Introduction: Prone positioning with head rotation can influence cerebral haemodynamics, potentially affecting cerebral perfusion and oxygenation. Elderly patients with impaired brain perfusion and oxygenation are at an increased risk of developing postoperative delirium (POD). Despite this, few studies have explored whether head orientation during prone positioning contributes to POD in older adults, an aspect often overlooked by clinicians.

Through studies of new antimalarial drugs, we identified 1,2,6,7-tetraoxaspiro[7.11]nonadecane (N-89) as a potential drug candidate. Here, we analyzed the antimalarial action of a transdermal formulation (td) of N-89, designed for easy use by children, using Plasmodium berghei-infected mice as a model for malaria patients.

TMEM16A, a key calcium-activated chloride channel, is crucial for many physiological and pathological processes such as cancer, hypertension, and osteoporosis, etc. However, the regulatory mechanism of TMEM16A is poorly understood, limiting the discovery of effective modulators. Here, we unveil an allosteric gating mechanism by presenting a high-resolution cryo-EM structure of TMEM16A in complex with a channel inhibitor that we identified, Tamsulosin, which is resolved at 2.

This study aimed to design new hybrid compounds with imidazolidin-2,4-dione and morpholine rings as broad spectrum anticonvulsants. To achieve this goal, all compounds were evaluated in animal seizure models, namely the maximal electroshock (MES), the subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (scPTZ), and selected in the 6 Hz (32 mA) tests. The most promising compound, 5-isopropyl-3-(morpholinomethyl)-5-phenylimidazolidine-2,4-dione (19), demonstrated broader anticonvulsant activity than phenytoin or levetiracetam, with ED50 of 26.

Missense mutations in calmodulin (CaM)-encoding genes are associated with life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia syndromes. Here, we investigated a role of cardiac K channel dysregulation in arrhythmogenic long QT syndrome (LQTS) using a knock-in mouse model heterozygous for a recurrent mutation (p.N98S) in the gene (Calm1).
