Abstract:
Pharmacotherapy interventions following thermal or inhalation injury remain an underrepresented area of focus in the literature, with studies dispersed across a broad array of journals. This review builds upon several years of previous efforts to highlight and summarize the most recent, quality pharmacotherapy-focused studies in the context of thermal and inhalation injuries. Twenty-five geographically dispersed, board-certified pharmacists participated in the review. A Medical Subject Heading-based, filtered search resulted in 2234 manuscripts over the previous 2-year period. After manual review, 78 (3.5%) manuscripts were determined to have a potential impact on current pharmacotherapy practice. Summaries of the 10 articles scored to have the highest impact are included in this review. There exists a continued need for high-impact research addressing pharmacotherapeutic strategies in the management of patients with thermal and inhalation injuries.

However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
