Trihexyphenidyl (THP) has been widely used for over three decades as pediatric pharmacotherapy in patients affected by segmental and generalized dystonia. In order to achieve effective and safe pharmacotherapy for this population, new formulations are needed. The aim of this work is the development of trihexyphenidyl orodispersible minitablets (ODMTs) for pediatric use.

Pancreatic cancer is among the deadliest cancers, with a grim prognosis despite advances in treatment. We conducted a population-based case-control study from Taiwan, linking Health and Welfare Data Science Center data to the Taiwan Cancer Registry, which offers a promising strategy for its treatment through drug repurposing. The study aims to identify the association of anti-parkinsonian drugs with pancreatic cancer risk across different age groups.

Motivation depends on dopamine, but might be modulated by acetylcholine which influences dopamine release in the striatum, and amplifies motivation in animal studies. A corresponding effect in humans would be important clinically, since anticholinergic drugs are frequently used in Parkinson's disease, a condition that can also disrupt motivation. Reward and dopamine make us more ready to respond, as indexed by reaction times (RT), and move faster, sometimes termed vigour.

Article Synopsis
- Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) significantly affects the elderly after surgery, leading to increased mortality and decreased quality of life, with no effective treatments currently available.* -
- A study involved 16-month-old male mice that either exercised or received exercise-conditioned plasma before undergoing surgery to evaluate the effects on cognitive performance and related biological mechanisms.* -
- Results showed that exercise-conditioned plasma replicated the cognitive benefits of exercise, improving memory and reducing neuroinflammation while boosting critical signaling pathways associated with brain health.*
