Basis for diurnal exacerbation of neuropathic pain hypersensitivity and its application for drug development
J Biochem. 2021 Dec 30:mvab143. doi: 10.1093/jb/mvab143. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn addition to diurnal rhythms in physiology and behavior, a variety of pathological conditions also exhibit marked day-night changes in symptom intensity, exemplified by allergic rhinitis, arthritis, asthma, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, stroke, and chronic pain disorders. Currently, novel therapeutic approaches are facilitated by the development of chemical compounds targeted to key proteins that cause diurnal exacerbation of pathological events. Neuropathic pain is a chronic condition that occurs by tumor-induced ne...

Diagnostic reference levels and median doses for common clinical indications of CT: findings from an international registry
ConclusionsDRLs for CTDIvol and DLP for EUCLID clinical indications from diverse organizations were established and can contribute to dose optimization. These values were usually significantly higher in the US than in Europe.Key Points•Registry data were used to create benchmarks for 10 common indications for CT identified by the European Society of Radiology.•Observed US radiation doses were higher than European for 9 of 10 indications (except chronic sinusitis).•The presented diagnostic reference levels and median doses highlight potentially unnecessary variation in radiation dose.

U.S. Task Force Reconsiders Daily Low-Dose Aspirin Use for Preventing Heart Attacks in Adults Over 60
Older adults without heart disease shouldn’t take daily low-dose aspirin to prevent a first heart attack or stroke, an influential health guidelines group said in preliminary updated advice released Tuesday. Bleeding risks for adults in their 60s and up who haven’t had a heart attack or stroke outweigh any potential benefits from aspirin, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force said in its draft guidance. For the first time, the panel said there may be a small benefit for adults in their 40s who have no bleeding risks. For those in their 50s, the panel softened advice and said evidence of benefit is less clear....

Cerebellar Stroke and Leptomeningeal Carcinomatosis following Cement Leakage into the Vertebral Artery during Cervical Vertebroplasty
This report describes an unusual vertebral artery cement embolization during C3 transpedicular vertebroplasty performed under computed tomography (CT) guidance and fluoroscopy. The Institutional Review Board approved this case report, and the patient ’s consent for publication was obtained. A 54-year-old woman with an invasive lobular breast carcinoma suffered from cervical pain. A CT scan showed spinal osteolytic lesions. A thoracic vertebral biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of breast cancer metastasis.

Synthetically-tailored and nature-derived dual COX-2/5-LOX inhibitors: Structural aspects and SAR
Eur J Med Chem. 2021 Aug 27;225:113804. doi: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2021.113804. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTInflammation is a most complex pathological process that gives birth to different diseases. Different inflammatory mediators are released during an inflammation responsible for acute pain and chronic inflammatory diseases like cancer, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, neurodegenerative diseases, metabolic and cardiovascular disorders. The arachidonic acid pathway, which results in the production of inflammatory mediators, provides several targets for anti-inflammatory intervention. The most popularly used me...

Mental Disorders, Cognitive Impairment and the Risk of Suicide in Older Adults
This study aimed to present the relationship between cognitive impairment due to dementia, mood disorders and anxiety, and an increased risk of suicide among older people. Dementia is a disease where the risk of suicide is significant. Many studies demonstrated that older adults with dementia had an increased risk of suicide death than those without dementia. Similar conclusions apply to prodromal dementia Depression is also a disease with a high risk of suicide. Many researchers found that a higher level of depression was associated with suicide attempts and suicide ideation. Bipolar disorder is the second entity in mood ...

Caution, “normal” BMI: health risks associated with potentially masked individual underweight—EPMA Position Paper 2021
AbstractAn increasing interest in a healthy lifestyle raises questions about optimal body weight. Evidently, it should be clearly discriminated between the standardised “normal” body weight and individually optimal weight. To this end, the basic principle of personalised medicine “one size does not fit all” has to be applied. Contextually, “normal” but e.g. borderline body mass index might be optimal for one person but apparently suboptimal for another one strongly depending on the individual genetic predisposition, geographic origin, cultural and nutritional habits and relevant lifestyle parameters—all inclu...

Design and synthesis of the first indole-based blockers of Panx-1 channel
We present here a study aimed at obtaining the first class of selective Panx-1 blockers, a new topic for pharmaceutical chemistry, since all compounds used so far for the study of this channel have different primary targets. Among various scaffolds analyzed, the indole nucleous emerged, whose elaboration yielded interesting Panx-1 blockers, such as the potent 5-sulfamoyl derivatives 14c and 15b (I% = 100 at 50 μM). In vivo tests performed in the mouse model of oxaliplatin-induced neuropathy, demonstrated that the hypersensitivity was completely reverted by treatment with 15b (1 nmol, administered intrathecally), suggestin...

Molecules, Vol. 26, Pages 3208: Progress in PET Imaging of Neuroinflammation Targeting COX-2 Enzyme
hn Mann Neuroinflammation and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) upregulation are associated with the pathogenesis of degenerative brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), epilepsy, and a response to traumatic brain injury (TBI) or stroke. COX-2 is also induced in acute pain, depression, schizophrenia, various cancers, arthritis and in acute allograft rejection. Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging allows for the direct measurement of in vivo COX-2 upregulation and thereby enables disease staging, therapy evaluation and aid quantifying target occupa...
