The Long-Term Cardiovascular Risks of Duloxetine Use in Older Adults: A Retrospective Medical Record-Based Adverse Drug Reaction Assessment.

Duloxetine, a Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor (SNRI), is frequently used to treat diabetic peripheral neuropathy, depression, and fibromyalgia. However, its long-term cardiovascular implications in older individuals remain underexplored, particularly in those with pre-existing cardiovascular diseases. This medical record assessment aimed to evaluate the potential cardiovascular risks of duloxetine use in older persons after prolonged use.

Hexaconazole exposure may lead to Parkinson via disrupting glucocerebrosidase and parkin: molecular interaction, dynamics, MMPBSA and DFT based -silico predictive toxicology.

Hexaconazole is a known fungicide for agricultural purposes. It has bioaccumulation ability which makes it important for its toxicological characterization. There are various neurological impacts of pollutants on human health.

Molecular Mechanisms of Oxidative Stress in Acute Kidney Injury: Targeting the Loci by Resveratrol.

Reactive oxygen species are a group of cellular molecules that stand as double-edged swords, their good and bad being discriminated by a precise balance. Several metabolic reactions in the biological system generate these molecules that interact with cellular atoms to regulate functions ranging from cell homeostasis to cell death. A prooxidative state of the cell concomitant with decreased clearance of such molecules leads to oxidative stress, which contributes as a prime pathophysiological mechanism in various diseases including renal disorders, such as acute kidney injury.

Formulation of lemongrass oil ()-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles: an in vitro assessment study.

Unlabelled: (DC) stapf. (Gramineae) is a herb known worldwide as lemongrass. The oil obtained, i.

Global Prevalence and Associated Clinical Markers of Thrombocytopenia in People Living with HIV: Evidence from Meta-Analysis.

Thrombocytopenia is one of the complications in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients. To improve the health outcomes of patients living with HIV, it is important to understand the prevalence and pattern of associated key clinical markers globally. This meta-analysis, therefore, aimed to estimate the pooled prevalence of and associated clinical marker of thrombocytopenia globally.

Potential of paracetamol for reproductive disruption: molecular interaction, dynamics, and MM-PBSA based assessment.

Paracetamol is generally recommended for pain and fever. However, as per experimental and epidemiological data, widespread and irrational or long-term use of paracetamol may be harmful to human endocrine homeostasis, especially during pregnancy. Some researchers suggest that prenatal exposure to paracetamol might alter fetal development and also enhance the risk of reproductive disorders.

Multi-Epitope-Based Vaccine Candidate for Monkeypox: An In Silico Approach.

Currently, there are limited treatment options available for the monkeypox disease. We used a computational strategy to design a specific antigenic vaccine against pathogens. After using various immunoinformatic tools and filters, cytotoxic T-cell lymphocyte (CTL)-, helper T-cell lymphocyte (HTL)-, and interferon gamma (IFN-γ)-inducing epitopes, which comprised the vaccine, in addition to other parameters, such as antigenic and allergic profiles, were assessed to confirm the safety of the vaccine.

Sunscreen Ingredient Octocrylene's Potency to Disrupt Vitamin D Synthesis.

Octocrylene is a widely used ingredient in sunscreen products, and it has been observed that the use of sunscreen has been increasing over the last few decades. In this paper, we investigated the way in which sunscreen's ingredient octocrylene may disrupt normal vitamin D synthesis pathway, resulting in an imbalance in vitamin D levels in the body. The key techniques used for this insilico investigation were molecular docking, molecular dynamic (MD) simulation, and MMPBSA-based assessment.

Hexaconazole exposure ravages biosynthesis pathway of steroid hormones: revealed by molecular dynamics and interaction.

Widespread application of hexaconazole for agriculture purpose poses a threat to human health by disrupting normal endocrine homeostasis. To avoid adverse health effects on human, it is crucial to identify the effects of hexaconazole on key enzymes responsible for steroidal hormone synthesis. In view of this, present study was conducted to investigate the interaction mechanisms of hexaconazole with key enzymes in comparison with their food drug administration (FDA) approved inhibitor by molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations.

Morusflavone, a New Therapeutic Candidate for Prostate Cancer by CYP17A1 Inhibition: Exhibited by Molecular Docking and Dynamics Simulation.

Morusflavone, a flavonoid from L., was evaluated for its interactive ability and stability with CYP17A1, in comparison with abiraterone, which is a Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved CYP17A1 inhibitor. CYP17A1 inhibition is an important therapeutic target for prostate cancer.

Molecular docking and dynamics simulation to screen interactive potency and stability of fungicide tebuconazole with thyroid and sex hormone-binding globulin: Implications of endocrine and reproductive interruptions.

Tebuconazole is a widely used fungicide in agriculture, and it may easily enter in the human food chain. In addition, tebuconzaol skin permeation coefficient (Log Kp) is -5.55 cm/s and it does not violate Lipinski's rule.

S-allyl cysteine ameliorates cyclophosphamide-induced downregulation of urothelial uroplakin IIIa with a concomitant effect on expression and release of CCL11and TNF-α in mice.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the modulatory effect of S-allyl cysteine against cyclophosphamide-induced changes in uroplakin IIIa, CCL11 and TNF-α.

Methods: Mice were treated with cyclophosphamide (200mg/kg×7 d, ip). S-allyl cysteine (150mg/kg×7d, ip), and comparator compound mesna (40mg/kg×7d, ip) were administered 1h before and 4h after each cyclophosphamide dose.

The protective effect of α-lipoic acid against bisphenol A-induced neurobehavioral toxicity.

Bisphenol A (BPA), a well-known xenoestrogen, is ubiquitously utilized in manufacturing of polycarbonated plastics. Convincing evidence suggests that BPA induces neurotoxicity and certain behavioral deficits. α-Lipoic acid (ALA) supplementation has shown protective effect against heart and liver diseases, diabetes, and neurological debility associated with aging.

Cyclophosphamide-induced Down-Regulation of Uroplakin II in the Mouse Urinary Bladder Epithelium is Prevented by S-Allyl Cysteine.

The alkylating anticancer drug, cyclophosphamide (CP), induces a number of toxic effects including haemorrhagic cystitis (HC) in the urinary bladder. Uroplakins are unique urinary transmembrane proteins of urothelium, which may become potential targets of CP metabolites and reactive free radicals. Natural compounds, especially those rich in thiols, have shown protective effects against CP-induced HC.
