Influence of mirtazapine on salivary cortisol in depressed patients [PDF]
Unlike other antidepressants, mirtazapine does not inhibit the reuptake of norepinephrine or serotonin but acts as an antagonist at presynaptic alpha(2)-receptors, at postsynaptic 5-HT2 and 5-HT3 receptors, and at histaminergic H1 receptors. Furthermore,

Histamine and Delirium: Current Opinion
Delirium is a very common, but refractory clinical state, notably present in intensive care and in the growing aging community. It is characterized by fluctuating disturbances in a number of key behavioral features, namely cognition, mood, attention ...

Histamine stimulates the proliferation of small and large cholangiocytes by activation of both IP3/Ca2+ and cAMP-dependent signaling mechanisms [PDF]
Although large cholangiocytes exert their functions by activation of cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP), Ca(2+)-dependent signaling regulates the function of small cholangiocytes. Histamine interacts with four receptors, H1-H4HRs.

Percolation on interacting, antagonistic networks [PDF]
Recently, new results on percolation of interdependent networks have shown that the percolation transition can be first order. In this paper we show that, when considering antagonistic interactions between interacting networks, the percolation process might present a bistability of the equilibrium solution.

Improved survival in several cancers with use of H1-antihistamines desloratadine and loratadine
Background: We have previously shown an association with substantially improved survival in breast cancer and melanoma for desloratadine and loratadine users, and set out to find whether an improved survival can be seen in tumors with and without a known

Percolation on interdependent networks with a fraction of antagonistic interactions [PDF]
Recently, the percolation transition has been characterized on interacting networks both in presence of interdependent and antagonistic interactions. Here we characterize the phase diagram of the percolation transition in two Poisson interdependent networks with a percentage q of antagonistic nodes. We show that this system can present a bistability of

Pepducins as a potential treatment strategy for asthma and COPD. [PDF]
Current therapies to treat asthma and other airway diseases primarily include anti-inflammatory agents and bronchodilators. Anti-inflammatory agents target trafficking and resident immunocytes and structural cells, while bronchodilators act to prevent or
