  • Decoction (SHYZD) shows potential in improving cognitive function and reducing neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease (AD) models, but its exact mechanisms are still unclear.!* -
  • In a study with SAMP8 mice, which model AD symptoms, researchers found poor learning and memory abilities, alongside increased levels of harmful proteins and inflammatory factors in the brain tissue compared to healthy controls.!* -
  • Treatment with SHYZD and the drug donepezil resulted in noticeable improvements in the mice's learning abilities, along with reductions in amyloid β1-42 and inflammatory markers, indicating a potential therapeutic effect for AD.!*

Background: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TS) is a rare acute cardiac disease with clinical features, symptoms, and electrocardiographic manifestations similar to those of acute myocardial infarction. We present the case of a patient with TS caused by a pheochromocytoma, which was confirmed by the postoperative pathology. Furthermore, we present the patient's subsequent management, treatment, and outcome.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate the frequency of potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) among elderly individuals living in communities in China, using the Beers and Chinese criteria for assessment.
  • A total of 8,235 elderly patients were analyzed, revealing that 37.07% had PIMs based on Chinese criteria, with estazolam and insulin being the most frequently prescribed.
  • Factors like older age, use of multiple medications (polypharmacy), and underlying health issues increased the risk of PIMs, highlighting the need for better medication practices to enhance the well-being of this population.
