Abstract Detergents provide essential membrane‐mimetic environments for studying G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs), but their molecular impact on receptor energetics remains incompletely understood. We combined ligand binding, thermostability measurements, and atomistic molecular dynamics to dissect detergent‐ versus ligand‐driven stabilization in a ...

Effective management of chronic lumbar back pain in five dogs using an erector spinae plane block
Abstract This retrospective case series evaluates the use of the ultrasound‐guided erector spinae plane block for managing chronic lumbar pain in five dogs unresponsive to conventional systemic analgesia. Each patient received a bilateral erector spinae plane block at either the L2/L3 or L3/L4 level under general anaesthesia. The injectate consisted of

Reflections on Consciousness in Intensive Care
ABSTRACT Evaluating consciousness in intensive care is pivotal to relieving suffering with analgesic or sedative drugs and in prognosis and diagnoses. The usual clinical perspective is to equate consciousness with responsiveness, assuming functional motor responses and sympathetic activity of the patient. Clinical diagnoses of coma may be wrong in more

Background and Purpose Riluzole, approved for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), has a glutamate‐modulating profile favourable for mitigating opioid addiction. It reduces neuronal glutamate release and enhances glutamate reuptake, offering advantages over agents that only increase glutamate reuptake.
