Study of the Effects of Nicotine and Caffeine for the Treatment of Parkinson's Disease
Appl Biochem Biotechnol. 2022 Sep 19. doi: 10.1007/s12010-022-04155-5. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTParkinson's disease (PD) is considered to be a highly severe neurological disorder. PD occurs due to a decrease in dopamine production by the degeneration of dopamine-secreting neurons. Genetic mutations, environmental toxins and lifestyle are some of the risk factors of the progressive neurodegenerative disorder PD. Parkin protein, which is encoded by the PARK gene, is one of the important proteins, which is one of the causative agents. The Parkin protein has several mutations which lead to the development of the disease. ...

Insights into binding molecular mechanism of hemagglutinin H3N2 of influenza virus complexed with arbidol and its derivative: A molecular dynamics simulation perspective

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRecently, the H3N2 influenza outbreak has caused serious global public health concern for future control of the next influenza pandemic. Since using current anti-influenza drugs targeting neuraminidase (oseltamivir and zanamivir) and the proton M2 channel (amantadine and rimantadine) leads to drug resistance, it is essential to seek new anti-viral agents that act on additional viral targets.

N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonists in improving cognitive deficits following traumatic brain injury: a systematic review
CONCLUSION: Although some benefits were observed, there are still some concerns regarding the efficacy and safety of NMDAR antagonists in improving post-TBI cognitive deficits. Further research is required to examine whether (i) these agents, notably amantadine, could accelerate cognitive improvement and shorten the hospital stay, (ii) these agents affect different cognitive domains/subdomains in the same direction, (iii) an optimal therapeutic time window exists, (iv) a member of this drug class can be proved to be effective without interfering in non-excitotoxic actions of glutamate, (v) they can be more effective as par...

Serendipity and Observations in Functional Neurosurgery: From James Parkinson ’s Stroke to Hamani’s & amp; Lozano ’s Flashbacks
Background: Serendipity and observations have a noble tradition in medicine, including neurology, and are responsible for many medical treatments (carbamazepine for tic douloureux, amantadine for Parkinson ’s disease, gabapentin for restless legs…). We aimed at examining the contribution of serendipity and observations to functional neurosurgery. Scholarly publications relevant to the history of functional neurosurgery for movement and psychiatric disorders were reviewed, starting from the pre-ste reotactic era. The documents were scrutinized with respect to indications for surgery, surgical methods, and brain targets,...
