Elevated cortisol concentration in preterm sheep fetuses impacts heart development
Abstract The prepartum rise in cortisol promotes cardiac development and maturation. Here, we investigated the impact of elevated circulating cortisol during mid‐late gestation on cardiac growth and metabolism in fetal sheep. Saline or cortisol (2–3 mg in 4.4 mL/24 h) was infused into the fetal jugular vein from 109 to 116 days gestation (dG, term ...

Abstract Blood‐based measures are considered the gold standard for evaluating steroid hormone concentrations, particularly for confirmation of hormone profiles in female‐specific research. However, saliva sampling offers several advantages: it can be collected independently by participants, is less invasive and might be a more time‐ and cost‐effective ...

ABSTRACT Digoxin has long been used to manage atrial fibrillation and heart failure. While therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) became available in the late 1960s, recent studies suggest increased mortality at serum levels > 1.0 ng/mL, prompting reassessment of the traditionally accepted range (0.8–2.0 ng/mL).

Summary Excessive daytime sleepiness is a possible symptom of post‐COVID syndrome and is also the cardinal symptom of narcolepsy, a rare life‐long sleep disorder with a possible autoimmune background. Recent reports indicate that COVID‐19 infection may trigger narcolepsy. However, it remains unclear how best to identify and treat such cases.
