: Exercise-induced modifications in ECG parameters among individuals with an early repolarization pattern (ERP) have not been evaluated in detail. We aimed to assess this phenomenon, with potential associations with arrhythmogenesis. : Twenty-three young, healthy males with ERP (ERP+) participated in this study, alongside a control group, which consisted of nineteen healthy males without ERP (ERP-).

Organic polysulfides exert similar effects, but they are much more stable molecules, therefore these compounds are more suitable as drugs. In this study, we aimed to better understand the mechanism of action of organic polysulfides by identification of their binding site on the TRPA1 receptor.

Transdermal therapeutic systems (TTSs) enable convenient dosing in drug therapy. Modified silicone-polymer-based patches are well-controlled and cost-effective matrix diffusion systems. In the present study, we investigated the substance release properties, skin penetration, and analgesic effect of this type of TTS loaded with low-dose capsaicin.

Hydrogen sulfide (HS) is highly involved in pain processes; however, the development of ideal matrices for sulfide donor compounds remains a great pharmaceutical challenge. We aimed to establish a suitable transdermal therapeutic system (TTS) using the HS donor diallyl disulfide (DADS) as a model compound.

Materials and Methods: We studied the ERP-associated ECG changes, with potential clinical relevance, in 220 young (age 22.1 ± 1.

Bevezetés: Az EKG-n megjelenő korai repolarizációs mintázat diagnosztikai kritériumai és klinikai jelentősége elsősorban az elmúlt évtizedben került tisztázásra, ugyanakkor viszonylag kevés vizsgálat foglalkozott mind ez idáig a korai repolarizációs mintázathoz köthető esetleges strukturális szívelváltozások felderítésével. Módszer: Egy prospektív vizsgálat során azonosított 30, korai repolarizációs mintázatot mutató fiatal férfi (átlagéletkor: 22,5 ± 1,5 év) echokardiográfiás paramétereit hasonlítottuk össze egy 32 főből álló (átlagéletkor: 22,3 ± 1,9 év) megfeleltetett kontrollcsoport azonos jellemzőivel.
