Unlabelled: This study examined the impact of thiazide and RAAS antihypertensive medications vs DHP-RAAS medications on fracture risk. The close alignment of such settings with clinical use, combined with the potential bone benefits of ACEis and ARBs, provides enhanced accuracy in bone health evidence.
Purpose: To determine whether thiazides, combined with either angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) or angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), offer bone-protective benefits compared with dihydropyridine (DHP) drugs combined with ACEi or ARB.

Hypertension is one of the leading causes of premature death worldwide. Despite advances in conventional treatments, there remains a significant need for more effective and natural alternatives to control hypertension. In this context, sprouted barley extracts have emerged as a potential therapeutic option.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been a global pandemic affecting millions of people's lives, which has led to 'post-COVID-19 fatigue'. Alarmingly, severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) not only infects the lungs but also influences the heart and brain. Endothelial cell dysfunction and hypercoagulation, which we know occur with this infection, lead to thrombo-inflammation that can manifest as many myriad cardio-cerebrovascular disorders, such as brain fog, fatigue, cognitive dysfunction, etc.

The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted the need for the development of new biosensors for SARS-CoV-2 detection. Particularly, systems with qualities such as sensitivity, fast detection, appropriate to large-scale analysis, and applicable in situ, avoiding using specific materials or personnel to undergo the test, are highly desirable. In this regard, developing an electrochemical biosensor based on peptides derived from the angiotensin-converting enzyme receptor 2 (ACE2) is a possible answer.

Unlabelled: Among different anti-hypertensive drugs, calcium channel blockers and human angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are the two main types. Herein, we took 25 biologically active ligands with potent anti-hypertensive activities and performed molecular docking studies with the human ACE receptor (PDB ID 1O8A) and human leukocyte antigens (HLA) complex, human voltage-dependent calcium channel alpha1 subunit (PDB ID 3LV3). Beforehand, we had performed density functional theory (DFT) studies to find out their structure-property relationships.
