Abstract
The field of pharmacogenetics (PGx) holds great promise in advancing personalized medicine by adapting treatments based on individual genetic profiles. Despite its benefits, there are still economic, ethical and institutional barriers that hinder its implementation in our healthcare environment. A retrospective analysis approach of anonymized data sourced from electronic health records was performed, encompassing a diverse patient population and evaluating key parameters such as prescribing patterns and test results, to assess the impact of pharmacogenetic testing. A head-to-head comparison with previously published activity results within the same pharmacogenetic laboratory was also conducted to contrast the progress made after 10 years. The analysis revealed significant utilization of pharmacogenetic testing in daily clinical practice, with 1,145 pharmacogenetic tests performed over a 1-year period and showing a 35% growth rate increase over time. Of the 17 different medical departments that sought PGx tests, the Oncology department accounted for the highest number, representing 58.47% of all genotyped patients. A total of 1,000 PGx tests were requested for individuals susceptible to receive a dose modification based on genotype, and 76 individuals received a genotype-guided dose adjustment. This study presents a comprehensive descriptive analysis of real-world data obtained from a public tertiary hospital laboratory specialized in pharmacogenetic testing, and presents data that strongly endorse the integration of pharmacogenetic testing into everyday clinical practice.

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic or chronically recurrent Inflammatory dermatosis associated with multiple triggers that has a complex pathophysiological mechanism. It is characterized by a heterogeneous clinical expression, signs, and symptoms. Its etiology and pathogenesis are complex and are influenced by multiple immune-mediated factors. Treatment of AD can also be complex, given the high number of available drugs and multiple therapeutic targets. In this review, we summarize current literature on the efficacy and safety of topical and systemic drugs to treat moderate-to-severe AD. We begin with topical treatments such as corticosteroids and calcineurin inhibitors and subsequently address the latest systemic treatments, such as Janus kinase inhibitors (upadacitinib, baricitinib, abrocitinib, gusacitinib) and interleukin (IL) inhibitors, which have proven efficacious in AD, namely, dupilumab (IL-4 and IL-13), tralokinumab (IL-13), lebrikizumab (IL-13), and nemolizumab (IL-31). Given the large number of drugs available, we summarize the pivotal clinical trials for each drug, evaluate recent real-world experience in terms of safety and efficacy for purposes of compilation, and provide evidence to guide the optimal choice of therapy.

Abstract
In our clinical experience, more than half of patients do not present a complete response to biologic drugs, or drug loses its efficacy over time. Plasma determinations of drug and anti-drug antibodies levels are an objective tool for optimisation in these patients; however, established therapeutic ranges are not suitable, so the objective of this study was to study these patients and optimise their healthcare. We have made a retrospective, observational study, using data of plasma levels of drugs and anti-drugs antibodies of infliximab, adalimumab or Etanercept, we summarise all data and make a study of sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value on current therapeutic ranges. We have found a statistically significant association between subtherapeutic levels and therapeutic failure in psoriasis treated with infliximab and adalimumab. New ranges were found with higher sensitivity than the established ones, we propose 2-10 µg/mL therapeutic range for infliximab, 3-11 µg/mL for adalimumab, and 1-7 µg/mL for etanercept. In conclusion, levels of drug and anti-drug antibodies are a decisive tool for predicting therapeutic response. The current therapeutic ranges may have minimum values that are excessively high, owing to which lowering them significantly increases the sensitivity of the test in all cases, and negative predictive value in the case of etanercept. Further prospective studies are needed to prove the usefulness of these new ranges.
