Bariatric surgery discovering unexpected silent gastric cancer: a case report.

This research paper discusses a case in which stomach cancer was incidentally discovered during a bariatric surgery procedure. Bariatric surgery is well-known for its significant effects on weight loss and overall health enhancement, and its prevalence has been rising globally. While its primary aim is weight reduction, it also offers the chance for surgeons to detect and manage other medical conditions.

Incremental dosage of the new antipsychotic mazapertine induces tolerance to cardiovascular and cognitive effects in healthy men.

Objectives: Mazapertine is a structurally novel antipsychotic compound with high affinity for D2, D3, 5-HT1a, and alpha 1 receptors. The objectives were to determine whether tolerance to orthostatic hypotension caused by this compound could be induced by slowly increasing the dose administered and to investigate its effect on cognitive and motor functions.

Methods: Thirteen healthy male subjects received incremental oral doses of mazapertine (from 5 to 50 mg over 7 days; n = 10) or placebo (n = 3) in part I and single doses in parts II (20 or 30 mg or placebo) and III (40 mg or placebo) in a double-blind fashion.
