The effect of chronic (14 days) administration of the serotonin 5-HT(1A) receptors agonist 8-OH-DPAT (0.05 mg/kg, s.c.) and the 5-HT(1A) receptors antagonist NAN-190 (0.1 mg/kg, i.p.) alone or in combination with the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor galantamine (1.0 mg/kg, i.p.) on depression and anxiety was studied in old (24 months) male rats with dementia of Alzheimer's type. The results indicated that chronic combined administration of 8-OH-DPAT with galantamine resulted in pronounced antidepressant and anxiolytic action.

Background: The development and approval of novel drugs are typically time-intensive and expensive. Leveraging a computational drug repurposing framework that integrates disease-relevant genetically regulated gene expression (GReX) and large longitudinal electronic medical record (EMR) databases can expedite the repositioning of existing medications. However, validating computational predictions of the drug repurposing framework remains a challenge.

Purpose: To determine the effect on intraocular pressure (IOP) of switching to a once-daily netarsudil/latanoprost fixed dose combination (FDC) from various topical treatment regimens including latanoprost monotherapy or latanoprost combined with other IOP-lowering agents for the treatment of open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

Methods: A total of 136 participants enrolled. Eligible participants were aged ≥18 years and had a current diagnosis of open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

Background: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) poses a significant health threat to the elderly population, leading to high morbidity and mortality rates. Serum ferritin, a critical indicator of iron metabolism, plays a pivotal role in inflammation and immune regulation. Nevertheless, its specific prognostic relevance in elderly patients with CAP remains unclear.

Background: Aging is caused by the progressive accumulation of various changes in the body, which is associated with an increase in free radicals and oxidative stress (OS). The aim of this study was to investigate the potential of caloric restriction (CR) and quercetin (QUER) in alleviating OS in aging and the involvement of the NAD (P) H quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1)/SIRT1 signaling pathway in these effects.

Methods: Two age groups of male Wistar rats (eight and 20 weeks of age) were included in the study and subdivided into normal diet (ND), ND with QUER (15 mg Kg, IP), ND with CR, and ND with QUER and CR groups.
