L‐type Voltage‐Gated calcium channels partly mediate Mechanotransduction in the intervertebral disc
This study investigated the expression and function of voltage‐gated ion channels in the intervertebral disc. One channel, Cav2.2, was found to be upregulated in degeneration, while L‐type voltage gated calcium channels were found to be involved in mediating calcium signaling and the response of disc cells to dynamic compression.

Models of the cardiac L‐type calcium current: A quantitative review
We discuss 73 published models of mammalian ICaL and find differences in gating kinetics, electrochemical driving force, and sensitivity to internal calcium concentrations, leading to considerable variability in their predictions. Abstract The L‐type calcium current (ICaL) plays a critical role in cardiac electrophysiology, and models of ICaL are vital

AbstractOverdose with 300 mg of nifedipine in a 54‐year‐old woman led to profound hypotension and reflex tachycardia. The patient was treated with intravenous fluids, calcium gluconate, and dopamine. Cardiac rhythm disturbances, hypoglycemia, and myocardial depression were not found. Recovery was rapid and uneventful. The clinical aspects of nifedipine

Should the non‐canonical pathway of nitric oxide generation be targeted in hypertensive pregnancies?
Abstract Hypertension in pregnancy is prevalent, affecting around 10% of pregnancies worldwide, and significantly increases the risk of adverse outcomes for both mothers and their babies. Current treatment strategies for pregnant women with hypertension are limited, and new approaches for the management of hypertension in pregnancy are urgently needed.

Assessment of the tocolytic nifedipine in preclinical primary models of preterm birth
Spontaneous preterm birth is the leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Tocolytics are drugs used in cases of imminent preterm birth to inhibit uterine contractions.
