Menopausal symptoms of sleep disturbances, cognitive deficits, and hot flashes are understudied, in part due to the lack of animal models in which they co-occur. Common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) are valuable nonhuman primates for studying these symptoms, and we examined changes in cognition (reversal learning), sleep (48 h/wk of sleep recorded by telemetry), and thermoregulation (nose temperature in response to mild external warming) in middle-aged, surgically-induced menopausal marmosets studied at baseline, during 3-week phases of ethinyl estradiol (EE, 4 μg/kg/day, p.o.

Article Synopsis
  • This study examines the effectiveness of oral ketamine as a pain reliever after major spine surgery, noting its potential to reduce reliance on opioids, which have problematic side effects.
  • Conducted at Toronto Western Hospital, the trial was randomized and placebo-controlled involving 35 adult patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery.
  • While there were no significant differences in overall recovery or pain scores between ketamine and placebo groups, those receiving ketamine used fewer opioids post-surgery and reported some benefits such as improved recovery.

Background: Pregnancy is associated with physiological changes that can alter the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of many drugs. Low-dose aspirin is used for preeclampsia prevention; however, aspirin's pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics are poorly studied in pregnant women.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the pharmacodynamics of 2 common doses of aspirin (75 and 150 mg) used for preeclampsia prevention in high-risk women by examining their effect on thromboxane B inhibition.
