β-Adrenergic Receptor Kinase-1 Levels in Catecholamine-Induced Myocardial Hypertrophy [PDF]
Abstract —Pressure overload ventricular hypertrophy is accompanied by dysfunctional β-adrenergic receptor signaling due to increased levels of the β-adrenergic receptor kinase-1, which phosphorylates and desensitizes β-adrenergic receptors.

Status epilepticus: Updates on mechanisms and treatments
Abstract Status epilepticus (SE) consists of prolonged, self‐sustaining seizures and is a common neurological emergency that causes respiratory compromise and neuronal injury. Without prompt treatment, the seizures can become resistant to benzodiazepines, leading to the progressive evolution of established, refractory, and super‐refractory SE.

The Effect of Atenolol on CK-MB Levels in Hypertensive Patients
Atenolol is one of beta-adrenergic receptor blocking agent. It is widely used for the treatment of hypertension as a selective antihypertensive drug. But long term usage of atenolol may cause one of the cardiovascular diseases like myocardial infarction.

Heterogeneity in β-Adrenergic Receptor Kinase Expression in the Lung Accounts for Cell-specific Desensitization of the β2-Adrenergic Receptor [PDF]
The principal mechanism of homologous desensitization of the beta-adrenergic receptor (beta2AR) is phosphorylation of the receptor by the betaAR kinase (betaARK) or other closely related G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs). However, within a single organ such as the lung where many cell types express the receptor, the presence or extent of ...

Clinical and molecular characterization of a cardiac ryanodine receptor founder mutation causing catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia [PDF]
Background Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a difficult-to-diagnose cause of sudden cardiac death (SCD). We identified a family of 1400 individuals with multiple cases of CPVT, including 36 SCDs during youth.

ABSTRACT Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has emerged as the most prevalent chronic liver disease worldwide, closely linked to the global rising incidence of obesity and metabolic syndrome. This review synthesizes current evidence on the pathogenesis, gut–liver axis, and multidisciplinary management of MASLD within the ...
