Background: Pharmacotherapy of chronic kidney disease (CKD) consists of prescribing myriad of drugs such as antihypertensives, antidiabetics, and phosphate binders to delay disease progression and control the comorbidities, resulting in inherent variability in prescriptions. In addition, tendency to self-medicate may further aggravate the condition. Hence, the present study was planned to assess self-medication practices and variability in prescription patterns in CKD patients.

Objectives: Mitochondrial Ca uniporter (MCU) provides a Ca influx pathway from the cytosol into the mitochondrial matrix and a moderate mitochondrial Ca rise stimulates ATP production and cell growth. MCU is highly expressed in various cancer cells including breast cancer cells, thereby increasing the capacity of mitochondrial Ca uptake, ATP production, and cancer cell proliferation. The objective of this study was to examine MCU inhibition as an anti-cancer mechanism.

Low temperatures significantly impact growth in ectothermic vertebrates, though the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study investigates the role of transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) channels in mediating low temperature effects on growth performance and growth hormone (GH) resistance in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Prolonged exposure to low temperature (16°C for 35 days) impaired growth performance and induced GH resistance, characterized by elevated serum GH levels and decreased insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels.

Vitamin D (VD) has been implicated in regulating insulin secretion and pancreatic β-cell function. Yet, the underlying molecular mechanism of VD in glucose homeostasis is not fully understood. This study investigates the effect of VD in regulating insulin secretion and pancreatic β-cell function.

Aims: To study differences in cardiovascular prevention and hypertension management in primary care in men and women, with comparisons between public and privately operated primary health care (PHC).
Methods: We used register data from Region Stockholm on collected prescribed medication and registered diagnoses, to identify patients aged 30 years and above with hypertension. Age-adjusted logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) with 99% confidence intervals (99% CIs) using public PHC centers as referents.
