The protective effects of statins in traumatic brain injury
Pharmacol Rep. 2024 Mar 7. doi: 10.1007/s43440-024-00582-9. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTraumatic brain injury (TBI), often referred to as the "silent epidemic", is the most common cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide among all trauma-related injuries. It is associated with considerable personal, medical, and economic consequences. Although remarkable advances in therapeutic approaches have been made, current treatments and clinical management for TBI recovery still remain to be improved. One of the factors that may contribute to this gap is that existing therapies target only a single event or pathology. However, ...

Opioid use disorder (OUD) and treatment for opioid problems among OUD symptom subtypes in individuals misusing opioids
CONCLUSIONS: There were considerable differences in OUD symptom patterns and substance use treatment among individuals who misused opioids. The findings indicate a substantial unmet need for OUD treatment and point to patterns of heterogeneity within OUD that can inform development of treatment programs.PMID:38414666 | PMC:PMC10897812 | DOI:10.1016/j.dadr.2024.100220 (Source: Pharmacological Reports)

Diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic potential of exosomal microRNAs in renal cancer
Pharmacol Rep. 2024 Feb 22. doi: 10.1007/s43440-024-00568-7. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRenal cell carcinoma (RCC) arises from the tubular epithelial cells of the nephron. It has the highest mortality rate among urological cancers. There are no effective therapeutic approaches and no non-invasive biomarkers for diagnosis and follow-up. Thus, suitable novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets are essential for improving RCC diagnosis/prognosis and treatment. Circulating exosomes such as exosomal microRNAs (Exo-miRs) provide non-invasive prognostic/diagnostic biomarkers and valuable therapeutic targets, as they can be easi...
