Cimetidine inhibits salivary gland tumor cell adhesion to neural cells and induces apoptosis by blocking NCAM expression [PDF]
Background Cimetidine, a histamine type-2 receptor antagonist, has been reported to inhibit the growth of glandular tumors such as colorectal cancer, however the mechanism of action underlying this effect is unknown.

Progress on the development of Class A GPCR‐biased ligands
Class A G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) continue to garner interest for their essential roles in cell signalling and their importance as drug targets. Although numerous drugs in the clinic target these receptors, over 60% GPCRs remain unexploited. Moreover, the adverse effects triggered by the available unbiased GPCR modulators, limit their use and

Anticholinergic burden, quantified using the Japanese Anticholinergic Drug Risk Scale, may be a predictor of frailty and sarcopenia in community‐dwelling older adults. Effective evaluation and management of anticholinergic burden using the Japanese Anticholinergic Drug Risk Scale are crucial for promoting healthy aging and mitigating adverse health ...

Clinical Manifestations and Case Management of Ebola Haemorrhagic Fever caused by a newly identified virus strain, Bundibugyo, Uganda, 2007-2008 [PDF]
A confirmed Ebola haemorrhagic fever (EHF) outbreak in Bundibugyo, Uganda, November 2007-February 2008, was caused by a putative new species (Bundibugyo ebolavirus). It included 93 putative cases, 56 laboratory-confirmed cases, and 37 deaths (CFR = 25%).

ABSTRACT Rationale The high chemodiversity of marine dissolved organic matter (DOM) has challenged identification of singular DOM components. To infer chemical structure features of DOM with accurately determined molecular formulas, we assessed if empirically determined elution properties of stoichiometrically identical isomers obtained from a chemical

NF-kB overexpression and decreased immunoexpression of AR in the muscular layer is related to structural damages and apoptosis in cimetidine-treated rat vas deferens [PDF]
Background: Cimetidine, histamine H-2 receptors antagonist, has caused adverse effects on the male hormones and reproductive tract due to its antiandrogenic effect.

Prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized trial of cimetidine in gastric cancer [PDF]
Cimetidine is thought to inhibit suppressor T-lymphocyte function and preliminary evidence from a randomized trial indicated that it might prolong survival for patients with operable and inoperable gastric cancer.

Abstract Background Impulse control disorders (ICDs), including hypersexuality, are associated with adverse effects of dopamine agonists, such as pramipexole, particularly in the treatment of Parkinson's disease and restless legs syndrome (RLS). The underlying mechanisms remain unclear in ICDs in patients with RLS, and no neuroimaging studies have ...

New Aspects of Thromboangiitis obliterans (von Winiwarter-Buerger's Disease) [PDF]
The existence of thromboangiitis obliterans as a clinical entity has been a matter of debate for many years. In contrast to other immunovasculitides there is no organ involvement while peripheral vessels are affected.
