Kisspeptin as a test of hypothalamic dysfunction in pubertal and reproductive disorders

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract The hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis is regulated by the gonadotropin‐releasing hormone pulse generator in the hypothalamus. This is comprised of neurons that secrete kisspeptin in a pulsatile manner to stimulate the release of GnRH, and, in turn, downstream gonadotropins from the pituitary gland, and subsequently sex steroids and ...

Intestinal Atresia in Finland: Maternal Risk Factors, Prevalence, Associated Anomalies and Survival

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim We aimed to investigate prevalence, associated anomalies and survival of congenital intestinal atresia and to examine maternal risk factors for jejunoileal atresia (JIA). Methods All children born with, or pregnancies terminated because of, JIA or colonic atresia (CA) in Finland during 1987–2019 were identified from the Finnish Register of

Tau‐targeting active immunotherapy slows progression and reduces pathology in mouse models of tauopathy

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
The efficacy of the novel anti‐tau active immunotherapy, p5555kb, was tested using two mouse models of tau pathology. p5555kb inoculation increased the survival rate and reduced tau pathology in tau‐overexpressing P301L mice and decreased tau seeding in the brains of C57BL/6 mice injected with human‐purified Alzheimer's disease tau.

The relationship between the cannabinoids and cardiac remodelling: A comprehensive review of pivotal mechanisms and emerging evidence

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cardiac remodelling and fibrosis after myocardial infarction or during chronic diseases, such as arterial and pulmonary hypertension or diabetes mellitus, continue to be the more important prognostic factors in determining survival, and so the search for effective anti‐fibrotic interventions is an important target for research and therapy in cardiology.

May Fever Trigger Ventricular Fibrillation? [PDF]

, 2005
The clinical precipitants of ventricular fibrillation (VF) remain poorly understood. Clinical factors such as hypoxemia, acidosis or electrolyte imbalance, drug-related toxicity, autonomic nervous system disorders as well as viral myocarditis have been ...

Opening closed inward rectifier potassium channel doors

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Inwardly rectifying potassium (KIR) channels are essential regulators of membrane potential in excitable and non‐excitable tissues. Although KIR channels exhibit a biophysical preference for potassium influx due to voltage‐dependent block of outward current by polyamines and Mg2+, under physiological conditions, they predominantly mediate K+ efflux ...

Frequency Analysis of Atrial Fibrillation From the Surface Electrocardiogram [PDF]

, 2004
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice. Neither the natural history of AF nor its response to therapy are sufficiently predictable by clinical and echocardiographic parameters.

Cardiovascular Health in Women—Across the Lifespan

Clinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality and morbidity among women worldwide. However, CVD continues to be perceived as a predominantly male issue. CVD in women therefore remains understudied, underrecognized and undertreated.
