Pentoxifylline in Dogs With Osteoarthritis: Comparative Treatment and Efficacy Analysis With Meloxicam. [PDF]
12 dogs with bilateral knee osteoarthritis were treated with either meloxicam or pentoxifylline over 60 days. Pentoxifylline showed superior reductions in inflammatory markers (CRP, IL‐1β, IL‐6, TNF‐α) and improved joint biochemical parameters, particularly hyaluronic acid levels and cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP).

Overcoming Intrapulmonary Shunting: A Case Report of Hepatopulmonary Syndrome Post-Liver Transplantation Treated With Inhaled Treprostinil. [PDF]
Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) poses a significant challenge in liver transplant recipients, often resulting in persistent hypoxaemia postoperatively. This case highlights the persistence of hypoxaemia post‐liver transplantation in HPS patients and underscores the potential role of inhaled Treprostinil as a novel therapeutic approach to address this ...

cAMP-Inhibits Cytoplasmic Phospholipase A(2) and Protects Neurons against Amyloid-beta-Induced Synapse Damage [PDF]
A key event in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the production of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides and the loss of synapses. In cultured neurons Aβ triggered synapse damage as measured by the loss of synaptic proteins. α-synuclein (αSN), aggregates of which accumulate

Silence of the limbs: pharmacological symptomatic treatment of intermittent claudication [PDF]
Several oral "vasoactive" drugs claim to increase walking capacity in patients with intermittent claudication (IC). Naftidrofuryl, cilostazol, buflomedil, and pentoxifylline are the most studied molecules.
