Background And Objectives: Females of reproductive age are increasingly using attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medication, but its use during pregnancy and breastfeeding is largely unknown. The aim of this study is to examine the prevalence of ADHD medication fills during pregnancy and breastfeeding, including characteristics of these females and cohort differences over time.

Methods: We conducted a descriptive study using Danish nationwide registers.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of antihypertensive drugs on reproductive function in Rattus norvegicus and demonstrate the potential role of oxidative stress in reproductive dysfunction. Rattus norvegicus were selected as the experimental animals and divided into the following groups: healthy (control group), clonidine (CL), rilmenidine (RLD), methyldopa (MTL), amlodipine (ALD), and ramipril (RML). Each individual in each group was marked from one to six.

The immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a crucial role in the progression and treatment resistance of melanoma. Modulating the TME is thus a key strategy for enhancing therapeutic outcomes. Previousstudies have identified clonidine (CLD), an α2-adrenergic receptor agonist, as a promising agent that enhances T lymphocyte infiltration and reduces myeloid-derived suppressor cells within the TME, thereby promoting antitumor immune responses.

Introduction: Gut microbiota plays an important role in tic disorders (TDs); however, clinical research on probiotics for chronic TDs treatment is lacking. We aimed to investigate the effectiveness of probiotics, hypothesizing that their clinical efficacy is comparable to that of clonidine in treating chronic TDs.

Methods: Patients were randomly assigned to receive either Limosilactobacillus reuteri or clonidine transdermal patch treatment for 8 weeks while maintaining their existing treatment.

Article Synopsis
  • Sleep disturbances are common in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and are linked to the severity of their symptoms, especially memory issues.* -
  • In a study using a mouse model of ASD, researchers found that non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREMs) was fragmented, which correlated with increased activity in certain brain neurons during sleep.* -
  • By inhibiting these neurons, the study showed that sleep could be stabilized and memory improved, highlighting the significant role of the locus coeruleus noradrenergic system in regulating both sleep and memory in ASD.*
