The new beta-blockers 4-(2-hydroxy-3-isopropyl-amino-propoxy)-carbazole (carazolol) and 1-(4-acetoxy-2,3,5-trimethylphenyloxy)-3-isopropylamino-propan-2-ol (methypranol, Disorat) were compared with 14 well-known beta-blocking agents with regard to isoproterenol antagonism (equipotent doses in the rabbit i.v.), acute toxicity (LD50 in mice i.v.) and intrinsic sympathomimetic activity (increase in the heart rate of reserpinized rats i.p.). The following descending order for the equipotent beta-receptor blocking doses was obtained: nifenalol, DCI, pronethalol, practolol, sotalol, alprenolol, bupranolol, toliprolol, propranolol, methypranol, YB 2 pindolol, bunitrolol, oxprenolol, bunolol and carazolol. Carazolol had, in addition, the highest therapeutic index and at beta-receptor blocking doses virtually no intrinsic sympathomimetic activity.

Midbrain dopamine (mDA) neurons participate in a wide range of brain functions through an intricate regulation of DA biosynthesis. The epigenetic factors and mechanisms in this process are not well understood. Here we report that histone demethylase JMJD3 is a critical regulator for DA biosynthesis in adult mouse mDA neurons.

Adhesive tissue engineering scaffold (ATES) devices can be secured on tissues by relying on their intrinsic adhesive properties, hence, avoiding the complications such as host tissue/scaffold damage that are associated with conventional scaffold fixation methods like suturing or bioglue. This study introduces a new generation of three-dimensional (3D) bioprinted ATES systems for use as cardiac patches to regenerate the adult human heart. Tyramine-modified methacrylated hyaluronic acid (HAMA-tyr), gelatin methacrylate (GelMA), and gelatin were used to create the hybrid bioink formulation with self-adhesive properties.

Depression and cardiovascular diseases are two of the world's major health problems. Escitalopram (ESC) is widely used because of its safety in relation to other drugs in that class; however, it can affect the cardiovascular system. The present study evaluated the cardiovascular parameters of depressive-like male rats and the cardiovascular effects of ESC treatment on that condition.

Introduction: β-Blockers are essential for cardiovascular disease management but can induce respiratory issues, particularly with non-selective β-blockers. Their safety in asthmatic patients is debated.
Objective: This study investigates the link between different classes of β-blockers and the risk of asthma and asthma-like adverse events (AEs) using data from the Food and Drug Administration's Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS).
Ringer's lactate administered at 15 °C leads to a greater and more prolonged increase in blood pressure compared to 37 °C.

18 Participants were randomized to receive 30 ml/kg bodyweight Ringer's Lactate at 37° or 15 °C over 30 min. In a second session, participants were crossed over. Over a 120 min period after starting the fluid bolus we measured mean arterial pressure (MAP), cardiac output, systemic vascular resistance, and catecholamine levels.
