Effectiveness of low-dose amitriptyline and mirtazapine in patients with insomnia disorder with sleep maintenance problems: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in general practice (DREAMING).

Background: Low-dose amitriptyline and mirtazapine are widely prescribed off-label for insomnia disorder. However, evidence from placebo-controlled studies is lacking.

Aim: To assess the effectiveness of low-dose mirtazapine and amitriptyline in patients with insomnia disorder.

The discovery of a new nonbile acid modulator of Takeda G protein-coupled receptor 5: An integrated computational approach.

The Takeda G protein-coupled receptor 5 (TGR5), also known as GPBAR1 (G protein-coupled bile acid receptor), is a membrane-type bile acid receptor that regulates blood glucose levels and energy expenditure. These essential functions make TGR5 a promising target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and metabolic disorders. Currently, most research on developing TGR5 agonists focuses on modifying the structure of bile acids, which are the endogenous ligands of TGR5.

Tokay gecko tail regeneration involves temporally collinear expression of HOXC genes and early expression of satellite cell markers.

Background: Regeneration is the replacement of lost or damaged tissue with a functional copy. In axolotls and zebrafish, regeneration involves stem cells produced by de-differentiation. These cells form a growth zone which expresses developmental patterning genes at its apex.

Respiratory Viruses in Patients With Hematological Malignancy in Boreal Autumn/Winter 2023-2024: EPICOVIDEHA-EPIFLUEHA Report.

Community-acquired respiratory viral infections (CARV) significantly impact patients with hematological malignancies (HM), leading to high morbidity and mortality. However, large-scale, real-world data on CARV in these patients is limited. This study analyzed data from the EPICOVIDEHA-EPIFLUEHA registry, focusing on patients with HM diagnosed with CARV during the 2023-2024 autumn-winter season.

Subnational burden estimates to find missing people with tuberculosis: wrong but useful?

Efforts to combat tuberculosis (TB) require reliable national and subnational data for planning, monitoring and evaluation. Yet, reliable subnational estimates of TB burden are hard to come by-especially at the lower levels of disaggregation such as district, community, or ward level. Several approaches have been proposed to generate subnational estimates of TB burden.
