Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a potentially fatal disorder triggered by volatile anesthetics or succinylcholine, inducing a hypermetabolic crisis in susceptible patients. The caffeine-halothane contracture test (CHCT) remains a gold standard for MH detection. The authors describe a pregnant patient with a history of exertional rhabdomyolysis, who required urgent MH screening for administration of MH-triggering anesthetics.

Background: Jenacid Herbal Product (JHP) used for treating peptic ulcer disease in Uganda, sold over the counter, is approved by the National Drug Authority as a Traditional Herbal Product number THP 482. There have been no published studies on its safety and efficacy.
Objective: This study aimed to assess potential acute and subacute toxicity as well as the efficacy of JHP.

In this study, we develop the synthesis methods of fluoroalkenes and fluoroenynes via Suzuki-Miyaura and Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions using novel multihalogenated fluorovinyl ethers, which are easily prepared from the reaction between phenols and 2-bromo-2-chloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane (halothane). These reactions make use of the unique structure of multihalogenated fluorovinyl ethers, which contains a reactive bromine atom, to afford a series of fluoroalkenes and fluoroenynes in moderate to high yields.

Doxorubicin (DOX) is a widely used anticancer agent, but its clinical application is limited by significant off-target hepatorenal toxicity. Tadalafil (TAD), a selective phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor used mainly for erectile dysfunction and pulmonary arterial hypertension, has shown potential in reducing oxidative stress. This study investigated TAD's chemoprotective effects and underlying mechanisms in DOX-induced hepatorenal toxicity in rats over 12 days.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) often coexist; however, clinically available anti-AF drugs can exacerbate symptoms of HFpEF. M201-A suppressed ryanodine receptor-mediated diastolic Ca leakage, possibly inhibiting common pathological processes toward AF and HFpEF. To bridge the basic information to clinical practice, we assessed its cardiohemodynamic, anti-AF and ventricular proarrhythmic profile using halothane-anesthetized dogs (n = 4).
