Desmopressin (1-deamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin, also known as DDAVP) is a safe haemostatic compound capable of inhibiting lymph node and lung metastasis in a mouse model of mammary tumour manipulation and surgical excision. The aim of this Study was to test the efficacy and safety of perioperative DDAVP (1 mu g/kg) in surgically treated bitches with mammary gland tumours (MGT). Twenty-one, otherwise healthy, intact bitches, with malignant MGT stage III or IV were randomly allocated to DDAVP (n = 11) or placebo (n = 10) groups. En bloc mastectomy of the affected gland/s was performed. DDAVP had a significant beneficial effect on disease-free period (P < 0.01) and overall survival time (P < 0.05). No side effects were seen in any of the cases. Whatever the mechanism of action, it seems that DDAVP may have a novel use in cancer surgery to minimise spread or survival of residual malignant cells. Additional, large scale controlled trials are required to fully evaluate this adjuvant pharmacological protocol. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Effect of Ivermectin and Atorvastatin on Nuclear Localization of Importin Alpha and Drug Target Expression Profiling in Host Cells from Nasopharyngeal Swabs of SARS-CoV-2-Positive Patients

Summary: Nuclear transport and vesicle trafficking play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of RNA viruses. This study found that COVID-19 patients exhibit gene expression alterations in importins and Rho GTPases compared to non-COVID-19 patients. Ivermectin (IVM) and atorvastatin (ATV) have the potential to inhibit viral infection-induced NF-kappa B activation and affect the gene expression of importins and Rho GTPases. Through confocal microscopy, it was observed that IVM and ATV can significantly inhibit importin alpha nuclear accumulation, suggesting them as potential drugs to impair the nuclear localization of importin alpha during SARS-CoV-2 infection at clinically-relevant concentrations.

Summary: This study assessed the feasibility and diagnostic reliability of a new smartphone-based ECG device in dogs, and found no significant differences compared to a traditional ECG device. The results suggest that the smartphone-based device is clinically reliable for assessing heart rate and rhythm in dogs.
