Advances in Alternative and Integrative Medicine in the Treatment of Depression: A Review of the Evidence
Arch Iran Med. 2021 May 1;24(5):409-418. doi: 10.34172/aim.2021.59.ABSTRACTDepression is a chronic and debilitating psychiatric disorder that affects 300 million people worldwide. Pharmacotherapy is one of the treatments. Due to delay in initiating treatment efficacy and the incomplete response to mono-drug therapy in one-third of patients, new approaches need to be considered. One of the ways to overcome this resistance to treatment and to enhance standard medical practice is to add complementary medicines. We aimed to document research progress from studies on integrative medicine for the treatment of depression. Review ...

A Review on Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Drug Interactions of Adrenergic β-blockers with Clinically Relevant Drugs-An Overview
This article focuses on clinically relevant drug interactions of β-blockers with commonly prescribed medications. In addition to pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the drug interactions, recommendations for clinical practice are highlighted. The prescribers and the pharmacists are needed to be aware of the drugs interacting with β-blockers to prevent possible adverse drug interactions.PMID:34182907 | DOI:10.2174/1389200222666210614112529 (Source: Current Drug Metabolism)

A review of the protective effects of quercetin-rich natural compounds for treating ischemia-reperfusion injury
Biotech Histochem. 2021 Jun 23:1-10. doi: 10.1080/10520295.2021.1937701. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIschemia-reperfusion (IR) injury causes dysfunction of tissues and organs, and oxidative stress plays an important role. During IR, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are increased. Antioxidants are used to decrease ROS associated with IR. We review the protective effects of quercetin-rich natural antioxidants against IR. We searched PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus and Cochrane databases using the keywords: ischemic reperfusion, quercetin, antioxidant and herbal medicine. The effects of quercetin during IR have been reported for...

Case Report: Adolescent With Autism and Gender Dysphoria
We present the case of a birth-assigned female adolescent with GD, who enrolled in our clinic at the age of 16.5 years with “being transgender” as her main complaint accompanied by a wish for surgical breast removal. His (as the patient prefers to use male pronouns) medical and developmental history involved obesity, hyperlipidemia, delays in social and language development and specific interests and rituals. He presented with half a year of untreated depression, suicidal thoughts and non-suicidal self-injuring, social phobia and relative social isolation. Comprehensive clinical assessments revealed a female karyotype ...
