The imaginary divide between mental and “physical” health: Dismantling dualism and reductionism to address a monumental mistake in medicine

JCPP Advances, EarlyView.
Abstract Given the importance of the link between mental and other medical conditions, JCPP Advances organized a special issue on the topic; yet since then, very few papers have focused on this area. As such, this editorial perspective aims not only to highlight the link between mental and other medical conditions, but also to (1) explore the origins ...

A Lactation Hormone of the Adrenal Cortex.

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1933
One of us1 showed that adrenalectomized rats could bear young if treated with cortin. No attempt was made to raise the young. Carr2 found that cortical extract made according to the Swingle and Pfiffner method did not support lactation. Swingle and Pfiffner3 have recently shown that their extract will support lactation in the dog.Extract made according

Increased expression of aromatase after focal cerebral ischemia: Relevance to neuroprotection and functional recovery

Neuroprotection, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Aromatase is the key enzyme in the biosynthesis of 17β‐estradiol, the most potent estrogen, which has pleiotropic neuroprotective properties. Aromatase levels increase in the brain after stroke, and its gene variants increase susceptibility to stroke. This study aims to determine whether aromatase overexpression improves stroke outcome and
