ 70 years of age. The retrospective clinical study of 404 trauma patients comparing the historical control group (CG) before IPM with the IPM intervention group (IG) revealed a group-match in terms of potential confounders such as age, sex, BMI, arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and injury patterns. Preexisting chronic kidney disease (CKD) > stage 2 diagnosed as eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m
