Death Determination, the Dying Process and the Dead Donor Rule: A Critical Analysis of the Italian 20‐Minute No‐Touch Period in Controlled Donation After Circulatory Determination of Death

Bioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In Italy, controlled Donation after Circulatory Determination of Death (cDCDD) requires a 20‐min no‐touch period documented by continuous electrocardiographic monitoring. Since Italian law adopts a single brain‐based definition of death, this procedure serves as an indirect determination of the irreversible cessation of all brain functions ...

Cannabigerol reverses mechanical allodynia through α2A‐adrenergic modulation of thalamocortical signaling in chemotherapy‐induced neuropathy

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Chemotherapy‐induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a prevalent and treatment‐resistant side effect of platinum‐based chemotherapy, characterised by mechanical allodynia. Cannabigerol (CBG), a non‐psychoactive cannabinoid, has shown antinociceptive potential, but its site and mechanism of action remain unclear.

Direct evidence implicating the asymmetrical dimethylarginine (ADMA)‐dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase 1 (DDAH1) pathway in cerebrovascular dysfunction and stroke pathogenesis in mice

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Asymmetrical dimethylarginine (ADMA) is an endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), whereas dimethylaminohydrolase 1 (DDAH1) is primarily responsible for its metabolism. However, the roles of DDAH1 in cerebrovascular regulation are poorly understood. Furthermore, despite evidence that elevated ADMA levels are

Rosemary metabolite carnosic acid opens Kv1.1 via its voltage sensor and corrects Kv1.1‐linked episodic ataxia in mice

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Episodic ataxia type 1 (EA1) is an autosomal dominant neurological disorder caused primarily by loss‐of‐function mutations in the voltage‐gated potassium channel Kv1.1 (KCNA1). Small molecules that restore Kv1.1 activity hold promise as targeted therapies for EA1, yet current pharmacological strategies remain limited ...

Mechanical stiffness orchestrates distinct regulation of MRTFs and YAP/TAZ transcriptional cofactors in hepatocytes

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
MRTFs and YAP/TAZ proteins, or mechanosensitive transcriptional cofactors (MRTcoF), regulate common genes associated with cellular contractility and immune cell infiltration. Their differential regulation in response to stiffness is linked to changes in hepatocyte's aspect ratio. MRTFB does not undergo nuclear translocation under these conditions. This

Breathless on Standing: Hepatopulmonary Syndrome in Chronic Liver Disease

Annals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases
In patients with chronic liver disease, positional dyspnea (platypnea) and desaturation (orthodeoxia) should prompt immediate evaluation. Although the differential diagnosis includes many cardiopulmonary disorders, platypnea-orthodeoxia raises concern ...

Chd4 and ThPOK cooperate to preserve structural and electrophysiological integrity of the adult heart through Sprr1a repression

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Chd4/NuRD and ThPOK cooperate to maintain transcriptional repression and nuclear organization in adult cardiomyocytes. Chd4 loss reduces miR‐150‐5p, relieving repression of Sprr1a, while ThPOK loss further enhances Sprr1a activation, possibly through altered chromatin–lamina interactions.

A nomogram model based on clinical and 3D-EIT parameters for CTEPH diagnosis

Respiratory Research
Background Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is easily misdiagnosed. Three-dimensional (3D) electrical impedance tomography (EIT) can monitor the whole-lung perfusion at the bedside.
