Neurotransmitters and Immunity: Molecular Mechanisms, Biological Functions, Diseases, and Potential Therapeutic Targets. [PDF]
Role of neurotransmitters in multiple pathological processes. Various neurotransmitters, including ACh, EPI, NE, 5‐HT, histamine, DA, glutamate, GABA, and neuropeptides participate in regulating key pathological events, including tumor proliferation, tumor migration, remodeling of the immune microenvironment, and the development of NDDs and ...

Predicting steady-state endoxifen plasma concentrations in breast cancer patients by CYP2D6 genotyping or phenotyping. Which approach is more reliable? [PDF]
Abstract In previous studies, steady‐state Z‐endoxifen plasma concentrations (ENDOss) correlated with relapse‐free survival in women on tamoxifen (TAM) treatment for breast cancer. ENDOss also correlated significantly with CYP2D6 genotype (activity score) and CYP2D6 phenotype (dextromethorphan test).

Neuroprotective function of DJ-1 in Parkinson's disease. [PDF]
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is caused by dopaminergic neuronal death in the substantia nigra, resulting in a reduced level of dopamine in the striatum. Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction are thought to be major causes of neurodegeneration in PD.

Burden of arrhythmia in hospitalized HIV patients
Abstract Background The improved life expectancy observed in patients living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection has made age‐related cardiovascular complications, including arrhythmias, a growing health concern. Hypothesis We describe the temporal trends in frequency of various arrhythmias and assess impact of arrhythmias on hospitalized

Arctic warming and sea‐ice loss will have implications for the conservation of ice‐dependent ringed seals. A better understanding of their spatial ecology will help characterize emerging ecological trends and benefit management decisions. We present analyses of ringed seal tracking and dive data (n = 17). Activities occurring on varying temporal scales

Management of psoriasis as a systemic disease: what is the evidence?
Summary Background Psoriasis is a chronic, systemic immune‐mediated disease characterized by development of erythematous, indurated, scaly, pruritic and often painful skin plaques. Psoriasis pathogenesis is driven by proinflammatory cytokines and psoriasis is associated with increased risk for comorbidities, including, but not limited to, psoriatic ...

Abstract Background Drug‐induced photosensitivity refers to the development of cutaneous adverse events due to interaction between a pharmaceutical compound and sunlight. Although photosensitivity is a very commonly listed side‐effect of systemic drugs, reliable data on its actual incidence are lacking so far. Objectives A possible approach to evaluate

Leukocyte count and new‐onset diabetes mellitus in people with HIV: A longitudinal study
Abstract Objectives The risk of diabetes mellitus (DM) is increased in people with HIV. Chronic inflammation contributes to DM risk. High leukocytes are associated with DM in the general population, but in people with HIV, evidence of a leukocyte–DM association is limited. Methods We included participants of the Swiss HIV Cohort Study with new‐onset DM
