Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between immune nutrition indices and disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Methods: The current study included a cross-sectional analysis of 90 age and gender-matched healthy controls and 116 RA patients who satisfied the 2010 American College of Rheumatology and European League Against Rheumatism categorization criteria. Patients were categorized into remission (disease activity score 28- erythrocyte sedimentation rate (DAS 28-ESR) <2.6) and active disease (DAS 28-ESR ≥2.6) groups.
Results: Systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII), controlling nutritional status (CONUT), and fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (FAR) were higher in the RA group than in controls, whereas CRP-albumin-lymphocyte ratio (CALLY) and prognostic nutrition index (PNI) were considerably lower in RA ( < 0.001). The clinical and simplified disease activity index, DAS 28-ESR had negative correlation with PNI and CALLY ( < 0.001). PNI and CALLY were independently related markers of disease activity ( < 0.001) by regression analysis. According to receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, the ideal cutoff values for the active disease are as follows: CONUT, 0.5; CALLY, 12.5, SII, 579.43, FAR, 90.43, and PNI, 40. CALLY was the most sensitive (84.06%) and specific marker (95.74%).
Conclusions: CALLY and PNI may be useful prognostic markers for assessing disease activity in RA patients.

Updates on Intrinsic Medicinal Chemistry of 1,4-dihydropyridines, Perspectives on Synthesis and Pharmacokinetics of Novel 1,4-dihydropyrimidines as Calcium Channel Blockers: Clinical Pharmacology.

Background: Several chemical studies described the physiological efficacy of 1,4- dihydropyridines (DHPs). DHPs bind to specific sites on the α1 subunit of L-type calcium channels, where they demonstrate a more pronounced inhibition of Ca2+ influx in vascular smooth muscle compared to myocardial tissue. This selective inhibition is the basis for their preferential vasodilatory action on peripheral and coronary arteries, a characteristic that underlies their therapeutic utility in managing hypertension and angina.

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a heterogeneous inflammatory disease with various joint and skin manifestations and multiple associated comorbidities. The management of PsA is important not only in controlling disease activity and preventing subsequent damage but also in improving the quality of life and reducing mortality. Over the years, numerous drugs have been introduced into the therapeutic armamentarium of the disease.

Introduction/objective: Emotional, mental, or psychological distress, defined as increased symptoms of depression, anxiety, and/or stress, is common in patients with chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular (CV) disease (CVD).
Methods: Literature was reviewed regarding data from studies and meta-analyses examining the impact of emotional stress on the occurrence and outcome of several CVDs (coronary disease, heart failure, hypertension, arrhythmias, stroke). These influences' pathophysiology and clinical spectrum are detailed, tabulated, and pictorially illustrated.
Pro-renin Receptor (PRR) as a Target to Reduce Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Post Liver Transplantation.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the main causes of chronic liver disorders following liver transplantation. The prorenin receptor (PRR) plays a role in glucose and lipid metabolism, and the hepatic dysregulation of PRR is associated with the upregulation of several molecular pathways, such as the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) that promotes hepatic lipogenesis and leads to lipid accumulation in hepatocytes by upregulation of lipogenic genes. PRR inhibition leads to a reduction in the hepatic expression of sortilin-1 and low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) levels and down-regulation of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) and reduces fatty acids synthesis in hepatocytes.

The world's one of the major causes of death are cancer. Cancer is still a complex disease over the years that needs to be cured. Traditional cytotoxic approaches, although they have been implemented for years for treating neoplastic diseases, yet are limited due to the intricacy and low efficiency of cancer cells.
