Pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) analysis is useful study in clinical pharmacology, also PK/PD modeling is major tools for PK/PD analysis. In this study, we sought to characterize the relationship between the cardiovascular effects and plasma concentrations of the beta blocker drugs carvedilol and atenolol using PK/PD modeling in healthy humans. One group received oral doses of atenolol (50 mg) and the other group received oral doses of carvedilol (25 mg). Subsequently, blood samples were taken, and the effects of the drugs on blood pressure were determined. Plasma concentrations of drugs were measured by HPLC, and PK/PD modeling performed by applied biophase model, plasma drug concentrations were linked to the observed systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) via an effect compartment. The model parameters were estimated using the ADAPT II program. In PK/PD analysis, it was observed the time delay between plasma concentration and effect and the time delay between SBP and DBP. The two time delays were properly explained by PD parameter "Keo" in applied biophase model. As conclusion, the biophase PK/PD model described the relationship between the plasma concentrations of the drugs and the cardiovascular effects, including the time delay between systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure.

Comparing the Effects of Square, 4-7-8, and 6 Breaths-per-Minute Breathing Conditions on Heart Rate Variability, CO Levels, and Mood.

Square and 4-7-8 breathing are popularly promoted by psychotherapists but have little empirical support. We hypothesized that breathing at 6 breaths per minute (bpm) would improve HRV, reduce blood pressure, and improve mood more than either square or 4-7-8 breathing. We also hypothesized square and 4-7-8 breathing would increase end-tidal CO (PETCO).

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of osilodrostat and hypercortisolism control on blood pressure (BP) and glycemic control in patients with Cushing's disease.
Methods: Pooled analysis of two Phase III osilodrostat studies (LINC 3 and LINC 4), both comprising a 48-week core phase and an optional open-label extension. Changes from baseline in systolic and diastolic BP (SBP and DBP), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and glycated hemoglobin (HbA) were evaluated during osilodrostat treatment in patients with/without hypertension or diabetes at baseline.

This study investigated the correlation between quantitative echocardiographic characteristics within 3 days of birth and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and its severity in preterm infants. A retrospective study was conducted on 168 preterm infants with a gestational age of < 34 weeks. Patients were categorized into NEC and non-NEC groups.

Background: Approximately 40% of individuals with diabetes worldwide are at risk of developing diabetic kidney disease (DKD), which is not only the leading cause of kidney failure, but also significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, causing significant societal health and financial burdens. This study aimed to describe the burden of DKD and explore its cross-country epidemiological status, predict development trends, and assess its risk factors and sociodemographic transitions.
Methods: Based on the Global Burden of Diseases (GBD) Study 2021, data on DKD due to type 1 diabetes (DKD-T1DM) and type 2 diabetes (DKD-T2DM) were analyzed by sex, age, year, and location.
