Ouabain‐induced hypertension in rats: Mechanisms, variability and translational implications
Abstract Ouabain‐induced hypertension is a multifactorial and condition‐dependent phenomenon involving coordinated actions across vascular, renal and central nervous system pathways. At the vascular level, ouabain inhibits Na⁺/K⁺‐ATPase, particularly the α2‐isoform, leading to elevated intracellular Ca2⁺, enhanced vasoconstriction and structural ...

Abstract Menopause increases the risk of hypertension in women, yet the factors contributing to this important change remain unclear. Because early life stress has persistent and sex‐specific consequences on health, we hypothesized that ageing reveals the latent effects of neonatal maternal separation (NMS) on cardiovascular homeostasis in female rats.

Mechanisms of haemoglobin mass expansion following heat stress
Abstract figure legend Theorised mechanisms of heat stress‐induced erythropoiesis which may facilitate the expansion of haemoglobin mass. A, acute: heat stress‐induced renal ischaemia. Redistribution of blood flow away from the kidneys to facilitate thermoregulation during heat stress could reduce renal oxygen delivery, subsequently lowering renal PO2${

Management Strategies for Refractory Esophageal Varices
ABSTRACT Refractory esophageal varices that are difficult to control or unresponsive to endoscopic treatment remain a major clinical challenge in the management of portal hypertension. This review provides a comprehensive overview of treatment strategies for these cases, along with a comparative analysis of the American Association for the Study of ...

ABSTRACT Weaning is a stressful stage in the lives of young mammals. Early weaning, in particular, can lead to long‐lasting physiological and psychological changes. We investigated the effects of precocial weaning on anxiety, social behavior, cognition, and maternal behavior in adult African four‐striped mice (Rhabdomys dilectus chakae). Mice weaned at

Engineered probiotics secretes fusion proteins which potentially neutralized the toxins secreted by other microbial communities. ABSTRACT On a global scale, the escalating burden of infectious diseases, predominantly attributed to bacterial pathogens, especially drug‐resistant strains, has progressed into a critical concern for clinical management and ...

Tocolytic agents and the failure to improve neonatal outcomes
Abstract Premature delivery has long been a major problem in obstetrics. Increased perinatal morbidity and mortality as well as substantial health care costs, both short and long term, have driven the efforts to combat this complication. While multiple agents have been studied over the last 70 years leading to hundreds of publications and involving ...
