A Distinct Role of the Autonomic Nervous System in Modulating the Function of Lymphatic Vessels under Physiological and Tumor-Draining Conditions

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: Lymphatic vessels (LVs) are important in the regulation of tissue fluid homeostasis and the pathogenesis of tumor progression. We investigated the innervation of LVs and the response to agonists and antagonists of the autonomic nervous system in

Deprescribing drugs with anticholinergic effects in older patients with increased risk of dementia in the multicomponent intervention study AgeWell.de

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim Drugs with anticholinergic effects are often considered as potentially inappropriate medications, especially for older patients, and deprescribing such drugs may improve cognitive function. The aim was to investigate the effectiveness of counselling on drug risks as part of a multimodal intervention to prevent cognitive decline. Methods The AgeWell.

Endothelium‐Independent Relaxation of Alkaloid Boldine in Isolated Aortas From Normotensive and Hypertensive Rats: Participation of Ca2+ Channels

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
Involvement of Ca2+ channels in boldine‐induced vascular relaxation. ABSTRACT The regulation of vascular tone plays a fundamental role in blood pressure homeostasis and still represents a significant challenge in clinical practice. Boldine, a naturally occurring alkaloid from Peumus boldus, has emerged as a compound of interest due to its therapeutic ...

Population Pharmacokinetic and Exposure‐Response Analysis of the Cognitive Effects of TAK‐071 in Participants With Parkinson Disease and Cognitive Impairment

Clinical Pharmacology in Drug Development, EarlyView.
Abstract TAK‐071 is a novel muscarinic M1 positive allosteric modulator under investigation for the treatment of cognitive impairment and falls associated with Parkinson disease (PD). This study evaluated population pharmacokinetics of TAK‐071 following single (1‐160 mg) and multiple (3‐15 mg once daily) oral‐dose TAK‐071 in 112 healthy participants ...

The Feasibility and Quality of the European Prescribing Exam: An International Multicenter Pilot Study Among 3109 Medical Students From 16 Medical Schools

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
The WHO Global Patient Safety Challenge “Medication Without Harm” emphasizes the need to improve doctors' prescribing competence. Junior doctors are particularly at risk of prescribing errors due to inadequate training. To address this, the European Prescribing Exam was developed to standardize and improve clinical pharmacology and therapeutics (CPT ...

Muscarinic cannabinoid suppression of excitation, a novel form of coincidence detection

Pharmacological Research
Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the chief psychoactive ingredient of cannabis, acts in the brain primarily via cannabinoid CB1 receptors. These receptors are implicated in several forms of synaptic plasticity – depolarization-induced suppression of ...

Beta‐blockers in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and concomitant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: Cardiovascular and respiratory outcomes

European Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
In total, 5084 patients from Swedish registries with both heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) were included. Confounding was handled by overlap weighting based on propensity scores for beta‐blocker use. Patients were followed up for 5 years, or until death, emigration from Sweden or
