Varenicline Attenuates Memory Impairment in Amyloid-Beta-Induced Rat Model of Alzheimer's Disease.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive decline. Despite extensive research, therapeutic options remain limited. Varenicline, an αβ nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist, shows promise in enhancing cognitive function.

Acute Administration of Edaravone Improves Cognitive Impairment in a Mouse Model of mPFC Ischemia: Crosstalk Between Necroptosis, Neuroinflammation, and Antioxidant Defense.

Edaravone (Eda), a well-known free radical scavenger, has been reported as a possible therapeutic agent for ischemic stroke patients' recovery. This study aimed to investigate the effects of time-dependent treatment with Eda on medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) ischemia. Mice were randomly allocated into six groups: control, sham, normal saline, Eda-I, Eda-II, and Eda-III.

Coenzyme Q10 and vitamin E alleviate heat stress-induced mood disturbances in male mice: Modulation of inflammatory pathways and the HPA axis.

Heat stress, as an environmental stressor, can lead to temperature dysregulation and neuroinflammation, causing depression and anxiety by disrupting brain physiology and functional connectivity. This study looked at how co-enzyme Q10 (Q10) and vitamin E (Vit E), alone and together, affected heat stress-caused anxiety and depression symptoms and inflammation in male mice. Five groups were utilized in the study: control, heat stress (NS), Q10, Vit E, and the combination group (Q10+Vit E).

Determining the accuracy of the leukocyte esterase reagent strip test in the rapid diagnosis of adult septic arthritis.

Backgrounds: Septic arthritis is a dangerous disease that occurs when microorganisms enter synovial fluid. It needs fast and accurate management; otherwise, it can harm the patient's life. Currently, the tests measure WBC and PMN in SF, so we hypothesized to use a proxy that is easier and faster to measure.
