A Scoping Review of the Oral Treatment Options for the Management of Detrusor Sphincter Dyssynergia
ABSTRACT Background Adult neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction may be associated with detrusor sphincter dyssynergia (DSD). Given the sparsity of the literature and the absence of official guidelines regarding the use of oral medications in the management of DSD, this scoping review aims to critically assess the available evidence to guide future

At high concentrations (> 10 μM), the β‐adrenergic blocker propranolol paradoxically increased intracellular cAMP levels in pancreatic β‐cells. This led to PKA‐induced RYR2 phosphorylation and extracellular Ca2+ influx, leading to CICR from the ER. CICR activated TRPM5, which augmented β‐cell electrical activity, extracellular Ca2+ influx, and insulin ...

Study on contraction and relaxation of experimentally denervated and immobilized muscles: Comparison with dystrophic muscles [PDF]
The contraction-relaxation mechanism of experimentally denervated and immobilized muscles of the rabbit is examined. Results are compared with those of human dystrophic muscles, in order to elucidate the role and extent of the neurotrophic factor, and ...

Pharmacological interventions other than botulinum toxin for spasticity after stroke. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The long-term risk of stroke increases with age, and stroke is a common cause of disability in the community. Spasticity is considered a significantly disabling impairment that develops in people who have had a stroke.

Role of Go/i subgroup of G proteins in olfactory signaling of Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]
Intracellular signaling in insect olfactory receptor neurons remains unclear, with both metabotropic and ionotropic components being discussed. Here, we investigated the role of heterotrimeric Go and Gi proteins using a combined behavioral, in vivo and ...

The inotropic consequences of selective Na+/Ca2+ exchanger inhibition is controlled by the actual transport balance [PDF]
The major goal of the cardiac Ca2+ handling is to control the actual magnitude and kinetics of the cell contractions and therefore contribute to the regulation of the cardiac output.
