A retrospective comparison of the emergent use of fixed-dose four-factor prothrombin complex versus weight-based dosing for intracranial hemorrhage assessing medication delivery time and cost
CONCLUSIONS: A fixed-dosed strategy reduced time to 4F-PCC administration for warfarin reversal in ICH, as compared to a weight-based strategy; with no increase in LOS, mortality, or need for additional dosing. This also resulted in significant cost savings.PMID:37457648 | PMC:PMC10349319 (Source: International Journal of Physiology, Pathophysiology and Pharmacology)

Efficacy of 15% lysine cream in treating diabetic foot ulcers: a randomized interventional study
CONCLUSION: The present study demonstrates that a 15% lysine cream can significantly improve wound healing in diabetic foot ulcer patients, as measured by the BWAT, compared to standard treatment alone. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and to explore the underlying mechanisms of lysine's therapeutic effects.PMID:37457650 | PMC:PMC10349317 (Source: International Journal of Physiology, Pathophysiology and Pharmacology)

HIV-1 envelope protein gp120 modulation of glutamate effects on cortical neuronal synapses: implications for HIV-1-associated neuropathogenesis
Int J Physiol Pathophysiol Pharmacol. 2023 Jun 15;15(3):75-87. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTDespite the introduction of combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) HIV-1 virus persists in the brain in a latent or restricted manner and viral proteins, such as gp120, continue to play a significant disease-inciting role. Gp120 is known to interact with N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors (NMDARs) resulting in neuronal injury. Glutamate is the main excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain and plays an important role in cognitive function and dysregulation of excitatory synaptic transmission impairs neurocognition. It is our hypothesi...
