Induction of chronic migraine phenotypes in a rat model after environmental irritant exposure [PDF]
Air pollution is linked to increased emergency department visits for headache and migraine patients frequently cite chemicals or odors as headache triggers, but the association between air pollutants and headache is not well understood.

Isosorbide dinitrate, with or without hydralazine, does not reduce wave reflections, left ventricular hypertrophy, or myocardial fibrosis in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction [PDF]
Background-Wave reflections, which are increased in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, impair diastolic function and promote pathologic myocardial remodeling.

Glutathione-S-Transferases as Potential Targets for Modulation of Nitric Oxide-Mediated Vasodilation
Glutathione-S-transferases (GSTs) are highly promiscuous in terms of their interactions with multiple proteins, leading to various functions. In addition to their classical detoxification roles with multi-drug resistance-related protein-1 (MRP1), more ...

A randomized, placebo-controlled trial of late Na current inhibition (ranolazine) in coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD): impact on angina and myocardial perfusion reserve. [PDF]
AimsThe mechanistic basis of the symptoms and signs of myocardial ischaemia in patients without obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) and evidence of coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is unclear.

Triptans and CGRP blockade - impact on the cranial vasculature [PDF]
The trigeminovascular system plays a key role in the pathophysiology of migraine. The activation of the trigeminovascular system causes release of various neurotransmitters and neuropeptides, including serotonin and calcitonin gene-related peptide ...

Role of aldehyde dehydrogenase in hypoxic vasodilator effects of nitrite in rats and humans [PDF]
Hypoxic conditions favour the reduction of nitrite to nitric oxide (NO) to elicit vasodilatation, but the mechanism(s) responsible for bioconversion remains ill defined.

Multi-View Substructure Learning for Drug-Drug Interaction Prediction [PDF]
Drug-drug interaction (DDI) prediction provides a drug combination strategy for systemically effective treatment. Previous studies usually model drug information constrained on a single view such as the drug itself, leading to incomplete and noisy information, which limits the accuracy of DDI prediction.
