Independent predictors of true positivity of positive myocardial perfusion imaging
CONCLUSIONS: The true positivity rate of SPECT-MPI is low. Moreover, this rate is much lower for women. The PPVs of different stress methods are similar. Age, presence of diabetes, and MHR ratio are independent predictors for true positive results of SPECT-MPI.GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT: https://www.europeanreview.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/Graphical-abstract-9.jpg.PMID:38497864 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202403_35595 (Source: Pharmacological Reviews)

The efficacy and safety of venetoclax combined with demethylating agents in elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: The combination of venetoclax and demethylating drugs has a good therapeutic effect on elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia, but it also induces some adverse events. Although this therapy has a small impact on the quality of life, further attention is still needed to reduce the occurrence of such adverse events.PMID:38497866 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202403_35597 (Source: Pharmacological Reviews)

High expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptor (ACE-2), transmembrane protease serine (TMPRSS), and P-selectin in platelets lead to thrombosis formation in COVID-19 patients
CONCLUSIONS: In summary, the interaction of ACE-2, TMPRSS, and P-selectin in platelets appears to be a key element contributing to COVID-19 severity via their impact on thrombus development. Further investigation into these pathways may provide possible treatment targets for reducing the severe consequences of the COVID-19 infection.PMID:38497867 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202403_35598 (Source: Pharmacological Reviews)

Prospects of targeting JAK/STAT signal transduction pathways for vasculitis
Eur Rev Med Pharmacol Sci. 2024 Mar;28(5):1864-1872. doi: 10.26355/eurrev_202403_35600.ABSTRACTVasculitis is the inflammation of blood vessels caused by autoimmunity and/or autoinflammation, and its etiology and pathogenesis remain largely unknown. The Janus kinase (JAK) and Signal transduction Transcription Activator (STAT) signal transduction pathways are a group of molecules involved in the major pathways by which many cytokines exert and integrate their functions, and their dysregulation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of a variety of autoimmune diseases. However, current data supporting the role of the JAK/STA...

Dry eye disease pathogenesis and clinical signs: searching for correspondence in the clinical practice
CONCLUSIONS: Literature evidence and clinical experiences suggest that basic diagnostic approaches (assessment of hyperemia, MMP-9 levels, and staining of the ocular surface with Lissamine green or fluorescein) represent useful tools to assess the inflammatory component of DED in everyday practice, providing a guide to establish the correct therapeutic strategy.PMID:38497871 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202403_35602 (Source: Pharmacological Reviews)

In vitro inhibition of uterine contractions using electrospun nanofibers loaded with nifedipine and ML7
CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate that human uterine contractions can be inhibited using calcium channel blocker (nifedipine) and myosin light chain kinase inhibitor (ML7) loaded nanofibers in uterine tissue strips. These results strongly suggested the potential for the development of locally effective and safe controlled drug release systems to prevent premature birth.PMID:38497872 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202403_35603 (Source: Pharmacological Reviews)

Effect of melatonin on reproductive function in propylthiouracil induced hypothyroidism in adult male rats
CONCLUSIONS: Based on the study findings, melatonin could mitigate gonadal dysfunction induced by hypothyroidism by improving several components of semen analysis, such as sperm motility and sperm viability, as well as by enhancing testosterone production focusing on oxidative and inflammatory stress as the underlying mechanisms.PMID:38497875 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202403_35606 (Source: Pharmacological Reviews)

Analysis of orthostatic intolerance symptoms in patients with premature ejaculation
CONCLUSIONS: The orthostatic intolerance symptoms of patients with PE were higher than those of the control group. There was a correlation between the severity of PE and the severity of orthostatic intolerance. This is the first study in the literature to reveal a relationship between orthostatic intolerance and PE.PMID:38497876 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202403_35607 (Source: Pharmacological Reviews)
