Psychotropic medication use among community dwellers with and without Parkinson's disease – A nationwide cohort study

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims We studied the prevalence of psychotropic use and psychotropic polypharmacy in persons with Parkinson's disease (PD) during a 10‐year follow‐up, because longitudinal studies on this topic are scarce although non‐motor symptoms of PD are often treated with psychotropics.

Sentience in cephalopod molluscs: an updated assessment

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article evaluates the evidence for sentience – the capacity to have feelings – in cephalopod molluscs: octopus, cuttlefish, squid, and nautilus. Our framework includes eight criteria, covering both whether the animal's nervous system could support sentience and whether their behaviour indicates sentience.

The effects of pioglitazone, a PPARγ receptor agonist, on the abuse liability of oxycodone among nondependent opioid users [PDF]

, 2016
Aims: Activation of PPARγ by pioglitazone (PIO) has shown some efficacy in attenuating addictive-like responses in laboratory animals. The ability of PIO to alter the effects of opioids in humans has not been characterized in a controlled laboratory ...

Unveiling Hepatic Protein Alterations in Neonatal and Infant Biliary Atresia

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Pediatric populations differ from adults in drug elimination capacity. While current scaling methods account for enzyme and transporter maturation, they overlook comorbidities, such as biliary atresia (BA), a liver disease appearing within the first 2–8 weeks of life that can progress to cirrhosis.
