Revisiting the merits of nifedipine [PDF]
Hypertension Research, 2011 Randomized trials of blood pressure reduction have shown a reduced risk of stroke and heart failure. Among blood pressure-lowering agents, blockers of the renin-angiotensin system, such as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and AT1 receptor antagonists (ARBs), are thought to have specific properties beyond blood pressure control, which ...

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Background and Purpose Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) is synthesised endogenously through cystathionine β‐synthase (CBS), cystathionine γ‐lyase (CSE) and 3‐mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3‐MST). Although exogenous H2S is known to produce vasodilatation, the vascular effect of H2S produced through 3‐MST is unknown. In this study, we demonstrate the effect

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Background and purpose The action potential underpinning calcium delivery for contraction in human uterine smooth muscle (myometrium) consists of an initial spike(s) followed by a prolonged plateau of depolarization to ⁓ −25 mV. The plateau duration establishes contraction duration, especially important in labour.

A Comparative Study to Determine the Efficacy of Atosiban versus Nifedipine in Management of Preterm Labour [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic ResearchIntroduction: Preterm Labour (PTL) remains a significant challenge in obstetrics, contributing to neonatal morbidity and mortality. The management of PTL involves the use of tocolytic agents to delay delivery, thereby allowing for further foetal ...

Cellular mechanisms of long‐term osmoregulation in magnocellular neurons
Journal of Neuroendocrinology, EarlyView.Abstract Osmoregulation is an essential homeostatic process that maintains the osmolality of the extracellular fluid (ECF) close to a physiological setpoint. Vasopressin (VP) plays a key role in osmoregulation and is secreted by the magnocellular neurosecretory cells (MNCs) of the hypothalamus.

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.One thousand and two patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) were observed over 10 years. Data were collected from 792 study participants. Severe periodontitis proved to be an independent risk factor for new cardiovascular events. Tooth brushing more than once a day and performing interdental hygiene were associated with decreased risk.

The Role of Oxidative Stress in Periodontitis
Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.Oxidative stress is involved in multiple chemical reactions that take place in different intracellular organelles: mitochondria, rough endoplasmic reticulum, peroxisomes, autophagy, and aging, and can be influenced by exogenous factors: nutrition, physical activity, psychological status, environmental conditions, microbiome, and drugs.
