The regulatory effect of bromocriptine on cardiac hypertrophy by prolactin and D2 receptor modulation

Clinical and Experimental Hypertension, 2020
Background Bromocriptine, a dopamine agonist, used for the treatment of hyperprolactinemia, type 2 diabetes, ovarian hyper-stimulation syndrome, has also effects on the cardiac remodeling process, but the mechanism of action is unknown.

SGLT‐2 Inhibitors are Associated With a Lower Risk of Multiple Myeloma

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims We aimed to investigate drug response of sodium‐glucose transport protein‐2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in multiple myeloma (MM), as SGLT2i have potential favorable effects on conditions related to MM. Methods We conducted a pharmacoepidemiologic study with a US nationwide health insurance claim data using Cox models to investigate the ...

Neural Circuit Mechanisms of Disorders of Consciousness and Potential Therapeutic Targets of Brain Stimulation

CNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
This review integrates three hierarchical frameworks—ascending reticular activating system (ARAS), mesocircuit hypothesis, and intrinsic connectivity networks (ICNs)—to update the neural mechanisms of disorders of consciousness (DoC). We highlight emerging evidence for glutamatergic ARAS pathways, a bidirectional GPi–GPe mesocircuit regulating ...
