Effects of Aspirin and Prednisone on Platelet Function and Thromboxane Synthesis in Healthy Dogs
Glucocorticoid administration is a risk factor for thromboembolism in hypercoagulable dogs, and it is unknown if aspirin counteracts glucocorticoid-induced hypercoagulability. The objective was to determine the effects of sustained aspirin and prednisone

2H-NMR studies of supercooled and glassy aspirin [PDF]
Acetyl salicylic acid, deuterated at the methyl group, was investigated using 2H-NMR in its supercooled and glassy states. Just above the glass transition temperature the molecular reorientations were studied using stimulated-echo spectroscopy and demonstrated a large degree of similarity with other glass formers.

Drug repurposing for COVID-19 using graph neural network and harmonizing multiple evidence [PDF]
Amid the pandemic of 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) infected by SARS-CoV-2, a vast amount of drug research for prevention and treatment has been quickly conducted, but these efforts have been unsuccessful thus far. Our objective is to prioritize repurposable drugs using a drug repurposing pipeline that systematically integrates multiple SARS-

Excited state dynamics of some nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs: a surface-hopping investigation [PDF]
Here we present a computational investigation of the excited state dynamics of 5 different active medical substances (aspirin, ibuprofen, carprofen, suprofen, indomethacin) which belong to the family of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). The nonadiabatic dynamics simulations were performed using the surface hopping method, with electronic ...

The encapsulation of hydrophobic drugs in Pluronic F127 micelles: the effects of drug hydrophobicity, solution temperature and pH [PDF]
Three drugs, Ibuprofen, Aspirin and Erythromycin, are encapsulated in spherical Pluronic F127 micelles. The shapes and the size distributions of the micelles in dilute, aqueous solutions, with and without drugs, are ascertained using cryo- Scanning Electron Microscopy and Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) experiments, respectively. Uptake of drugs above a

Cognitive Impairment and Age-Related Vision Disorders: Their Possible Relationship and the Evaluation of the Use of Aspirin and Statins in a 65 Years-and-Over Sardinian Population [PDF]
Neurological disorders (Alzheimer’s disease, vascular and mixed dementia) and visual loss (cataract, age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy) are among the most common conditions that afflict people of at least 65 years of ...

Low-dose aspirin for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular events in Denmark 1998–2018
Randomised controlled trials have shown a neutral or even unfavourable risk–benefit balance of aspirin for primary prevention of cardiovascular events. Using Danish nationwide registries, we investigated aspirin use and associated risks during the past ...

Thermodynamics of Surface Defects at the Aspirin/Water Interface [PDF]
We present a simulation scheme to calculate defect formation free energies at a molecular crystal/water interface based on force-field molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. To this end we adopt and modify existing approaches to calculate binding free energies of biological ligand/receptor complexes to be applicable to common surface defects, such as ...

Ticagrelor versus clopidogrel after intracranial stent angioplasty: a real-world study
ObjectiveIt was unknown whether a regimen of aspirin plus ticagrelor (aspirin-ticagrelor) attenuates ischemic vascular events without increasing bleeding risk in patients who had undergone intracranial stenting compared with an aspirin plus clopidogrel ...

Aspirin-Induced Mortality in AedesaegyptiMosquitoes [PDF]
The Aedes aegypti mosquito is a vector for many dangerous diseases including yellow fever, Zika, Chikungunya, and Dengue viruses! Currently, the best method for suppressing infection with these viruses is by controlling their arthropod vectors, however ...
