Memantine Alleviates PTSD-like Symptoms and Improves Dendritic Arborization through Modulation of the HPA Axis and Neuroinflammation in Rats.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) poses significant neurological and psychiatric challenges. Investigations into the glutamatergic system, particularly the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, are crucial for understanding PTSD mechanisms. This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic potential of the non-competitive NMDA receptor antagonist memantine in mitigating PTSD symptoms and to explore its underlying cellular and molecular impacts.

Safety and Efficacy of Calcitonin Gene-related Peptide Receptor Antagonists and Selective Serotonin Receptor Agonist in the Management of Migraine: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Background: Recently, US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonists (rimegepant, and ubrogepant), and selective serotonin receptor agonists (lasmiditan) in the management of migraine. However, the exact safety and efficacy profile of these drugs is unclear so far.

Methods: The study's primary objective was to determine the exact safety and efficacy profile.

An insight into crosstalk among multiple signalling pathways contributing to the pathophysiology of PTSD and depressive disorders.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depressive disorders represent two significant mental health challenges with substantial global prevalence. These are debilitating conditions characterized by persistent, often comorbid, symptoms that severely impact an individual's quality of life. Both PTSD and depressive disorders are often precipitated by exposure to traumatic events or chronic stress.

Melatonin Attenuates Extracellular Matrix Accumulation and Cardiac Injury Manifested by Copper.

Copper-induced cardiac injury is not widely reported in spite of its ability to cause oxidative damage and tissue injury. Structural and morphological changes in the cardiac tissue are triggered via oxidative stress and inflammatory responses following copper exposure. The varied and unavoidable exposure of copper through contaminated food and water warrants a safe and effective agent against its harmful effects.

The Complexity of Secondary Cascade Consequent to Traumatic Brain Injury: Pathobiology and Potential Treatments.

According to the World Health Organization, Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the major cause of death and disability and will surpass the other diseases by the year 2020. Patients who suffer TBI face many difficulties which negatively affect their social and personal life. TBI patients suffer from changes in mood, impulsivity, poor social judgment and memory deficits.
