Neurobehavioral and molecular changes in a rodent model of ACTH-induced HPA axis dysfunction
In conclusion, ACTH administration resulted in a sex-specific onset of depressive-like symptoms and changes in brain regional expression of neurotrophic factors. These results suggest sex-specific mechanisms underlying the development of depressive-like behavior in a model of ACTH-induced HPA axis dysregulation.PMID:38580046 | DOI:10.1016/j.brainres.2024.148913 (Source: Brain Research)

Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy: Prevention and Treatment
Am Fam Physician. 2024 Mar;109(3):226-232.ABSTRACTDiabetic peripheral neuropathy occurs in up to 50% of patients with diabetes mellitus and increases the risk of diabetic foot ulcers and infections. Consistent screening and clear communication are essential to decrease disparities in assessment of neuropathic symptoms and diagnosis. Physicians should address underlying risk factors such as poor glycemic control, vitamin B12 deficiency, elevated blood pressure, and obesity to reduce the likelihood of developing neuropathy. First-line drug therapy for painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy includes duloxetine, gabapentin, am...

Novel, fast, and reliable electrochemical dsDNA biosensor based on O-terminated pristine nanocrystalline boron-doped diamond electrode for DNA interaction studies
We present a novel application of a nanocrystalline boron-doped diamond electrode (B-NCDE) for the construction of an electrochemical DNA biosensor based on double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) for various bioanalytical applications. Surface characterization of the transducer surface (prior and after the fabrication of negatively charged O-terminated surface - O-B-NCDE) was performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) that was further used for the voltammetric determination, scan rate dependence investigation, and repeatability examination of dsDNA electrochemical oxidation...

Evidence that keratinocyte microvesicle particles carrying Platelet-activating factor mediate the widespread multi-organ damage associated with intoxicated thermal burn injury
J Leukoc Biol. 2024 Mar 26:qiae078. doi: 10.1093/jleuko/qiae078. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThermal burn injuries can result in significant morbidity and mortality. The combination of ethanol intoxication with thermal burn injury results in increased morbidity through an exaggerated inflammatory response involving many organs. Recent studies have linked involvement of the lipid mediator Platelet-activating factor (PAF) in the pathology associated with intoxicated thermal burn injury (ITBI). The present studies tested the roles of PAF and the elevated levels of subcellular microvesicle particles (MVP) generated in respon...
