Determination and comparison of potential drug-drug interactions using three different databases in northern cyprus community pharmacies.
Drug interactions are common drug-related problems that can lead to adverse drug reactions and hospitalization. ⋯ This study showed that Medscape detected more potential DDIs than Drugs.com and Lexicomp. Therefore, we propose that more than one database should be used to evaluate and identify pDDIs in pharmacy.

Alstrom syndrome (AS) is one type of monogenic diabetic syndromes caused by mutation in the ALMS1. Due to rare prevalence and overlaps of clinical symptoms, monogenic diabetes is often misdiagnosed. ⋯ With whole-exome sequencing (WES), this patient was classified into monogenic diabetes and diagnosed as AS with one novel gene mutation identified. This study highlights the clinical application of WES in the diagnosis of monogenic diabetes.
