Sarcopenia Is Associated With Mortality and Progression of Cirrhosis in Decompensated but Not Compensated Disease—A Multicentre Study

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
In a retrospective cohort of 1,624 adults with cirrhosis, sarcopenia was independently associated with unplanned hospitalization, death, and cirrhosis progression (or death) in patients with decompensated disease. In compensated cirrhosis, sarcopenia was associated only with a higher risk of unplanned hospitalization.

A case of canine urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder with skull and skeletal metastases

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Canine urinary bladder neoplasia is uncommon, representing less than 1% of canine neoplasms. Amongst cases of urinary bladder neoplasia in dogs, primary urothelial carcinoma is the most frequent. Urothelial carcinomas are malignant invasive tumours which tend to be slow growing and metastasise late.

PPAR gamma agonist normalizes glomerular filtration rate, tissue levels of homocysteine, and attenuates endothelial-myocyte uncoupling in alloxan induced diabetic mice

International Journal of Biological Sciences, 2008
Background: Homocysteine (Hcy) is an independent cardiovascular risk factor; however, in diabetes, the role of tissue Hcy leading to cardiac dysfunction is unclear.

Non‐canonical PKG1 regulation in cardiovascular health and disease

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
It is well established that the cyclic GMP‐dependent protein kinase I (PKG1) is canonically activated by cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), enabling its regulation of vascular tone, cardiac function and smooth muscle homeostasis. However, diverse non‐canonical stimuli of PKG1 have also been identified.

Variable electrophysiology before and after block of the two delayed rectifier potassium channels in groups of isolated rabbit ventricular cells

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Between‐cell differences in ventricular cardiomyocyte action potential duration (APD) and responses to ion channel block may contribute to pro‐arrhythmic dispersion of myocardial repolarisation. This study quantifies between‐cell physiological and pharmacological variability in the rabbit left ventricle (LV) and uses ...

Current concepts on ventricular fibrillation: A Vicious Circle of Cardiomyocyte Calcium Overload in the Initiation, Maintenance, and Termination of Ventricular Fibrillation

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2004
Based on recent experimental studies, this review article introduces the novel concept that cardiomyocyte Ca2+ and ventricular fibrillation (VF) are mutually related, forming a self-maintaining vicious circle in the initiation, maintenance, and ...

Circulating Musclin is associated with skeletal muscle function and subclinical cardiac dysfunction in patients with cancer

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Musclin (osteocrin) is a skeletal muscle‐derived peptide that has been implicated in cardioprotective signalling pathways. Its relevance in cancer patients, who frequently experience muscle wasting and cardiotoxicity, remains unclear. This study aimed to determine whether circulating Musclin levels reflect functional capacity and

Diaphragm‐specific effects of L‐citrulline in mdx mice highlight its potential as adjuvant of standard therapy in Duchenne muscular dystrophy

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose The absence of the protein dystrophin in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) leads to progressive muscle weakness, failing regeneration and deregulation of nitric oxide (NO) signalling. We focused on L‐citrulline, a precursor of L‐arginine, required for NO production in muscle, which is reduced in dystrophic mdx muscle ...

Cardiotoxicity of BRAF/MEK inhibitors

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma type B/B‐Raf proto‐oncogene, serine/threonine kinase (BRAF) and mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MEK) inhibitors have transformed outcomes in cancer therapy, particularly in melanoma. However, cardiovascular toxicities are increasingly recognized in real‐world clinical practice.
