Association between the severity of hard-to-treat psoriasis and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome: A hospital-based cross-sectional study in Jakarta, Indonesia
This study found most frequent components of MetS were abdominal obesity, decreased levels of HDL cholesterol, hypertension, hyperglycemia, and hypertriglyceridemia respectively. Individuals with severe hard-to-treat psoriasis had a 3.67 times more likely to have MetS rather than the mild-moderate group. (Source: PLoS One)

Evaluation of the early use of norepinephrine in major abdominal surgery on medical and surgical postoperative complications: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial (EPON STUDY)
This study aims to assess the benefit of norepinephrine versus ephedrine at the induction of anaesthesia to prevent postoperative complications following major abdominal surgery by preventing IOH.
Methods and analysis
The EPON STUDY is a prospective single-centre randomised controlled trial with the planned inclusion of 500 patients scheduled for major abdominal surgery at the Amiens University Hospital. The inclusion criteria are patients aged over 50 years weighing more than 50 kg with an American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status score of ≥2 undergoing major abdominal surgery under general anaesthesia. Pa...

Lifetime costs of alcohol consumption in Thailand: protocol for an incidence-based cost-of-illness study using Markov model
Introduction
Several prevalence-based cost-of-illness (COI) studies have been conducted to estimate the economic burden of alcohol consumption borne by a particular society in a given year. Yet there are few studies examining the economic costs incurred by an individual drinker over his/her lifetime. Thus, this study aims to estimate the costs incurred by an individual drinker’s alcohol consumption over his or her lifetime in Thailand.
Methods and analysis
An incidence-based COI approach will be employed. To project individuals’ associated costs over a lifetime, a Markov modelling technique will be used. The f...

Antihypertensive treatment during pregnancy induces long-term changes in gut microbiota and the behaviors of the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder offspring
Toxicol Appl Pharmacol. 2024 Apr 26:116946. doi: 10.1016/j.taap.2024.116946. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe pathogenesis of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has not been fully elucidated. Gestational hypertension could double the probability of ADHD in the offspring, while the initial bacterial communication between the mother and offspring has been associated with psychiatric disorders. Thus, we hypothesize that antihypertensive treatment during pregnancy may abate the impairments in neurodevelopment of the offspring. To test this hypothesis, we chose Captopril and Labetalol, to apply to pregnant spontan...

Renal macrophages induce hypertension and kidney fibrosis in Angiotensin II salt mice model
This study aimed to determine the effects of angiotensin II (Ang II) salt-induced hypertension on renal immune cells and to determine whether renal macrophages are involved in the induction of hypertension. Hypertension was induced by administration of Ang II and saline for two weeks. The effects of hypertension on kidney immune cells were assessed using flow cytometry. Macrophage infiltration in the kidney was assessed by immunohistochemistry and kidney fibrosis was assessed using trichrome stain and kidney real time-qPCR. Liposome encapsulated clodronate was used to deplete macrophages in C57BL/6J mice and investigate th...
