The identification of amyloid-binding compounds is a crucial step in the development of imaging probes and therapeutics for the detection and cure of Alzheimer's disease. Unfortunately, the process typically lags during the translation from in vitro to in vivo studies due to the impenetrable nature of the blood brain barrier (BBB). Here, we integrate fluorescence assay with MALDI imaging mass s...

Promethazine hydrochloride at a concentration of 0.033 mg/ml has pronounced effects on leukocyte metabolism and function. The drug inhibits the phagocytosis-induced increases in O(2) consumption and hexose monophosphate shunt activity. Associated with these effects is an inhibition of the iodination of zymosan particles and an inhibition of bacterial killing by the cell. At least two mechanisms...

Introduction. SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus 2) is expected to remain a persistent global threat. Therefore, development of disease 2019 (COVID-19) drugs the most urgent issue. Nirmatrelvir and ritonavir combination an oral antiviral drug with activity against SARS-CoV-2. highly efficacious in reducing risk COVID-19. The study describes validation high-perform...

Belly dancer's dyskinesia (BDD) is an extremely rare manifestation consisting of involuntary and repetitive rhythmic movements of the abdominal wall. These movements cannot be voluntarily suppressed but may be influenced by respiratory maneuvers. Investigations such as spinal cord and abdominal imaging usually fail to reveal any local abnormalities to explain the movement disorder. A 23-year-ol...

DNA and gold nanoparticles are co-immobilized at a gold electrode through elaborate self-assembly processes. This configuration has proven to be useful as a sensor for phenothiazine drugs, taking advantage of the well-known, relatively large surface area of gold nanoparticles and the strong intercalation between dsDNA and phenothiazine drugs. This modified electrode has demonstrated good sensit...

Background: Adding morphine as adjuvant intrathecal drug for cesarean section is a gold standard for post-operative analgesia according to literature, but because of frequent incidence of nausea, vomiting and pruritus, it has limited popularity. Various mechanisms have been demonstrated for the opioid-induced pruritus, with a variety of medications with different mechanisms of actions for preve...
