PharmVar GeneFocus: CYP1A2—Clinical Impact, Genetic Variation, and Updated Nomenclature
The Pharmacogene Variation Consortium (PharmVar) provides nomenclature for the highly polymorphic human CYP1A2 gene. CYP1A2 plays a crucial role in the biotransformation of several commonly used drugs, including antipsychotics, antidepressants, anxiolytics, and methylxanthines.

Serum Cholinesterase Activity in Elderly Female Patients with Different Screening Cognitive Status and Frailty Assessment Scores [PDF]
Introduction. Frailty and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) are common geriatric syndromes. Peripheral serum cholinesterase (pChE) is a laboratory indicator that may reflect dysfunction of cholinergic processes in the central nervous system. Published data

Beyond Cholinesterase Inhibition. Anti-Inflammatory Role and Pharmacological Profile of Current Drug Therapy for Alzheimer's Disease [PDF]
Inflammation is a common response of an individual against either exogenous or endogenous damage. The role of inflammation and of inflammatory cells recently emerged also in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. Experimental evidences show how

Abstract Large clinical data underscore that heart failure is independently associated to an increased risk of negative cognitive outcome and dementia. Emerging evidence suggests that cerebral hypoperfusion, stemming from reduced cardiac output and vascular pathology, may contribute to the largely overlapping vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease ...

Socio‐Occupational Functioning after Subthalamic Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson's Disease
Abstract Background Socio‐occupational functioning in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) treated with subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN‐DBS) is not fully captured by standard motor and quality‐of‐life scales. Objectives To characterize patient‐reported socio‐occupational functioning after STN‐DBS and explore associated clinical and ...
