Abstract
Objective To comprehensively analyze characteristics of thyroid dysfunction associated with iodine contrast media (ICM) based on data from the FDA adverse event reporting system (FAERS). Methods Disproportionate analysis was employed to identify signals of thyroid dysfunction caused by ICM, and descriptive analysis was performed to examine the clinical characteristics of reported cases involving ICM-related thyroid dysfunctions. Results A total of 83 adverse event reports were identified, documenting thyroid dysfunctions associated with ICM agents. Treatment with ICM was significantly associated with higher reporting of hypothyroidism ([ROR] = 2.21, 95 % CI: 1.59-3.08; IC025 = 0.58) and hyperthyroidism (ROR = 3.49, 95 % CI: 2.37-5.13; IC025 = 1.14). Among the six ICM agents investigated, iodixanol demonstrated the highest signal strength in both hypothyroidism (ROR = 9.47) and hyperthyroidism (ROR = 5.44). Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism almost occurred in the first 30 days after ICM administration (76.9 % and 70 % of patients, respectively). Furthermore, the proportion of severe outcomes in hyperthyroidism was significantly higher than that in hypothyroidism (12/26 vs. 2/35, P = 0.009). Conclusion The present study highlights the varying risks of thyroid dysfunction associated with different ICM agents, with iodixanol exhibiting the highest signal intensity. Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism associated with ICM generally manifest within the first month following administration. Consequently, monitoring of thyroid function during this period is strongly recommended for ICM agents presenting higher risk profiles.

Esketamine in treatment-resistant depression patients comorbid with substance-use disorder: A viewpoint on its safety and effectiveness in a subsample of patients from the REAL-ESK study. Eur Neuropsychopharmacol 2023; 74:15-21.

Abstract
Esketamine, the S-enantiomer of ketamine, has recently emerged as a therapy for treatment-resistant depression (TRD), showing both rapid antidepressant action and good efficacy and high safety. It is also indicated for the acute short-term treatment of psychiatric emergency due to major depressive disorder (MDD) and for depressive symptoms in adults with MDD with acute suicidal thoughts/behavior. We here provide preliminary insights on esketamine nasal spray (ESK-NS) effectiveness and safety among patients with a substance use disorder (SUD) within the sample of patients with TRD collected for the observational, retrospective, multicentre REAL-ESK study. Twenty-six subjects were retrospectively selected according to the presence of a SUD in comorbidity. Subjects enrolled completed the three different follow-up phases (T0/baseline, T1/after one month, and T2/after three months) and there were no dropouts. A decrease in Montgomery-Asberg depression rating scale (MADRS) scores was recorded, thus highlighting the antidepressant efficacy of ESK-NS (MADRS decreased from T0 to T1, t = 6.533, df=23, p<0.001, and from T1 to T2, t = 2.029, df=20, p = 0.056). Considering tolerability and safety issues, one or more side effects were reported by 19/26 subjects (73%) after treatment administration. All reported side effects were time-dependent and did not cause significant sequelae; among them, dissociative symptoms (38%) and sedation (26%) were the most frequently reported. Finally, no cases of abuse or misuse of ESK-NS were reported. Despite study limitations related to the inherent nature of the study, a limited number of patients, and a short follow-up period, ESK-NS showed to be effective and safe in patients diagnosed with TRD comorbid with a SUD.
