Endocannabinoid signaling in stress, nausea, and vomiting
Abstract Background Classical antiemetics that target the serotonin system may not be effective in treating certain nausea and vomiting conditions like cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) and cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS). As a result, there is a need for better therapies to manage the symptoms of these disorders, including nausea, vomiting, and ...

Positive social relations, loneliness, and immune system gene regulation
In two studies of Korean adults, positive social relations—characterized by warmth, satisfaction, and trust—are inversely associated with conserved transcriptional response to adversity (CTRA) gene expression, independent of loneliness. Social flourishing may benefit human molecular well‐being, above and beyond the absence of social isolation or ...

Visual field testing and glaucoma drug prescribing patterns in Australia
Abstract Purpose To examine glaucoma practice patterns in Australia, focusing on visual field test uptake and antiglaucoma drug prescribing by optometrists and ophthalmologists. Design A serial cross‐sectional study was conducted to describe visual field testing charges and compare them to changes in comprehensive eye examination charges, as well as to

Due to the close connection between the autonomic nervous system and skeletal system, large amounts of evidence have shown that neuromodulation plays a crucial role in regulating bone metabolism. Clinically, neuromodulation has exhibited promising therapeutic effects in treating joint disorders by significantly reducing inflammation and clinical scores.

The heart, a secondary organ in the control of blood circulation
Abstract Circulation of the blood is a fundamental physiological function traditionally ascribed to the pressure‐generating function of the heart. However, over the past century the ‘cardiocentric’ view has been challenged by August Krogh, Ernst Starling, Arthur Guyton and others, based on haemodynamic data obtained from isolated heart preparations and

Abstract Adipose tissue has an established endocrine function through the secretion of adipokines. However, a role for bioactive metabolites and lipids, termed metabokines and lipokines, is emerging in adipose tissue‐mediated autocrine, paracrine and endocrine signalling and inter‐organ communication. Traditionally seen as passive entities, metabolites
