Network-Based Drug Optimization toward the Treatment of Parkinson's Disease: NRF2, MAO-B, Oxidative Stress, and Chronic Neuroinflammation.

Parkinson's disease (PD), the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, affects around 10 million people worldwide. It is a multifactorial disease marked by dopaminergic neuron loss with oxidative stress (OS) and neuroinflammation as key pathological drivers. Current treatments focus on dopamine replacement and are symptomatic, underscoring the urgent need for disease-modifying therapies.

Innovative pathological network-based multitarget approaches for Alzheimer's disease treatment.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease and is a major health threat globally. Its prevalence is forecasted to exponentially increase during the next 30 years due to the global aging population. Currently, approved drugs are merely symptomatic, being ineffective in delaying or blocking the relentless disease advance.

Multidimensional versus unidimensional pain scales for the assessment of analgesic requirement in the emergency department: a systematic review.

Pain is a multidimensional experience, potentially rendering unidimensional pain scales inappropriate for assessment. Prior research highlighted their inadequacy as reliable indicators of analgesic requirement. This systematic review aimed to compare multidimensional with unidimensional pain scales in assessing analgesic requirements in the emergency department (ED).

Microvasculature of the suspensory ligament of the equine hind limb.

Objective: To describe the microvascular anatomy of the equine hind limb suspensory ligament.

Animals: 18 hind limbs harvested from 9 adult horses euthanized for reasons unrelated to lameness.

Methods: A catheter was placed in the transected cranial tibial artery at the level of the mid-distal tibia for each hind limb and used to inject 120 to 150 mL of contrast medium (2 limbs) to identify principal vasculature using contrast-enhanced CT or India ink (11 limbs) to identify microvasculature using the Spalteholz tissue-clearing technique.

Nebulized glycosylated caffeic acid phenylether ester attenuation of environmental particulate-induced airway inflammation in horses.

The objective of this study was to determine the extent that nebulized glycosylated caffeic acid phenylether ester-4-O-alpha-D-glucopyranoside (G-CAPE) attenuates particulate-induced airway inflammation in healthy horses. Our hypothesis was that nebulization with G-CAPE would result in improved respiratory scores, higher arterial oxygen partial pressure, and less inflammatory airway infiltrates in horses with induced airway inflammation, compared with untreated controls. Five healthy adult horses were housed inside a climate controlled, closed barn on straw bedding and fed moldy grass hay for 16 days to induce airway inflammation.
