Complication Rates Following Cerebral and Coronary Angiography: Nationwide Analysis 2008-2014.

Catheter-based angiography is an essential procedure for the diagnosis and treatment of vascular complications in patients. Since cerebral and coronary angiography are similar techniques that utilize the same access sites and general principles, the associated risks overlap and should be identified to help direct patient care. The purpose of this study was to determine complication rates in a combined cohort of cerebral and coronary angiography patients, as well as conduct a comparative analysis of coronary and cerebral angiography complications.

The Use of a Suprascapular Nerve Block to Facilitate the Reduction of an Anterior Shoulder Dislocation: An Alternative for Elderly and Patients With Cardiopulmonary Comorbidities?

Background: Anterior shoulder dislocation is a common presentation to the emergency department (ED). Dislocations are spontaneous or traumatic. Generally, a reduction is performed under procedural sedation and analgesia (PSA).

Histamine H Receptor Ligands-KSK-59 and KSK-73-Reduce Body Weight Gain in a Rat Model of Excessive Eating.

Noting the worldwide rapid increase in the prevalence of overweight and obesity new effective drugs are now being sought to combat these diseases. Histamine H receptor antagonists may represent an effective therapy as they have been shown to modulate histamine synthesis and release and affect a number of other neurotransmitters (norepinephrine, acetylcholine, γ-aminobutyric acid, serotonin, substance P) thus influencing the food intake. Based on the preliminary studies determining affinity, intrinsic activity, and selected pharmacokinetic parameters, two histamine H receptor ligands were selected.

The Phenoxyalkyltriazine Antagonists for 5-HT Receptor with Promising Procognitive and Pharmacokinetic Properties In Vivo in Search for a Novel Therapeutic Approach to Dementia Diseases.

Among the serotonin receptors, one of the most recently discovered 5-HT subtype is an important protein target and its ligands may play a key role in the innovative treatment of cognitive disorders. However, none of its selective ligands have reached the pharmaceutical market yet. Recently, a new chemical class of potent 5-HT receptor agents, the 1,3,5-triazine-piperazine derivatives, has been synthesized.

Rational design of new multitarget histamine H receptor ligands as potential candidates for treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

Design and development of multitarget-directed ligands (MTDLs) has become a very important approach in the search of new therapies for Alzheimer's disease (AD). In our present research, a number of xanthone derivatives were first designed using a pharmacophore model for histamine H receptor (HR) antagonists/inverse agonists, and virtual docking was then performed for the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. Next, 23 compounds were synthesised and evaluated in vitro for human HR (hHR) affinity and inhibitory activity on cholinesterases.
