Statistics in Pharmacology [PDF]
Statistics is an important tool in pharmacological research that is used to summarize (descriptive statistics) experimental data in terms of central tendency (mean or median) and variance (standard deviation, standard error of the mean, confidence interval or range) but more importantly it enables us to conduct hypothesis testing. This is of particular

Aging weakens the blood–brain barrier (BBB), increasing susceptibility to CNS cancers and complicating treatment. This review examines BBB deterioration, its impact on drug delivery, and potential interventions like targeting neuroinflammation and advanced therapies.

(+/-)-Tramadol is a central analgesic with low affinity for opioid receptors. The rate of production of its M1 metabolite (O-demethyl tramadol) is influenced by debrisoquine-type polymorphism, and this metabolite shows a higher affinity for opioid receptors than the parent drug.

Cerebello‐Prefrontal Connectivity Underlying Cognitive Dysfunction in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 2
ABSTRACT Objective Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is a hereditary cerebellar degenerative disorder, with motor and cognitive symptoms. The constellation of cognitive symptoms due to cerebellar degeneration is named cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome (CCAS), which has increasingly been recognized to profoundly impact patients' quality of life;

Cortical Excitability Before and After Long‐Term Perampanel Treatment for Epilepsy
ABSTRACT Objective Antiseizure medications (ASMs), which may influence cortical excitability, are the mainstay of epilepsy treatment. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) helps evaluate cortical excitability. We assessed changes in TMS responses using serial TMS measurements in people treated with an adjunctive noncompetitive AMPA‐receptor ...

ABSTRACT This study assessed whether continued treatment with anti‐CGRP monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is driven more by reductions in monthly migraine days (MMDs) or patients' global impression of change (PGIC), a patient‐reported outcome. Among 169 patients treated with anti‐CGRP mAbs, 21.3% discontinued due to ineffectiveness. PGIC responders (≥ 5) at

Chiral drugs : one drug or two? : Clinical pharmacology through the looking glass : reflections on the racemate vs enantiomer debate [PDF]
Most of the synthetic chiral agents administered as drugs are still marketed as racemic mixtures. Such drug enantiomers can differ substantially in their pharmacological, pharmacokinetic and toxic properties.

ABSTRACT Objective Sleep spindles are an electrophysiological fingerprint of the sleeping human brain. They can be described in terms of duration, frequency, amplitude, and density, and vary widely according to age and sex. Spindles play a role in sleep and wake functions and are altered in several neurological and psychiatric disorders.
