Anti-Therapeutic Action: visual disturbances

Synergistic, multi-level understanding of psychedelics: three systematic reviews and meta-analyses of their pharmacology, neuroimaging and phenomenology

mycolabadmin

This comprehensive study analyzed three classic psychedelic drugs—LSD, psilocybin (from magic mushrooms), and DMT—across three levels: how people experience them, how they affect brain activity, and how they interact with brain receptors. Researchers found that LSD produces more intense visual experiences than psilocybin, and all three drugs significantly alter brain connectivity patterns. The study highlights the importance of standardizing research methods to better understand how these compounds might help treat depression and addiction.

Efficacy of Rezafungin on Candida albicans Endophthalmitis in a Rabbit Model

mycolabadmin

Researchers tested a new antifungal drug called rezafungin against a serious eye infection caused by Candida fungus in rabbits. Rezafungin performed much better than two other commonly used antifungal drugs, completely eliminating the fungus from the eye while preventing infection-related damage. The drug’s ability to be given weekly instead of daily makes it more practical for treating patients with severe fungal eye infections.

Efficacy and safety of isavuconazole for invasive fungal infections: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

mycolabadmin

This study reviewed clinical trials comparing a newer antifungal drug called isavuconazole with other commonly used antifungal medications for treating serious fungal infections, particularly in patients with weakened immune systems. The research found that isavuconazole works just as well as other antifungal drugs but may have fewer side effects, especially liver problems. When compared directly with voriconazole, isavuconazole showed fewer drug-related side effects overall, making it a good alternative option for patients who cannot tolerate other antifungal treatments.

Efficacy and safety of isavuconazole for invasive fungal infections: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

mycolabadmin

Isavuconazole is an antifungal medication used to treat serious fungal infections in people with weakened immune systems. This study reviewed and analyzed three clinical trials to compare how well isavuconazole works compared to other antifungal drugs. The results showed that isavuconazole is just as effective as other antifungals but has fewer side effects, particularly fewer problems with liver health and drug-related adverse events. This makes isavuconazole a good alternative choice for patients who cannot use other antifungal medications or who are at risk of liver damage.
