Antipsychotics‐Induced Hyposalivation Mediated by Impaired Salivary Ca2+ Signaling
ABSTRACT Objectives Antipsychotic‐induced salivary dysfunction such as hyposalivation is a prevalent clinical challenge that severely compromises oral health and quality of life. Although typical and atypical antipsychotics have their therapeutic target in the central nervous system, their direct molecular mechanisms within the salivary glands remain ...

Thienocycloheptapyridazines as new muscarinic agents
A series of thienocycloheptapyridazines (3aa-dd), structurally related to Minaprine, was synthesized and compounds tested for their affinity towards muscarinic receptors. All of them showed Ki values in the micromolar range towards both the antagonist 3H-

Ion Channel Dysfunction and Therapeutic Targeting in Salivary Gland Disorders
ABSTRACT Objective Salivary gland hypofunction and xerostomia represent major clinical complications of radiation therapy, autoimmune disorders such as Sjögren's disease, and inherited epithelial ion transport defects. This review integrates current knowledge on ion channel dysfunction as a central mechanistic driver of salivary gland pathology and ...

Neurocardiac crosstalk in inherited cardiac arrhythmias and cardiomyopathy
Abstract figure legend In inherited cardiac arrhythmias and cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias are typically triggered by autonomic nervous system activity. Genetic mutations linked to these conditions cause pro‐arrhythmic alterations in both cardiomyocytes and neurons, with their pathophysiological crosstalk likely amplifying the manifestation of the disease.

Molecular Basis for Activation to Inhibition Switching in Kv7.2 Channel Modulators
The paper describes the serendipitous discovery of chemical manipulation allowing the activator‐to‐inhibitor switching in Kv7.2 channel modulators. The molecular determinants driving this switch have been rationalized by multidisciplinary investigation encompassing synthetic and analytical chemistry, in silico methods, cryo‐EM analysis ...

Mechanisms reducing parasympathetic activity in chronic hypoxia
Abstract figure legend Parasympathetic activity is reduced in chronic hypoxia, but the underlying mechanism(s) are unclear. Using β‐adrenergic blockade to isolate parasympathetic control of heart rate at sea level and after 9‐12 days at high altitude, we investigated whether (i) chemoreflex activation, (ii) increased pulmonary ventilation and/or (iii ...

Muscarinic Thioligands with Cyclopentane Nucleus
Some thio- and the benzoyl-derivatives of deoxamuscarine were synthesized and tested as muscarinic agonists using radioligand binding assay and functional tests.

Abstract figure legend In the muscular layer of long‐standing diabetic bladders increased myostatin expression promotes tissue remodelling by reducing the muscle‐to‐collagen ratio, ultimately diminishing bladder contractility. Maximal elastance – defined as the slope of the end‐emission pressure–volume relationship (EPR), derived from the regression ...

Anatomopathological and toxicological analysis of a dog poisoned with methomyl
Abstract A dog with suspected poisoning was submitted for postmortem examination. Generalised visceral congestion was observed in the abdominal cavity, with the liver, kidneys and gastrointestinal tract most severely affected. However, there was no macroscopic evidence of granular material in the gastric contents.

ABSTRACT Background Intensive care unit (ICU) delirium is a multifactorial acute brain dysfunction associated with prolonged hospitalization, increased morbidity and mortality, and higher healthcare costs. Despite these substantial negative impacts of delirium, the optimal prevention and treatment strategies are unclear.
