Alpha-2A Adrenoceptor Agonist Guanfacine Restores Diuretic Efficiency in Experimental Cirrhotic Ascites: Comparison with Clonidine. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
In human cirrhosis, adrenergic hyperfunction causes proximal tubular fluid retention and contributes to diuretic-resistant ascites, and clonidine, a sympatholytic drug, improves natriuresis in difficult-to-treat ascites.To compare clonidine (aspecific α2-

Case‐Based Immunology: B Cells and Systemic Sclerosis Interstitial Lung Disease

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is an important complication of systemic sclerosis (SSc), with high mortality and morbidity. Recent clinical studies in SSc‐ILD have led to US Food and Drug Administration–approved therapies in SSc‐ILD. Importantly, evidence from these studies has been extrapolated to guide management of ILDs of other systemic autoimmune

Tridax procumbens Linn. leaf extract promotes diuresis and reduces blood pressure in Deoxycorticosterone acetate-induced hypertensive male wistar rats

Journal of Research in Traditional Medicine
Background: Anti-hypertensive potentials of Tridax procumbens have been documented ex vivo. There is, however, a dearth of information on its effect in hypertensive rats.

Long‐Term Outcomes of Reduced Intensity Conditioning Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Systemic Sclerosis Patients with Impaired Cardiac Function

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective High intensity conditioning autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) is standard of care for patients with advanced SSc. The role of reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) prior to AHSCT in this population remains unclear. We conducted this study to determine the long‐term outcomes of RIC AHSCT in SSc patients with cardiac ...

Blood pressure effects of SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP‐1 receptor agonists: Mechanisms, trial evidence and Real‐world data

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP‐1 receptor agonists modestly lower blood pressure across diverse patient populations, including those without diabetes. These effects appear largely independent of glycaemic control and offer additive value in high‐risk patients with overlapping comorbidities.

Effect of inhibition of nitric oxide synthase on blood pressure and renal sodium handling in renal denervated rats

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2000
The role of sympathetic nerve activity in the changes in arterial blood pressure and renal function caused by the chronic administration of NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), an inhibitor of nitric oxide (NO) synthesis, was examined in sham and ...

Cardiovascular‐Kidney‐Metabolic Syndrome in People With HIV: An Emerging Frontier for Clinical Pharmacology

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
As antiretroviral therapy (ART) prolongs lifespans, people with HIV (PWH) face a new syndemic: Cardiovascular‐Kidney‐Metabolic (CKM) syndrome. Yet CKM in PWH is poorly characterized. Inflammation, complex pharmacokinetic (PK) alterations, ART‐associated metabolic effects, and gut dysbiosis amplify risk. Managing CKM increases medication burden, thereby

Progression and prognostic significance of electrocardiographic findings in patients with cardiac amyloidosis

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 809-818, April 2025.
Abstract Aims This study aimed to evaluate the change of the main electrocardiographic (ECG) characteristics and their prognostic role across the main subtypes of cardiac amyloidosis [light‐chain amyloidosis (AL) and hereditary (ATTRv) and wild‐type transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRwt)].

Antihypertensive effects of SGLT2 inhibitors; a letter to the editor on new concepts [PDF]

Journal of Nephropharmacology
SGLT2 inhibitors, primarily used to treat diabetes, have shown potential antihypertensive effects by reducing blood pressure through mechanisms like natriuresis, diuresis, and weight loss.
